Regardless of their primary field, sooner or later, most designers have to deal with motor controls. Broadly speaking, there are two methods to incorporating these components in your design. First, ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

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 ...

Both software and hardware are parts of all motor control systems such as IGBTs, WBG semiconductors and MCUs. Industry 4.0 strongly relies on motor control for its development but energy consumption ...

Designers of motion control applications are under pressure to optimize performance and efficiency while keeping component count and space to an absolute minimum. The ideal situation is sensorless ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
