The generation of motors today are increasingly developed through electronic controls which offers better control over speed, position and torque with greater efficiency. The MOSFETs and IGBT are used ...

This webinar is a beginner’s course to help system designers understand the fundamentals of motor control circuitry and common control schemes. This webinar is a beginner’s course to help system ...

This fall, the SMMA Motor & Motion College will offer three motor control courses. Topics to be covered include the Basics of Brushless DC Motors, Basic Motor Theory, Operation and Application, and ...

Electromechanical actuators are mechanical actuators where the control knob or handle has been replaced by an electric motor. The rotary motion of the motor is converted into linear displacement. The ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

For automating machines that require only two to three axes of electric actuators, pulse outputs may be the simplest way to go. Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple ...

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control. Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

TI’s new C2000 real-time MCUs deliver 30% faster computing power and quieter operation in motors for home appliance ...

Texas Instruments has optimised a pair of DSPs for field-oriented motor control in domestic appliances such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers.

Overload devices protect motors, motor control equipment, and motor branch-circuit conductors against excessive heating due to motor overloads and failure to start, but not against overcurrent (e.g., ...
