For any designs that deal with large motors, isolation is a desired characteristic for both control and sense loops. Turn on, turn off, changes in load, changes in power, and unexpected events can ...

Enhancements to Posital’s programmable encoders have made it simpler to configure wheel-equipped encoders to meet user requirements. Wheel-encoder assemblies measure speed and position directly from a ...

It's just that their speed varies least from no load to full load of all ac-induction motors. Other induction-motor types don't even come close to matching the speed regulation of these motors. Yet, ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

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 ...

Here is a motor speed sensor module, the major goal is to check the rate of an electric motor. The module can be used in association with a microcontroller for motor speed detection, pulse count, ...
