This paper presents a speed estimation technique for the permanent magnet synchronous motor drive. A Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) has been formed using the instantaneous and steady-state reactive powers to estimate the speed. It has been shown that such unique MRAS offers several desirable features. The proposed technique is completely independent of stator resistance and is less para...

Rotor dynamics plays an important role in many engineering fields such as gas turbine, steam turbine, reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, the spindle of machine tools, and so on. Owing to the growing demands for high power, high speed, and light weight of the rotor-bearing system, computations of critical speeds and steady-state response at synchronous and sub critical resonances become ...

This paper presents a design and implementation of a monitoring and control system for the three-phase induction motor based on programmable logic controller (PLC) technology. Also, the implementation of the hardware and software for speed control and protection with the results obtained from tests on induction motor performance is provided. The PLC correlates the operational parameters to the ...

As the synchronous data transfer portion of a SCSI request becomes faster and faster, the time spent in SCSI protocol overhead becomes an ever increasing fraction of the total time. While substantial reductions in overhead can still be obtained by improving SCSI device implementations, there is a lower limit built into the SCSI protocol which will restrict performance at Fast-80 speeds. In resp...

This document describes a MAPOS extension, Node Switch Protocol, for automatic node address assignment. MAPOS is a multiple access protocol for transmission of network-protocol datagrams, encapsulated in High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) frames, over SONET/SDH. NSP automates the HDLC address configuration of each node. Using NSP, a node retrieves its HDLC address from the switch to which it i...
