Abstract

An initial experience of using the INMOS transputer in achieving a user-interactive open-loop controller for an induction motor drive is described. A single 32-bit transputer, the T414, was found to be adequate for the purpose of time/synchronization, host interaction and the real-time generation of pulse-width modulation (PWM) waveforms required for the drive´s power electronics. A user-interactive PWM strategy involving real-time pulse calculations with carriers up to 4 kHz has been implemented
