Interfaces
The IP Core of the DSL Master includes interfaces to the motor feedback system (DSL
Slave) and to the frequency inverter application (see
).
The motor feedback system communicates via a DSL connection with the DSL Master.
All data channels between the DSL Master and DSL Slave are routed via this connec‐
tion.
The user application is connected via one interface (choice of SPI or parallel bus) and
several control signals . In addition, the frequency inverter provides a clock signal (CLK)
and a reset signal (RST) to the DSL Master IP Core. By means of these signals, a
defined start-up performance is achieved.
According to the requirements of the particular application, an optional serial interface
(SPI-PIPE) can be employed to use the SensorHub Channel (see
The various interfaces correspond to the tasks described in

Drive interface
The drive interface forms the central communications interface between the frequency
inverter application and the DSL Master IP Core. Absolute and fast position data can
be read via this interface. The functions of the motor feedback system are also accessi‐
ble via this interface.
The following signals are used for Drive interface:
