In this paper, the authors focus on designing and controlling an articulated 3-DOF robotic arm using LabVIEW and NImyRIO. Now-a-days, robots have been used in common places of manufacturing and making ...

The flux-oriented control (FOC) is a commonly used technique for three-phase electric motor control application. Here, the applied voltage pattern is defined using the space vector modulation (SVM) ...

This application note presents space vector control or field-oriented control (FOC) using polar coordinates. It is used for controlling 3-phase alternating current induction motors (ACIM). The ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

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 ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...
