Press Release
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

Westford, Massachusetts   Oct 31, 2006—Visual Solutions Incorporated announces the release of target support for the TI F280x industrial DSP series. This new version includes blocks for supporting the new enhanced C2000 peripherals including ePWM, eCAP, and eQEP. VisSim includes resource conflict checking, an important feature for detecting usage conflicts of the 4-way mux on the F280x pins.  I/O port read/write with resource conflict checking, eCAN . CAN addresses can now be changed on the fly. Peripheral support includes all 4 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) ports, both SCI ports, 

 VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer lets you quickly design and test embedded controllers and filters targeted for implementation on the Texas Instruments C2000 family of Digital Signal Processors including the F243, LF240x,LF281x, and F280x.

The VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer includes:

  • VisSim: a block diagram based modeling, simulation and code generation environment.
  • VisSim/Fixed Point™: fixed-point blocks and design tools for simulation and code generation of 16 bit and 32 bit scaled integer operations. 32 bit operations make automatic use of IQmath. Fixed point operations include: sin/cos/atan2/sqrt/shift/transfer function/abs/merge/case/unit delay/Limit/convert/LCD display
  • Peripheral Blocks that automatically generate code for:
    • 16 analog inputs
    • 16 ePWM outputs, with full configuration of enhanced waveforms including dynamic phase update, and dynamic period update
    • 32 digital I/O
    • 2 32 bit eQEP quadrature encoder inputs
    • 4 eCAP event capture (up to 1 MHZ resolution)
    • 10 MHz SPI channel support
    • 2 eCAN 2.0 bus, with six mailboxes
    • serial port based LCD display
  • TI C2000 Digital Motor Control (DMC) Block Set supporting simulation and code generation of efficient, hand-coded assembler versions for PI, PID, Park and Clarke transforms, Inverse Park and Clarke, space vector wave form generators, event interval to speed conversion.
  • VisSim-Code Composer Studio (CCS) plug-in for automatic CCS project creation.
  • Automatic C code generation of production quality fixed-point code, compile, link, and JTAG download to the TI MSP430, F243, LF240x,LF281x and F280x.
  • TI C2000 CAN Bus Support
  • From 1x16 to 4x40 Serial LCD Support

Todd Solak, Worldwide Marketing Manager Digital Controls System Group - Texas Instruments, says this about VisSim

"The VisSim is well integrated with our C2000 DSP EVMs . The combination of the VisSim/TI C2000 software and TI's C2000 DSPs provides designers with an excellent embedded DSP control platform."

The TI F2808 eZdsp DSK evaluation board is the perfect complement to VisSim/ECD - 16 analog inputs, 16 PWM outputs (two complete 6 channel Space Vector drivers), 2 quadrature encoder inputs, 64K of Flash RAM, 2MHZ CAN bus, 4 16-bit timers, 41 digital I/O's, 6 event capture inputs (up to 8 MHZ) all on a single chip!

The VisSim/TI-C2000 Rapid Prototyper is the smarter, faster way for embedded control design. But don't take our word for it: call 1-800-VISSIM-1 or email sales@vissol.com for a free trial version. For more information go to: http://www.vissim.com/products/c2000/c2000.html.
