A novel fiber-CAN-based real time communication system for MV-ASD systems

The voltage increment in MV-ASD systems deteriorates the electromagnetic environment, therefore the communication system is facing a formidable challenge in the attempt to achieve the numerous real-time interactivities among those subsystems under such electromagnetic circumstance. This paper focuses on the real-time communication system for the MV-ASD systems, in which electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), real-time performance and system reliability are considered simultaneously. A novel fiber-CAN network is designed and implemented, which remarkably increases EMC compared to the conventional ones. The CAN system that serves in the multiprocessor control system for the MV-ASD system with the rated power of 1 MW is implemented. From the experiment results in the MV-ASD system with a 690 kW motor, it can be verified that the requests of timing performance and the reliability for the communication system are well accomplished
