[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 ...

In this article learn about options for measuring current in motor control applications, the strengths and challenges of these options, and how using precision current measurement can optimize the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The shift from 12-V supply rails to 48-V power systems is pushing power levels under the hood to new highs. But it opens the ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

All basic motor control functions, as well as motion control and PLC features, are embedded onto the drive. Designed for applications in which space is critical, the iPOS3602 MX can be integrated ...

The wide range of electric motors can be a confusing topic even without considering intelligent motor control. This brief overview is for those who think motors are only divided into two categories: ...
