Evaluation and demonstration boards and kits are designed to provide users a platform for the development of embedded systems. The KIT34978EKEVB is one such product available in this category and the aim of this article is to explain its application field and working principle.

Overview

KIT34978EKEVB is a C2000 Microcontroller (MCU) based development environment from Texas Instruments. Its primary use is for the development and evaluation of a variety of applications ranging from motor control, power management, HVAC, digital power conversion, digital lighting, smart meters, and industrial automation with one convenient platform. It consists of an efficient 4 in 1 platform that combines the controlCARD, controlSTICK, BoosterPack and base board in one unit enabling developers to build, program and debug a complete embedded control system. In addition, multiple development tools and software resources are provided from TI making the development process easier for users including the ability toprogram and debug via the 30 pins, 20 pins connector or via the USB interface.

Features

The KIT34978EKEVB supports various devices including the C2000 32-bit Piccolo F28035 & F28069 MCUs, InstaSPIN™ motor control solution with on-board Isolated DC/DC converter and Gate drivers. It supports five peripherals; PWM, eCAP, eQEP, SPIA and UART. Different types of user interface control options available on the platform are; an 8x8 LED Matrix, Cap MCE4 touch sensor and two linear slider Potentiometers. The development board is powered using an external 12V adapter from Texas Instruments with low supply current, providing efficient motor control operation. This board supports various multi-level development tools from Texas Instruments like CodeComposer Studio, ControlSUITE and MotorWare.

Operation principle

The KIT34978EKEVB works with a tailored version of C2000 Piccolo MCUs as the central point for the evaluation of embedded systems. This MCU provides efficient real-time control and communication capabilities. The on-board C2000 Piccolo MCU works on modular, systematic and scope based control solutions for factory automation, smart meters, HVAC and motor control applications. This MCU acts as the central point, communicating with peripheral components for motor control feedback and voltage control.

The programming is done using Code Composer Studio from Texas Instruments. Code Composer Studio is a software development environment used to write, compile and debug software programs for embedded devices. The user interface of the KIT34978EKEVB development board includes a membrane keypad, 2 linear Potentiometers and an 8x8 LED display. This development board is mixed signal system, meaning that it has both analog and digital I/O pins. The digital I/O pins are used for communication with peripheral devices and for communicating with the host PC. The analog I/O pins are used for sensing signals from peripherals, and for the control of the secondary side of an isolated DC/DC converter.

Applications

The KIT34978EKEVB offers a wide range of applications for motor control, power management, HVAC, digital power, conversion, digital lighting, smart meters, and industrial control. This product is mainly used as an evaluation platform for motor control systems and motor control applications. It provides a complete development platform for motor control applications with a range of features including a built-in Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm, an on-board isolated DC/DC converter and booster pack for additional peripherals and features.

This product is also used in power management applications such as HVAC, digital power conversion and digital lighting. The power management applications are enabled by the use of the TI C2000 Piccolo MCUs built-in power management peripherals such as the PUMON and PMBUS. The product also supports a range of communication protocols like CAN, Ethernet, RS485, and USB which can be used for the development of industrial automation applications using the KIT34978EKEVB.

Conclusion

KIT34978EKEVB is an innovative and powerful development tool for evaluation of embedded systems supporting a range of applications such as motor control, HVAC, digital power conversion, digital lighting, smart meters, and industrial automation. This product consists of multiple development tools such as Code Composer Studio, ControlSUITE, and MotorWare. It offers extensive features like built-in Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm, on-board isolated DC/DC converter, communication peripherals, and user interface control options.

This product is designed for appropriate use cases and provide developers with a robust, convenient, and efficient platform to evaluate components and design complete embedded systems. The modular design and cost-effective price make it a perfect choice for the development and evaluation of a variety of applications.
