Tests of the Use of a Standard PC for the Control of Three-Phase Pulse- Width Modulated (PWM) Converters (Untersuchungen zum Einsatz eines Standard-PC fuer die Steuerung von dreiphasigen, gepulsten Stromrichtern)

摘要

This dissertation explores the use of the standard PC as an alternative to the micro controller for controlling three-phase pulse-width modulated (PWM) converters. The PC-based approach has advantages in the areas of software, hardware, organization/management, and development potential. Taking into account that the micro controller-based approach requires a host PC, the costs associated with both options are comparable. One disadvantage of the PC- based approach is that almost all system-relevant functions (for example, interrupt management) are handled outside the processor and, therefore, cannot be as effectively integrated as they can be with highly integrated micro controllers.
