• Resumen

  • The practical implementation of a control system for an industrial electric drive involves a wide variety of well-integrated fields such ascontrol electronics, power electronics and electric machines and drives. The learning tool presented here allows students to work with allthese different fields. Furthermore, once the control system is running, this tool also provides the student with a fine-tuning system thataids understanding of the processes involved. The tuning is quite a complex task, since the whole system needs to be running in order totest the effects of successive adjustments. Traditional tuning is tedious because it is necessary to introduce the changes offline, executethe program, stop it and collect the information to be analyzed. Since the system is based on an industrial DSP, it allows an in-depthanalysis of all the different phases needed to carry out the practical implementation of the drive control program on it. The low cost ofthis industrial DSP facilitates its use on several work benches for educational purposes. The learning system also implements a RealTime Data Exchange feature, which allows for real-time monitoring of the desired variables, such as currents, voltages andintermediate control variables.
