MPU controls multi-axis motors in real time

Renesas’s RZ/T2H microprocessor, its most advanced for industrial equipment, enables precise control of robot motors with up to nine axes. The device’s application processing and real-time performance make it well-suited for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motion controllers, distributed control systems, and computerized numerical controls (CNCs). It also supports a variety of network communications, including industrial Ethernet with Time Sensitive Networking (TSN).

The RZ/T2H features four Arm Cortex-A55 CPUs (up to 1.2 GHz) for application tasks and two Cortex-R52 CPUs (up to 1 GHz) for real-time processing. Each R52 core is equipped with 576 KB of tightly coupled memory (TCM). The RZ/T2H also supports 32-bit-wide LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM for external memory, enabling high-performance tasks like Linux applications, robot trajectory generation, and PLC sequence processing.

To support multi-axis motor control, the RZ/T2H provides 3-phase PWM timers, delta-sigma interfaces for current measurement, and encoder interfaces. Peripheral functions for motor control are connected to the Low Latency Peripheral Port (LLPP) of the Cortex-R52 for fast access.

The RZ/T2H microprocessor is now available through authorized Renesas distributors.
