1 Introduction
Monitoring and control of drives is a necessary prerequisitefor quality control of a product as well as for energy con-servation in automated process plants Electrical energy issupplied to the motors through power electronic converterto get the desired torquespeed characteristics of the motorsfor motion control in industrial processes This is achievedthrough modern motor drives advance control algorithmsand intelligent devices such as programmable logic controller(PLC) digital signal processor (DSP) and microcontrollerThis makes the operation of drives complex sophisticatedand expensive [1] Further in production plant the processis distributed at shop level based on functional require-ments which results in distribution of the various drivesfor different process operations In distributed drives systemthe processing tasks are physically distributed among thevarious drives which requires placement of the necessarycomputing with optimal volume of data close to the processSuch system also provides fault tolerant and self-diagnosticcapability and enhances the reliability of overall systemThusa distributed drives system has partially autonomous localcomputing devices with input output and storage capabil-ity interconnected through a digital communication linkcoordinated by a supervisory control and data acquisitionsystem The distributed system has the advantages of local
as well as centralized control In such cases the SCADAand programmable logic controller coordinate the localcontrollers through a communication link [2]
In the past few decades limited literatures are available ondistributed drives control using PLC Applications of PLChave been reported for monitoring control system of aninduction motor [3 4] PLC has been also used as a powerfactor controller for power factor improvement and to keepthe voltage to frequency ratio of a three-phase IM constantunder all control conditions [5] Also a vector-oriented con-trol scheme for the regulation of voltage and current of three-phase pulse widthmodulation inverter which uses a complexprogrammable logic device (CPLD) [6] has been reportedRemote control and operation of electric drive need a largeamount of data to be acquired processed and presented bythe SCADA system [7 8] In this paper distributed controlfor a three-phase IM drive and a three-phase PMSM drive isconfigured designed and developed for experimental workand integrated control operation is demonstrated throughexperimental and simulation results The application ofadjustable speed drives (ASDs) for fans pumps blowers andcompressors do not require very precise speed control Speedsensor in a drive adds cost and reduces the reliability of thedrive Therefore for applications requiring moderate per-formance sensorless drive is a better option and hencesensorless vector control is used for IM control [9ndash14] On the

other hand PMSMs are generally used for low-power servoapplications where very precise position control is requiredA PID controller is applied [15] to the position control and amodel reference adaptive control has been implemented forthe PMSM [16] As speed estimators and observers rely onthe knowledge of motor parameters they are inadequate foraccurate position estimation In the present work a positionfeedback encoder is used for PMSM and an indirect field-oriented control is employed for its control [17ndash19]
A detailed study on distributed drives including designdevelopment and testing of prototype distributed drives isdemonstrated The monitoring and supervisory control ofIM and PMSM drives thereby validating the concept ofdistributed drives is also described Further the developedexperimental setup enables and facilitates imparting trainingand providing the facilities with hands of experimentationresearch and practical training The necessary SCADA GUIhas also been created for the display of drive parameters suchas speed The performances of IM and PMSM are predictedby sensitivity analysis

The hysteresis PWM current controller attempts to forcethe actual motor currents to reference current values usingstator current feedback The error between these currents isused to switch the PWM inverter The output of the PWMis supplied to the stator of the PMSM which yields thecommanded speed The position feedback is obtained by anoptical encoder mounted on the machine shaft
In order to operate the drive in the flux weakening modeit is essential to find the maximum speed The maximumoperating speed with zero torque can be obtained from thesteady state stator voltage equations The flux weakeningcontroller computes the demagnetizing component of statorcurrent 119894

3 Sensitivity Analysis of IM and PMSM
Sensitivity analysis is used by designers of machines forthe prediction of the effect of parameter of interest on theperformance variables of themotor In the present study sen-sitivity values of the performance variables like power inputpower output efficiency power factor stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current developed torque and startingtorque with respect to the equivalent circuit parameters areobtained for the IM The sensitivity is computed by (24) assensitivity of a variable 119873 with respect to a parameter 120572 canbe represented as
119878119873
120572= 100 sdot
(119873119888minus 119873119899)
119873119899
(24)
where 119873119899is the performance variable with nominal param-
eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when
the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

other hand PMSMs are generally used for low-power servoapplications where very precise position control is requiredA PID controller is applied [15] to the position control and amodel reference adaptive control has been implemented forthe PMSM [16] As speed estimators and observers rely onthe knowledge of motor parameters they are inadequate foraccurate position estimation In the present work a positionfeedback encoder is used for PMSM and an indirect field-oriented control is employed for its control [17ndash19]
A detailed study on distributed drives including designdevelopment and testing of prototype distributed drives isdemonstrated The monitoring and supervisory control ofIM and PMSM drives thereby validating the concept ofdistributed drives is also described Further the developedexperimental setup enables and facilitates imparting trainingand providing the facilities with hands of experimentationresearch and practical training The necessary SCADA GUIhas also been created for the display of drive parameters suchas speed The performances of IM and PMSM are predictedby sensitivity analysis

where 119873119899is the performance variable with nominal param-
eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when
the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when
the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when
the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

lowest Magnetizing current is more sensitive to changes in119883119898and less sensitive to changes in119883
119903 The developed torque
and starting torque are mainly affected by variations in 119877119903
The sensitivity of developed torque is the least with respect to119883119903and119883

The sensitivity of the performance variables with respectto frequency and supply voltage is also obtained It is observed
that the frequency variation has maximum effect on startingtorque and magnetizing current followed by starting currentThe sensitivity of developed torque with respect to frequencyis the least The sensitivity of power input power outputdeveloped torque and starting torque with respect to supplyvoltage is 2 each Similarly the stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current and so forth change by 1 withrespect to variation in supply voltage The supply voltagevariation has negligible effect on efficiency while powerfactor is not affected by supply voltage variation

3 Sensitivity Analysis of IM and PMSM
Sensitivity analysis is used by designers of machines forthe prediction of the effect of parameter of interest on theperformance variables of themotor In the present study sen-sitivity values of the performance variables like power inputpower output efficiency power factor stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current developed torque and startingtorque with respect to the equivalent circuit parameters areobtained for the IM The sensitivity is computed by (24) assensitivity of a variable 119873 with respect to a parameter 120572 canbe represented as
119878119873
120572= 100 sdot
(119873119888minus 119873119899)
119873119899
(24)
where 119873119899is the performance variable with nominal param-
eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when
the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

Figure 15 Effect of parametric variations on the efficiency of PMSMfor rated speed and rated torque
parameters The sensitivity of the power input and poweroutput with respect to 119877
119903is the highest and is the lowest
with respect to 119883119903 Motor efficiency is less sensitive to all
the equivalent circuit parameters with variation in 119877119904and
119883119898
affecting it more compared to other parameters Thepower factor is more affected by variation in 119883
119898and 119877
119903
while variations in other parameters have less effect on itThestator current is more affected by variation in 119877
119903and least by
variation in119883119903The sensitivity of starting currentwith respect
to 119883119904and 119883
119903is the highest while with respect to 119883
119898is the
lowest Magnetizing current is more sensitive to changes in119883119898and less sensitive to changes in119883
119903 The developed torque
and starting torque are mainly affected by variations in 119877119903
The sensitivity of developed torque is the least with respect to119883119903and119883
119898 respectively
The sensitivity of the performance variables with respectto frequency and supply voltage is also obtained It is observed
that the frequency variation has maximum effect on startingtorque and magnetizing current followed by starting currentThe sensitivity of developed torque with respect to frequencyis the least The sensitivity of power input power outputdeveloped torque and starting torque with respect to supplyvoltage is 2 each Similarly the stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current and so forth change by 1 withrespect to variation in supply voltage The supply voltagevariation has negligible effect on efficiency while powerfactor is not affected by supply voltage variation
