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 ...

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 ...

The ability to control the motors’ speed and rotation is the design key of drones, making the electronic speed control (ESC) module an added value and a fundamental part of a drone. In this article, ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

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 ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

Most industrial facilities include electric motors that require overload relays for protection, control and monitoring purposes. The latest overload relays are often called motor management relays ...
