DEVELOPING AN SRM DRIVE SYSTEM USING THE TMS320F240This report describes the basic operation of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) and demonstrates how TMS320F240 DSP-based SRM drive from Texas Instruments™ can be used to achieve a wide variety of control objectives.
The first part of the report offers a detailed review of the operation and characteristics of SRMs. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of motor are cited.
The second part of the report provides examples and strategies for overcoming the limitations cited for SRMs. The examples have complete hardware and software details for developing an SRM drive system using the TMS320F240. Both conventional and position sensorless operations are described, along with the theoretical basis for designing the various control algorithms. The examples can be used as baseline designs, which can be easily modified to accommodate a specific application.
