PC-Based High-Speed Model Reference Motor Controller

Abstract

Personal Computer _Based Input / Output (PC-Based I/O) Interface products became increasingly reliable, accurate, flexible, simple, cost-effective, and affordable. So the PC -Based control systems are widely used in industrial and laboratory applications for monitoring, control, data acquisition, and automated testing. The PCI-bus will allow a single add-in card hardware design to be created for multiple platforms. Also, the bus standards provide the bandwidth required for many new high-performance applications. The Applied Micro Circuit Corporation (AMCC) S5933 provides a flexible and low-cost, compliant interface to the PCI-bus. The software will play a vital role in developing data acquisition and control systems. The system software consists of device drivers to control the hardware, acquisition, control, and analysis. A Model Reference controller using Neural Networks (NN) will be the controller software that will be used in this application. A neural network will be trained to control an external plant so that it follows a reference model. The neural network plant model is used to assist in the controller training with better system response to a sudden change in the motor speed. The model reference architecture requires a separate neural network controller to be trained off-line, in addition to the neural network plant model.
