DC motors are used extensively in industrial variable speed applications because of most demanding speed-torque characteristics and are simple in controlling aspects. This paper presents a DC motor ...

In my previous article, I described the four most common methods for motor and pump control: input voltage, input voltage pulse-width modulation (PWM), external PWM, and 0–5V DC analog speed input.

The folks over at the [Barkhausen Institut] are doing research into controlling autonomous fleets of RC cars and had been using off the shelf electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to control the car ...

This application note presents BLDC motor control using sensor sinusoidal PWM modulation with Z32F128 microcontroller. It also discusses ways on how to implement sinusoidal PWM modulation and ...

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.

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer many operating attributes in performance and controllability, but they may require a position (rotation) sensor such as an encoder, resolver, or Hall-effect device to ...
