Allen-Bradley motor controller adds integrated safety
Manufacturers can now install more of their control hardware on machines instead of in cabinets to simplify their production environments. The new Allen-Bradley ArmorStart ST distributed motor controllers with integrated safety can be mounted directly on a machine, allowing users to implement functional safety with fewer components. The ArmorStart ST with integrated safety is the […]
Motion controllers: Design from scratch or buy ready-made?
Motion control is similar to chess in that it takes minutes to learn the rules (allowing the creation of very basic indexing systems) but years to master the ability to perform advanced motion control. This article will review the different types of motion controllers currently on the market, and the pros and cons of each […]
