How to do instantaneous mode switching with servo motors

December 21, 2023 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

control loop

Instantaneous mode switching can help smooth transitions between different servo motor control modes in complex motion applications. Charan Bhamra Mechatronics Engineer EZ Motion In closed-loop servo control systems, there are three essential control modes; torque, speed, and position. Each of these parameters can be individually controlled depending on the application. While a single control mode […]

Microchip AVR EB microcontrollers reduce vibration in BLDC applications

December 12, 2023 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

As electronic devices evolve, more motors are being used across consumer, automotive and industrial markets. Many designers select Brushless DC (BLDC) motors to increase device longevity and lessen Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH). Historically, getting these benefits necessitated sophisticated control algorithms and waveforms outside the capability of cost-optimized controllers. Microchip Technology has launched its AVR […]
