Frequently Asked Questions

What industrial protocols are supported?

The solution supports major industrial Ethernet protocols including EtherCAT, PROFINET IO, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, and CC-Link IE. Protocol IP cores are available from Unisplendour and third-party vendors.

Verify specific protocol requirements. Most protocols can be implemented in FPGA fabric with appropriate IP cores.

How many motor axes can this solution control?

The solution can support 4-6 axes of servo control or 8-16 axes of stepper control depending on control algorithm complexity. The PGT180H has sufficient logic and DSP resources for multi-axis synchronized motion control.

Evaluate based on axis count and control algorithm requirements. Contact FAE for detailed resource estimation.

What is the temperature range for industrial operation?

The industrial-grade components support -40°C to +100°C operation. This exceeds typical commercial requirements and ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments including outdoor installations and high-temperature factory floors.

Verify ambient temperature requirements. Industrial grade recommended for all factory automation applications.

Does BeiLuo provide reference designs for this solution?

Yes, as an authorized Unisplendour distributor, BeiLuo provides comprehensive reference designs including schematics, PCB layouts, FPGA reference code, and software drivers. These designs can significantly accelerate your development timeline.

Start with reference design and customize for specific requirements. Reduces development risk and time.

What development tools are required?

Development requires Pango Design Suite for FPGA development and standard ARM toolchain for processor software. BeiLuo provides evaluation boards and technical support to help customers get started quickly.

Contact BeiLuo for evaluation kit and tool licensing information. Training available for new users.

How does this compare to Xilinx or Intel FPGA solutions?

Unisplendour FPGAs offer comparable performance to Xilinx Zynq and Intel Cyclone at 20-30% lower cost. The main trade-off is ecosystem maturity. For new designs without legacy IP dependencies, Unisplendour provides excellent value with local support.

Evaluate based on performance requirements, IP availability, and total cost including support.
