As a result, remote control technologies are being widely adopted across various sectors. Among the many components used in ...

Motor control centers (MCCs) were first introduced in 1937 as a way to conserve wall and/or floor space in industrial facilities. Before 1960, wall-mounted motor starters were used even if only a few ...

Renesas Electronics Corp. has claimed the industry’s first RISC-V microcontroller (MCU) that is optimized for advanced motor control systems. The turnkey solution delivers a pre-programmed RISC-V ASSP ...

Called Spin it!, the kit is a single-board low-voltage motor control development platform designed specifically for the firm’s 16bit 78K0R/Ix3 microcontrollers. The controllers include an internal ...

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 ...

Robotic controls started with simplistic direct-current motors. Engineers had limited mobility because they had few feedback mechanisms. Now, neuromorphic chips are entering the field, mimicking the ...

GigaDevice, a leading semiconductor company specializing in Flash memory, 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), sensors, and analog products today officially announced the launch of the GD32M531 series ...

Hitachi has introduced a 32-bit Risc microcontroller which has a processing speed of 65MIPS Dhrystone and offers 256kbyte of embedded full-speed flash memory and 8kbyte of RAM. It features a motor ...

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 ...
