Maxon’s new Escon 2 controller for brushed DC and brushless DC motors up to 1,800W continuous duty features field-oriented control (FOC), acceleration and velocity feed-forward capabilities. This ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

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.

Combining motor control, sensing, and user interfaces to reduce development time and support new system capabilities.

Field-Oriented Control (FOC) is changing how brushless DC (BLDC) motors operate in drones, robotics, and automation. By mathematically controlling torque and magnetic flux alignment, FOC enhances ...

Over on his YouTube channel our hacker [Yuchi] is building an STM32 BLDC motor winding machine. This machine is for winding brushless motors because manual winding is highly labor intensive. The ...

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 ...
