Microprocessor DC Drive PDF

Microprocessor based DC drive uses microprocessors to replace analog circuits for closed loop control of a DC motor. A thyristorised converter provides power to the motor armature, while a separate converter supplies the field. A microprocessor implements an inner current loop to control armature current and an outer speed loop to control motor speed. Feedback signals on speed, current, and line voltage are converted to digital and used by the microprocessor to calculate firing angles for the converter switches in a closed loop to regulate motor speed and torque. The system offers advantages of small size, fast response, accurate and efficient control, increased range, reliability, and lower cost compared to conventional drives.

Microprocessor based DC drive:

1) Microprocessors are used in electrical drives to replace logic circuits, analog circuits
used for signal processing and closed loop control implementation.
2) The power circuit consists of a thyristorised controlled converter. The output of the
converter is driving the dc motor armature. The field supply can be obtained by using
a separate converter. Armature voltage control method is used here.
3) There are two control loops that are implemented. 1. Inner current loop which
controls the net armature current 2. Outer speed loop which controls the speed of the
motor. The diagram shows block diagram of control system.
4) Various feedback signals used are speed feedback that is taken from speed sensor

like tacho-generator and armature current sensor gives armature current feedback.
Analog to Digital converters are used for this purpose. In addition to this, there is
line voltage feedback that is required for synchronization. Line voltage feedback is
taken with the help of a zero crossing detector and pulse shaping circuit. Zero
crossing signal of mains voltage is required to produce precise, synchronous firing
pulses.
5) Speed error is calculated by considering set speed and actual speed of the motor.
Depending upon the error signal, microprocessor calculates the required firing angle
of the converter switches and the sends switching signals to the firing control circuit.
6) The firing circuit produces SCR firing pulses that are input to pulse amplifier circuit
which increases strength of the pulse and provides isolation between control and
power side.
7) The entire system operates in closed loop manner to control speed and torque
produced by the dc motor.

8) Advantages :
Small size
Fast response
Less power consumption
Accurate and efficient
Controlling range increased
System reliability is much more than conventional one.
