The circuit in this Idea for Design provides three levels of speed control for a dc motor using a PC’s parallel port (LPT1). A C++ program performs the control functions by allowing the signals from ...

Maxon Precision Motor's ESCON 50/5 OEM module is a 4 quadrant Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) servo motor controller that can efficiently control permanent magnet brushed DC motors (PMDC motors) and ...

Matching drive to motor is essential to gain the best combination of torque, speed, and efficiency. Selecting the right drive is essential to getting the best performance and efficiency from an ...

To successfully integrate the drive into the system, the controller must provide full functionality for motor control. The more functions the drive itself can implement, the fewer add-ons and ...

The precise meaning of the term ‘servo’ in the context of motors and drives is difficult to pin down. Broadly speaking, if a drive incorporates ‘servo’ in its description, the implication is that it ...
