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 ...

Motor control plays an important strategic role in the technological development of Industry 4.0. One key concern in industrial development is energy usage. Electricity consumption is growing ...

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 ...

For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control. Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive ...

The Allen-Bradley Branch motor control components have been revised by Rockwell Automation. According to the company, this move was made to update systems where components are used to turn on and off ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Motor controllers used to power, stop and control the speed of a variety of motors must deal with a wide variety of surges due to switching events.

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 ...

New motor driver ICs focus on ultra-low standby power, flexible H-bridge configurations, and reduced external components to support compact consumer and industrial motor control applications.
