Next is the H-bridge, which resembles an H (Figure 2), which is used typically with a brushed DC motor. In addition to run, coast, and break operating modes, it can also reverse a motor. Simplified ...

[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 ...

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 ...

Motors are everywhere—from air conditioners and vacuum cleaners to power tools and industrial equipment. As globalisation and ...

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, ...

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 ...

Bearingless motor technology represents a rapidly evolving domain that integrates electromagnetic torque generation with active magnetic suspension, thereby eliminating the need for conventional ...

Energy conversion efficiency has always played an important role in electronics design, and in the case of electric motors, the conversion takes place twice: first to create the electricity needed to ...

Control systems are exactly what you think they are: systems designed to control something. Perhaps a better way to put it is systems design control the behavior of something. The term “control ...

As electrification reshapes the transportation industry, the use of smaller, denser, and more efficient electronic and electrical (E/E) assemblies is intensifying the need to manage heat stemming from ...
