Proposal for the implementation of control strategies through Texas Instruments ecosystems

Introduction: Technological evolution has contributed to the development of multiple microcontrolled platforms, such as Arduino, through which different general-purpose applications can be implemented. However, the need for more specialized systems, such as those required for real-time control, has contributed to the development of microcontrolled systems, including those manufactured by Texas Instruments. Objective: The objective of this study is to design and implement real-time control strategies using Texas Instruments ecosystems. Methodology: The work focused on an experimental framework through which digital controllers were designed using the control coprocessor as one of the ecosystems available in the Texas Instruments C2000 microcontrollers. Subsequently, the designed controllers were implemented in test plants to validate their response in real time. Results: A range of control strategies, both classical and modern, were implemented on the Texas Instruments C2000 microcontrollers. This was done to validate the response of the microcontrollers in the selected test plants. Conclusions: The controllers designed for the C2000 microcontrollers through the Texas Instruments ecosystems used allow the development of real-time control systems quickly and with high processing capacity given their characteristics. Moreover, these platforms find applications not only in teaching processes but also in industrial environments, given the existence of various software tools like MATLAB and Code Composer Studio for their programming.
