This application note presents the vector control of a 3-phase AC induction motor using the Z8FMC16100 microcontrollers. This document also briefly describes the series of Z8FMC16100 flash ...

This application note discusses the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of 3-phase AC induction motors. Field Oriented Control is also referred to as Space Vector Control. Vector control provides efficient ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Take a look at a modern motor controller and one of the first things you'll notice is that the control circuit is about ...
