Design and Implementation of a Driving System for Switch Reluctance Motor SRM(6/8) Using PC

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.
