Abstract: In order to study the operation characteristics and speed control performance of switched reluctance motor(SRM), based on the principle and control methods of SRM, an experimental platform of four-phase 8/6 SRM was designed on the basis of the digital signal processor—TMS320F2812. The principle and features of the hardware circuit as well as the function and process of the software program were introduced in detail. Finally, multiple experiments on SRM were done based on the developed experimental platform. The results indicate that the software and hardware design of the experimental platform is correct and effective. Meanwhile, it is also proved that switched reluctance motor has excellent speed control performance under speed PID control.

Key words: switched reluctance motor(SRM); digital signal processor; chopped voltage control
