The USB behaves in a similar fashion to conventional bus ports like Serial (COM) and PS/2. As it doesn’t require any IRQs, more devices can be attached to the system without conflicts. This USB to Serial converter provides an external plug-and-play connection for RS-232 enabled devices with PC or any computerizing devices that support the USB specification. The converter comes with the standard connectors of Serial DB-9 and USB Type A or B to fulfill your working requirements. With the link of USB to Serial cable, communication starts interacting without any barriers. For further convenience, this product is designed to work by using the power drawn from the Universal Serial Bus and no external power is required. As it is an USB compliant device, features of plug and play, hot-swapping, energy-saving suspend, and resume are provided.

Special thanks to Shanker Narayan for his advice, mentorship and the love and sup- port he and his wife Preeti Subramanian have given me over the years. I would also like to thank the members of Prof. Mohan's research group for their support. Above all, I am grateful to my parents Rajavel Ganesan and Indira Rajavel and my grandparents for their infinite love, support and encouragement. i Dedication To Nikola Tesla, the genius inventor of polyphase electric machines, which still powers our world and the foremost contributor to the technology of modern radio. And to the millions of contributors to open source software and hardware, who make our world a better place. ii Abstract The growing focus toward renewable energy has made universities nation-wide to update their energy systems curriculum. A hardware lab for electric drives forms an essential part of such programs. To enable students to design control strategies, imple- ment them in-class and test them on real machines, expensive DSP based hardware are currently being used.
