The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

A research team led by Professor Kaiji Sato (Robotics and Mechatronics Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology) revealed a method for designing with ease ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Today’s manufacturers routinely demand exacting precision and split-second timing from their high-speed production ...

What is nano positioning motion control (NPMC) and how did it come to the market? Was it the confluence of two or three technologies that made it possible? Or was it demand from industry that brought ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

The EM 253 is a positioning expansion module for the Simatic S7-200 PLC for precise control of microsteppers and intelligent servo drives. A separate controller independently of the main CPU handles ...
