This application note presents the vector control of a 3-phase AC induction motor using the Z8FMC16100 microcontrollers. This document also briefly describes the series of Z8FMC16100 flash ...

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 ...

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 ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

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 ...

BorgWarner. has been granted a patent for a method of motor control using a complex vector flux regulator (CV?R). The method involves receiving a modulation index ...

Another method worth considering in any discussion of motor control isvector control. The detailed formulation of this method to control thetorque and flux in PMSM was originally achieved by Jahns, ...

Direct torque control is a motor-control method for ac drives that accurately regulates motor speed and torque without encoder feedback from the motor shaft. Eliminating encoders can simplify ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

This application note presents the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of a 3-phase AC induction motors. It demonstrates the use of Zilog’s Z16FMC ZNEO! 16-bit microcontroller to implement Vector Control of ...
