The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Servo motor sizing is the process of selecting the best motor for a servo application. Misconceptions engineers can fall into when selecting a motor include: sizing based on the horsepower rating of ...

The project utilizes the tiny 8-pin PIC12C671 to build a simple serial servo controller chips. Using a dedicated servo motor control IC provides several advantages and is less expensive than buying ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...
