One of the features of the Hardware Configuration Manager is the ability to duplicate an existing hardware configuration to extend its capabilities.
For example, consider a case where a user would like to simulate four independent PMSM motors on two different PXIe-7868Rs. To achieve this, we can create a new hardware configuration by duplicating an existing one containing a Dual PMSM machine model on one PXIe-7868R, e.g. the eHSx32_Dual_PMSM_VDQ_IO_32DO_7868R. This will allow the simulation of double the resources on two separate PXIe-7868R FPGA targets.
Procedure
- From the Power Electronics Add-On Main Page, launch the Hardware Configuration Manager by clicking the Launch HCM button on the toolbar.
- Select the eHSx32_Dual_PMSM_VDQ_IO_32DO_7868R configuration from the Installed Configurations list.
- Click the >> button twice to populate the Selected Bitfiles list with the duplicate configuration. Note that this process also auto-assigns the FPGA Identifier.
- Enter a New Hardware Configuration Name and Description into the provided text boxes, and then click Create New Hardware Configuration.
