Not missing a beat: Here we take a look at why open-loop steppers lose steps, as well as some solutions to the problem. As in the below) half-stepping produces eight steps per electrical rotation — ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

Industrial applications comprise a wide variety of tasks, each with its own motor specifications. Selecting the proper motor type and how to control its operation is crucial for maximizing performance ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
