In this paper the control system of the switch reluctance motor ( SRM ) has been studied and executed, and driven by computer through the printer parallel port (LPT), and a simple explanation for switch reluctance motor has been introduced also it's
work principle and some of its advantages and disadvantages with presenting some samples, where suitable electronic circuits, pulses generation circuits, isolation circuits between computer and power circuits has been executed, with suitable programming for controlling the whole system, then suitable measurements for monitoring have been done like currents, voltages, motor speed and recorded to be discussed.
The paper describes a method of driving system for switch reluctance motor (SRM6/8)
with 4 phases by using: PC through (RS232), driving circuit utilizing microcontroller (Atmega
8535), and operating algorithm, which is stored in the microcontroller
. The operation of the
motor is monitored by using an interface which is designed to monitor and change the motor
parameters such as speed, voltage and current. This method can be used for monitoring the
motor operating in inaccessible environment.
The driving system for switch reluctance motor (SRM6/8), which is the topic of this
research, was designed and manufactured in the laboratory by using the solid iron. The coils are
carried by the poles which are fixed inside the solid iron cylinder.
