Abstract
In situation where old crane drive with AC slip-ring motor has to be revitalized, or new drive with advanced controller designed, industrial crane controller (ASTAT®) is offered on the market as acceptable and low cost solution. Speed controller for AC slip-ring motor is developed as modular system capable to deal with all control, communication, protection and other specific industrial demands. Multiprocessor system is realized with microcontroller MC68332 (application program running), two SAB 82532 microcontrollers (distributing control system), two MC68302 (process I/O communication) and two DSP ADMC300 (speed and electromagnetic torque estimation). Request from unavoidable industrial automation in complex industrial systems resulted in use of a smart components for every specific function in the frame of complex industrial task. In this paper the basic hardware and software platform for proposed controller is presented as well as the development software tools. Special attention is paid to additional speed and torque estimation modules designed and realized on different software and hardware platform regarding the core of the control system.
