Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...

Based on MotionChip DSP Control Technology, the IBL2401 compact intelligent minidrive embeds motion controller, drive, and PLC functionality to control brushless, step, dc, or linear motors up to 25 W ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

How RISC-V fits into motor-control tasks. What types of tools are available for development? RISC-V is a topic that garners lots of interest, but RISC-V itself is nothing more than a scalable, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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., ...
