Chapter 2: SimplIQ Drive Description
SimplIQ drives are sophisticated, network-oriented, single-axis digital drives, featuring:
ƒ State-of-the-art control algorithms including high-order filters and gain scheduling
ƒ A sophisticated reference generation algorithm, which includes absolute time
interpolated motion, auxiliary signal following and ECAM
ƒ Synchronization capability for network operation
ƒ Conformance to CANopen standards
ƒ User-friendly programming
ƒ Advanced analysis tool for setup
ƒ Built-in auto-tuning facilities
ƒ Built-in database maintenance tools
ƒ Built-in firmware maintenance tools
All these features are implemented in the tiny DSP environment.
2.1 Software Organization
In the SimplIQ family of drives, the DSP software is divided into three parts:
ƒ Boot software, which is permanently burnt into the internal DSP flash memory and
cannot be upgraded during product life. The boot software includes data that assists
the firmware in identifying the exact drive model in which it is operating. The data
includes the maximal motor phase current, the nominal bus voltage, the hardware of
the communication sensors and I/O interface, and the grade (model) of the drive
(Standard or Advanced).
