Abstract :
A development system for new control schemes for electrical drives has been realized and tested. The system can be used either as a simulation environment for the development of control algorithms or as a real-time test facility for experimental evaluation of the performance of several control schemes. It allows an immediate practical evaluation of control strategy performances for various kinds of AC and DC drives. The control program is written in C and does not need modifications by moving from simulations to the real-time operations. This makes possible an easy and fast practical evaluation of the drive control performances, taking advantage of the test facility integrated in the development system and composed of two independent drives mechanically coupled
