Software

Our specialties include high control dynamics and high clock frequencies.

Specifications

Short development times
Controlling very high fundamental frequencies of up to 7 kHz
Controlling very high clock frequencies of up to 60 kHz
Real-time operating system with TCP/IP stack
Fast data visualization via XCP over Ethernet
Implementation of client-specific functions
Validation and optimization of entire systems on our test benches

The high power densities of our drive systems are achieved by a high number of magnetic poles and the high speeds of our electrical machines.

This means high pole change frequencies, and therefore high clock frequencies, in electronics and software. The high control dynamics required in auto racing places extreme demands on controller cycle time and resolution of pollage capturing.

Processing particularly time-critical functions in an FPGA means that various application-specific tasks can, nevertheless, still be carried out on the micro-controller of the in-house controller platform.

A real-time operating system, supplemented by a TCP/IP stack, allows for CAN communication, as well as the application and fast data visualization via XCP over Ethernet.

The controller platform we use generally consists of the following:

The controller platform we use generally consists of the following:
Xilinx SoC XA7Z020 (600MHz Dual Core and FPGA)
Intelligent Watchdog Infineon CIC61508
OSEK-compliant (AUTOSAR®-BSW)
Coding via Matlab/Simulink
Access via CAN and XCP-over-Ethernet interface
Control modes
- Torque control
- Speed control
- Power control
- Sensorless control

This makes Compact Dynamics capable of implementing both demanding and fast control algorithms, as well as client-specific features, within short development times, and optimizing and validating these within the entire system on in-house test benches.

Congratulations to the winners of the WRC and many thanks for the last 4 years

Congratulations to Hyundai Motor Company's Thierry Neuville / Martijn Wydaeghe for the Drivers' World Championship title and to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe for the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship Manufacturers' World Championship title.

Compact Dynamics' time as the exclusive series supplier of the FIA's hybrid system for the WRC rallies from 2022 to 2024 will unfortunately come to an end with the abolition of the hybrid unit in the Rally1 cars from 2025.

Many thanks to the teams of Hyundai Motor Company, Toyota Motor Corporation and Ford Motor Company/M-Sport, to the WRC Promoter GmbH and to the FIA World Rally Championship for the good cooperation. A heartfelt thank you to Edouard Montagner Fricker, Laurent Le Bastard and Barny Whitwham, our WRC track support team, for their excellent work on site.
