Avnet
Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE:AVT),
today announced the Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC/Analog Devices
Intelligent Drives Kit for prototyping next-generation motor control
applications. Combining the Xilinx® Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC ARM®
dual-core Cortex™-A9 + 28 nm programmable logic with the latest
generation Analog Devices high-precision data converters and digital
isolation, this kit enables high-performance motor control and dual
Gigabit Ethernet industrial networking connectivity.

Intelligent Drives Kit http://ow.ly/rBDWS
The Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC/Analog Devices Intelligent Drives Kit
is supported by Model-Based Design using Simulink®, Embedded Coder®, and
HDL Coder™ from MathWorks, allowing engineers to use an integrated
hardware/software workflow to prototype on hardware directly from
Simulink and deploy into production using the Xilinx Vivado® Design
Suite. A pre-built Zynq reference design of Field Oriented Control
features Analog Devices Ubuntu Linux framework to provide an ideal
infrastructure for designers to quickly build their own custom control
algorithms.
The kit, available
now at $995, is ideal for motor control applications targeting the
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC in the industrial and medical markets,
including integrated applications such as surgical assist robotics,
video surveillance and machine vision, vending machines, as well as
manufacturing, assembly and automation.
“Motor control applications are pervasive in the electronics landscape.
Virtually every industrial or integrated application designed today
contains some form of motor that requires software or firmware
controls,” said Jim Beneke, vice president of global technical marketing
for Avnet Electronics Marketing. “In the Zynq-7000 All Programmable
SoC/Analog Devices Intelligent Drives Kit, we have integrated
state-of-the-art software with production-grade versions of the chips
and components that designers will use for their final applications, so
that they can have the highest accuracy available when developing their
motor control systems.”
“The Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC/Analog Devices Intelligent Drives
Kit leverages the power and flexibility of the Zynq-7000 All
Programmable SoC and the Vivado Design Suite to make an easy-to-use
reference design kit so that designers can jumpstart their
high-performance motor and motion control applications,” said Christoph
Fritsch, director of industrial, scientific and medical market segments
for Xilinx. “Due to the flexibility this platform provides, it can be
used across a wide variety of markets and applications.”
“The Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC/Analog Devices Intelligent Drives
Kit features Analog Devices’ state-of-the-art precision data converters
and digital isolation technology. The combination of ADI data converters
with Xilinx FPGA platforms allows engineers to more easily create
unique, simplified motor control design solutions,” said Dave Babicz,
director, Global Alliances, Analog Devices. “With our production-grade
reference design kit, designers know they can rapidly prototype using
the same technology they will use in their end applications.”
The kit includes:
• Avnet ZedBoard 7020 baseboard
• Xilinx Vivado Design Edition voucher
• Analog Devices AD-FMCMOTCON1-EBZ Module
• 8 GB SD card programmed with application
• Zynq reference design of Field Oriented Control featuring Analog
Devices Ubuntu Linux
• Linux drivers, applications software, HDL source, reference designs,
schematics and Gerbers
• MathWorks Motor Control Design Package (optional)
• Brushless DC motor: 24V, 4000 RPM, Hall Sensors and 1250 CPR indexed
encoder
• Analog Devices Dynamometer (optional)
The base kit may be ordered with Analog Devices Dynamometer, enabling
digital control of an active load to test Zynq motor control
performance. The fixture includes a dedicated port for connection to the
Analog Discovery™ USB oscilloscope (not included) for automated control
and monitoring of the load directly from Simulink. The base kit, along
with the additional dynamometer, is available at $1695. Furthermore, a
Motor Control Design Package from MathWorks may be added to deliver a
complete turnkey solution for motor control algorithm development,
including C and HDL code generation and target support for the Zynq-7000
All Programmable SoC.
The Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC/Analog Devices Intelligent Drives Kit
is available
today. For more information, please visit www.zedboard.org.
