VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer™

VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer (VisSim/ECD) is an environment for model-based development of embedded control systems. Using a block diagram approach, you can quickly create a working model of your control system; it can be as simple as a PID control or as complex as a multi-axis sensorless FOC PMSM controller with packet-based RS485 command protocol and dynamic I²C EEPROM read/write.
With your model in diagram form, you simulate and generate code. In simulation mode, it is fast and easy to prototype, optimize, and debug before you ever generate code. Once you are happy with the simulated performance, just click the Compile button to generate highly efficient C code and compile it to a target executable. The VisSim target HotLink lets you download and interactively debug your algorithm while it runs on the target.
VisSim/ECD is unique in its ability to generate highly efficient, high sample rate, low jitter target executables. For example, a closed-loop PID control with encoder input and PWM output and one digital output line takes 1.1K flash and 100 bytes RAM on the MSP430, and VisSim/ECD generated code can sample at rates over 1 MHz on the F28335. As a TI 3rd party partner, Visual Solutions has gained valuable access to TI technology to tune VisSim/ECD to make best use of TI processors and peripherals.
