Integrated motor drive for

distributed motion control

STMicroelectronics

SPIMD20 2 kW drive with industrial Ethernet connectivity for

integration in electric motors
The SPIMD20 is a step forward
in motion control. It offers a
complete motor drive solution in a
single, robust and reliable module,
including full bridge IGBT inverter,
control unit and communication
interface based on real-time
industrial Ethernet.

Key features

It is ready to be integrated in any

brushless 3-phase motor up to
2 kW (i.e. 6.4 Nm @ 3000 rpm).

QQ

The flexibility of the concept

allows you to use the SPIMD20
as the first brick in a motiondistributed solution, implementing
proprietary or open solutions.

QQ

The architecture is suitable for the

most common industrial safety
standards.

Motion control evolution

The SPIMD20 is suitable for direct
integration into electric motors. This
approach allows you to create chains
of drives, moving the logic and power
electronics from the classic rack to the
motor.

The module is equipped with basic

firmware, implemented on STM32,
so it may be used in an Ethercat or
CANopen network, with FOC control
of the motor (position, speed and
current).

In addition, the SPIMD20 is fully

customizable both for firmware
(different motion algorithm) and logic
(different Ethernet fieldbus).

The basic firmware of the SPIMD20 (furnished in C code) includes:

Speed loop closure: 1-2 kHz (PI)
Position loop closure: 1-2 kHz (P)
Torque, speed, feed forward
Low pass or/and notch filters
Synchronization of loops to the fieldbus
Position transducers: resolver or encoder EnDat 2.2
EtherCat connectivity (CoE DSP402)
CANopen (DS301, DSP402)

Integration
All you need to do is design
a junction adapter in order to
support the network topology
chosen and house IOs, Flash card
and RS232 interfaces.

Hybrid cable:
Ethernet + power
To master
and power supply

A hybrid cable provides DC bus

and Ethernet wires.
