To help designers with these cost and software burdens, Fairchild Semiconductor developed the FCM8531 analog and digital integrated motor controller. The FCM8531 is a tailored configurable solution ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

This application note describes a Freescale motor control tuning solution known as Motor Control Application Tuning (MCAT) tool. MCAT is a graphical tool dedicated to motor control developers and the ...

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are prevalent in industrial applications due to their robust mechanical dynamics and higher efficiency and power density. In PMSM, vector control contains ...

Energy conversion efficiency has always played an important role in electronics design, and in the case of electric motors, the conversion takes place twice: first to create the electricity needed to ...

Designing robots requires precision and flexibility. When creating a humanoid robot system, there are mechanical and electrical considerations that you need to understand before beginning the actual ...

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 ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

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 ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...
