This document presents a solution for controlling a permanent magnet synchronous motor using the Texas Instruments (TI?) TMS320C24x digital signal processor (DSP). The new TMS320C24x family of DSPs offers a cost-effective design of intelligent controllers for brushless motors that can fulfill enhanced operations consisting of fewer system components, lower system cost, and increased performances. The control method presented relies on the field orientated control (FOC) together with a field-weakening operation. This algorithm maintains efficiency in a wide range of speeds, above nominal speed, and takes into consideration torque changes with transient phases by controlling the flux directly from the rotor coordinates. This report describes a practical solution and corresponding results.
