Industrial & collaborative robot

Our analog and embedded processing products help you improve motor control performance and exceed isolation and EMC requirements per IEC standards. Sense voltages and currents with the best signal integrity using our latest delta-sigma modulators in your robot power stage. By easily implementing safety functions, such as Safe Torque Off, you can also meet system-level safety requirements. Boost your motor control design performance and explore breakthrough technologies, such as GaN, to increase your robot power density and efficiency.

Real-time communication interfaces, such as Fast Serial Interfaces or Ethernet, are required to allow for precise and safe motion and achieve timely communication between all robot systems. Our latest multi-core processors offer the right combination of high-performance and general-purpose processing by combining real-time ARM cores and programmable real-time logic in one package. The Programmable Real-Time Unit Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS) supports most industrial communications protocols and is capable for gigabit speeds and Time Sensitive Networking features. 

Real-time control is achieved through constant measurement of motor currents, voltages and position to precisely control the position and speed of the motor. Our real-time control processors help you achieve the right performance, precision and stability so your system is not degraded due to communication, processing and acquisition delays. Modern motor drive systems continue to increase performance requirements, which, in return, increases the requirements for real-time control. Our C2000™ MCUs and Sitara™ processors enable best-in-class motion control, cycle time and path accuracy offering the high processing capabilities required for real-time and safe robot control. 

Meet the rigorous requirements of functional safety standards, such as IEC 61508, with our Functional Safety-Complaint sensors and processors for simple, safe and affordable solutions. We offer functional safety-certified engineers, available documentation and resources, such as functional safety Failures In Time (FIT) rate, Failure modes, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA), safety certificates and software diagnostics libraries, to help you streamline the certification process. 

We offer a broad range of efficient edge-computing performance with the system-on-chip (SoC) architecture of our highly-integrated Arm®-based processors and digital signal processors. With integrated hardware accelerators, analog and connectivity, our devices allow you to meet functional safety and security requirements. Our development platforms, including hardware, open-source software and tools, help you accelerate your time to market.
