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 ...

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...

If you’ve browsed the aisles in your local building-supply store recently, you’ve no doubt noticed some big changes in the power-tool and garden-appliance sections. Such products range from drills, ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Field oriented control is a mystery here – Park and Clarke transforms, plus other complicated stuff. Working though an example might clear things up a bit, but where to get a simple one. Enter the ...
