Washing controls have used power inverters to control motor speeds for years. Variable-speed control enables a significant simplification of the mechanical system by replacing a clutch and gearbox ...
Texas Instruments attacks motor control with its InstaSpin hardware/software combination. InstaSpin delivers sensorless, field-oriented-control (FOC) using a self profiling motor approach. There are ...
Texas Instruments has announced its C2000 InstaSPIN-FOC LaunchPad and associated DRV8301 motor drive BoosterPack plug-in module — enabling designers to evaluate sophisticated sensorless motor control ...
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced MotorXpert™ v3.0, a software ...
Designers of motion control applications are under pressure to optimize performance and efficiency while keeping component count and space to an absolute minimum. The ideal situation is sensorless ...
STMicroelectronics has released the STM32 ZeST (Zero Speed Full Torque) software algorithm, designed to run on STM32 microcontrollers, that lets sensorless motor drives produce full torque at zero ...
An integrated VFD with sensorless control has been added to Series 80™ & 80-SC™ in-line pumps. According to the manufacturer, the variable-speed drive sensorless controller utilizes the latest ...
Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...
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 ...
