[Editor’s Note: This is part 2 of a two-part series. For part 1, go to http://bit.ly/gSjOBf.] In the motor control system, current is a common item to be measured ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Electric motors are said to consume nearly 50% of the world's electricity. Industry is focused on replacing inefficient constant-speed drives and motors with microprocessor-driven variable-speed units ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

A motor protection relay safeguards electric motors by detecting thermal stress, phase imbalance, stall, and abnormal ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource center. Advanced motor control seeks to precisely regulate a motor's speed, ...

All basic motor control functions, as well as motion control and PLC features, are embedded onto the drive. Designed for applications in which space is critical, the iPOS3602 MX can be integrated ...
