Abstract: This research studies the implementation of Proportional-Derivative (PD) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) approaches embedded in an industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to ...

From the moment 4-year-old Cameron first stepped out into Glimmer in Spyro 2, he knew video games were going to play a central role in the rest of his life. Though he never planned to make it the ...

If you were hoping to snag a Steam Controller today, you may be out of luck already. Valve's new PC gamepad went on sale and then promptly sold out in about 30 minutes, though it has been ...

Most other gaming devices are available at a variety of retailers, from Amazon to Walmart. But Valve likes to do things a little differently. And since Gabe and co. have their own (extremely popular) ...

How current-control loops in BLDC motors improve performance and efficiency while protecting against overcurrent conditions. The differences between current-control loops, field-oriented control (FOC) ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...

Proper evaluation of torque margins across the full motion profile prevents stalling and ensures consistent performance under varying load and speed conditions. Mechanical resonance can cause ...

MCCs consolidate electrical components, providing centralized control and protection for multiple motors, which enhances safety and operational efficiency. Key factors in selecting an MCC include ...

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.

Bollinger Motors, a Michigan EV startup, stopped operations. The company made a Class 4 electric truck chassis with a cab–over design. Emails sent by the company’s HR boss show that Bollinger missed ...

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 ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...
