Motor control ICs deliver higher efficiency, along with AI/ML functionality for improvements in predictive maintenance.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

Today, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), unveils a free, interactive online simulation tool that enables motor designers to assess TI's InstaSPIN-field-oriented-control (FOC) technology. This ...

Hilscher has expanded support for its netX 90 multiprotocol communication processor, now also including the CiA 402 drive ...
