The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

A research team led by Professor Kaiji Sato (Robotics and Mechatronics Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology) revealed a method for designing with ease ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Today’s manufacturers routinely demand exacting precision and split-second timing from their high-speed production ...

Microchip’s LX34070 inductive position sensor aims to replace less accurate magnet-based designs for safety-critical EV motor positioning control. The IC provides differential outputs, fast sample ...

The controllers that drive modern motor-powered designs must be set up with accurate motion profiles — including position, velocity, and time targets. However, developing a realistic motion profile ...

The EM 253 is a positioning expansion module for the Simatic S7-200 PLC for precise control of microsteppers and intelligent servo drives. A separate controller independently of the main CPU handles ...

At CES, MPS highlighted how its motor-control ICs can enable smarter, more precise control of brushless DC motors that are multiplying across robotics and other industries.

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...
