In this paper, the system to control the PWM inverter-induction motor drive system including ac current sensors, voltage sensors, and an encoder through the network is developed. Although the network-based control for an induction motor drive system is becoming increasingly important at factory automations, there will inevitably be time delay from the sensors to the motor control system, which may cause the instability. The algorithm to minimize the efforts for network induced time delay of sensor data is proposed, using both the synchronous signal and the method for estimating sensor data. The experiments with DSP are carried out in order to verify proposed algorithms.
