In this tutorial, we will configure and deploy the PMSM SCIM Local Control example onto a Real Time PXI system with either a PXIe-7868R or PXIe-7891 FPGA card.  For an in-depth overview of this and other examples, please refer to the Examples Section of the documentation.  The steps described below can be performed on any of the shipping examples to quickly configure and run them.

The PMSM SCIM Local Control example uses the eHS Solver to simulate a two-level inverter circuit that will drive a PMSM squirrel cage induction machine model on the FPGA.  An open loop controller model executes on the Real Time CPU of the system to provide gating signals to the inverter through the FPGA-based SPWM PWM signal generators.

Note

It is not recommended to modify the examples directly from the default example installation directory.  Before making changes to the original example, consider creating a second copy of the project by copying and pasting the PMSM SCIM Local Control folder and its contents to another directory, such as the Desktop.

  1. Navigate to <Public Documents>\National Instruments\<NI VeriStand 20xx>\Examples\OPAL-RT\Power Electronics Add-On\PMSM SCIM Local Control\Project\<PXIe-XXXX>

  2. Click PMSM SCIM Local Control.nivsprj to open the VeriStand project.

Step 3: Configure the Example

  1. In the tab for the PMSM SCIM Local Control.nivssdf System Definition file, click Configure... to launch the System Explorer.

  2. Navigate to the Controller section of the tree.

  3. Configure the IP Address field with the information obtained in Step 1.3.

  4. If permissions are configured on your Real Time target, enter the credentials in the Username and Password fields.  National Instruments targets are programmed with the following credentials by default:

    Username: admin     Password: <blank>

  5. Click Save and close the System Explorer.
