In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

Today's motors are increasingly driven via electronic controls, which offer better control of speed, position, and torque, as well as much greater efficiency, rather than via direct connection to ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: With the driver ICs available today, brushed DC motor control is a snap to integrate in building-, home-, and industrial-automation applications. Motors are everywhere, ...

A robotic manipulator is programmable on three or more axes that specify the movements of a robot, either the robotic arms or body. These robotic manipulators are automatically controlled and ...
