The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

There’s something to be said for the feel of controls. Whether it’s the satisfying snap of a high-quality switch or the buttery touch of the pots on an expensive amplifier, the tactile experience of ...

DC servomotors are DC motors that incorporate encoders and are used with controllers for providing feedback and closed-loop control. Specifically, servomotors provide precise motion and position ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has released its first series of small6-channel optical incremental C-shaped encoder modules for brushless DC (BLDC) motors used in industrial automation ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

AC servomotors are AC motors that incorporate encoders are used with controllers for providing feedback and closed-loop control. These motors can be positioned to high accuracy, meaning that they can ...
