Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource center. Advanced motor control seeks to precisely regulate a motor's speed, ...

The schematic of a PMSM drive using a DTC-based speed loop PDFF controller is shown in Fig. 1. This DTC scheme is implemented in stator flux frame, which requires knowledge of stator flux in ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

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 ...

Sensorless motor control has primarily been applied to applications where the majority of the operating time is at higher electrical frequencies (mechanical speeds). This is due primarily to the fact ...

A new sensor on a pedal-electric bike (pedelec) tracks torque from pedaling and applies supplemental motor power on the fly. A pedal-electric (pedelec) bike uses a special sensor to synchronize power ...

The most common arrangement, which is used with only minor variations from small drives of say 0.5 kW up to the largest industrial drives of several megawatts, is the so-called two-loop control. This ...

I do a lot of new car testing at the racetrack, and the more at-the-limit testing I do, the more I’ve come to realize that “Off” rarely means 100 percent off when it comes to electronic stability ...
