SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a serial communication link used in VSD-A and VSD-E and VSD-XE drives. SPI is used to set drive parameters and it also can be used for control with SimpleMotion library.

VSD SPI bus key features[edit | edit source]
Implementation of VSD SPI bus:
- All commands are 32 bit packets:
- 8 bit command ID
- 16 bit command parameter
- 8 bit CRC error checking
- By sending one command, drive responds simultaneously with 32 bit return data packet:
- 8 bit status bits (usually not needed by application)
- 16 bit return data
- 8 bit CRC error checking
- Command rate up to 2500 commands/s (80 kbit/s)
Using VSD SPI[edit | edit source]
With SimpleMotion library[edit | edit source]
SimpleMotion library communicates to VSD-E and VSD-XE drives via SPI bus. The phyiscal transfer link between PC and VSD drive is FTDI TTL232R USB serial adapter.
From low level hardware[edit | edit source]
SPI bus on VSD drives requires 3 data wires, ground and 3-5 VDC supply (5 wires total):
- SCLK - clock signal
- MISO - master in, slave out
- MOSI - master out, slave in
VSD drive is the slave device.
SPI signals are relatively easy to generate with any programmable device with digital I/O's such as microcontrollers. SimpleMotion source code can be ported on many platforms including MCU's.
