Abstract :
Since the switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is in the research and development stage, a personal computer is an ideal choice for a controller, providing software reconfigurability, real-time control and reduced hardware complexity, among other advantages. The drive performance can be optimized based on the understanding gained with an interactive PC controller. The design and implementation details of such a controller are presented. Experimental results on a laboratory prototype SRM drive using a PC-based controller are included to corroborate the design approach.<>
