Visual Solutions will be showing live demonstrations of VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer for sensorless PMSM motor control, solar power renewable energy (DC->AC conversion and voltage regulation), Piccolo F28035-based BLDC position control and digital power control at the TI Tech Day Boston. VisSim/ECD provides full, model-based support for TMS320F2803x/2x Piccolo, F280x fixed point, and F28335 Delfino floating point microcontrollers. Demonstrations will include DC-DC buck converters, PMSM motor control, renewable power generation and battery charging. Click here to register and learn more

August 4-9, 2009 ISA WWAC Orlando, FL

Paul Cavanagh, PE, CEM, Engineer III of Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners will be presenting a paper on their use of VisSim to improve control response at ISA Conference on Waste Water and Automatic Controls.

"With the existing code, the level control was both slow and unstable. A dynamic real-time computer simulation of the plant was developed using VisSim. Experimenting was now possible without risk, which resulted in the development of a new PLC control algorithm that demonstrated significant improvement to the channel level and flow splitting controls. The simulated plant was interfaced to a PLC to test before trying it on the actual plant. Simulations were run for extreme changes from normal dry weather to sudden high wet weather flows. After proving the new PLC code on the simulated plant, it was loaded into the actual plant's PLC where it performed identically well. The level control and flow splitting problems were gone. The use of VisSim has allowed PVSC to make dramatic improvements to its automated control systems."

Oct. 28-29, 2008: Embedded Systems Conference, Boston, Mass.

VisSim will share the booth with Texas Instruments at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston Mass. We will be showing the latest v7.0 features of VisSim and VisSim TI DSC support, including automatic code generation for F283x, subsystem selectable direct interrupt handling, high frequency buffer acquisition, and 300 kHz control rate of 8 buck converters using the TI Power Experimenters Kit. We look forward to seeing you there!

June 2-5, 2008: VisSim is exhibiting at the TI MSP430 Advanced Technology Conference in Sonthofen, Germany

We will be showing the latest v7.0 features of VisSim and VisSim TI MSP430 support, including SD16A, LCDA, DAC16, PWM & encoder auto codegen, our super low memory target support, and execution ordering. On Thursday, a VSI engineer will be giving hands-on lab instruction in model-based development for the MSP430F4618 Developers Board. Topics covered include initial clock and timer setup for low power operation, soft PWM dimming of an LED at 10Khz sample rate, multi-rate subsystem execution for 10Hz LED blink and temperature reading on ADC12 chan 10 with digital filter design, and writing of numeric temperature value to on-board LCD.
