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 ...

Variable speed drives that drive three phase motors are ubiquitous components of industrial machines that help save energy and optimize systems. Traditional scalar control techniques for variable ...

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 ...

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

If you’ve browsed the aisles in your local building-supply store recently, you’ve no doubt noticed some big changes in the power-tool and garden-appliance sections. Such products range from drills, ...

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, ...

Step motor control offers a powerful alternative in the right applications. Step motors are popular first and foremost because they are easy to use. They do not require an encoder to maintain their ...

Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...

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 ...
