This document discusses digital signal processing (DSP) based motor control using the TMS320C240 DSP controller. It provides an overview of DSP and motor control trends, describes the TMS320 family and TMS320C240 controller, and discusses AC induction motors and different control methods like scalar and vector control. Vector control methods like field oriented control are highlighted as providing faster response, four quadrant speed control, and reduced motor size and power consumption. The conclusion states that the TMS320C240 DSP controller allows for intelligent control approaches to reduce system costs and improve drive system reliability.
