- Barry FriedmanHere are some simple tips for servo systems that may improve productivity and prevent costly downtime. To help engineers and design teams get all the performance possible from servo systems, here are some of the more troublesome servo predicaments ...Oct 23, 2023
- Andreas GrünYou use limit switches to switch off a motor if it reaches one of its two end positions. Even if you build a microprocessor-based motor controller, you should switch off a motor with hardware by building a safety interlock. Such a circuit works by ...Sep 19, 2023
- Keith Szolusha Kyle LawrenceMachine vision systems use very short flashes of intense light to produce high speed images used in a wide variety of data processing applications. For instance, fast moving conveyor belts are run through machine vision systems for quick label and ...Jan 28, 2022
- Automation Maxim MAX6512UT125 MAX6665ASA45The two-chip circuit in Figure 1 provides fan control and overtemperature warning and shutdown signals to protect systems from excessive heat. The circuit monitors the temperature of the pc board and the die temperature of a CPU, an FPGA, or ...Apr 20, 2021
- Brian Dipert EDN I've tested (and tore down) several network-controllable power switches of late; Belkin's WeMo and, more recently, TP-Link's HS100, both Wi-Fi based. Then there's GE's (sold under license by Jasco) Avi-on line. ...Feb 22, 2018
- Zach Arnold Machine Design Process complexity and potential scalability requirements are key factors in determining the right controls for your application Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs) are ...Sep 5, 2017
- Bonnie BakerA low-pass filter is the most common filter found in data acquisition systems. Typically this type of filter is used to reduce analog-to-digital converter (ADC) aliasing errors and noise outside the signal bandwidth. A signal path requires this ...Jan 13, 2015
- This article looks at the role of Microcontrollers (MCUs) in industrial automation, specifically examining how they provide the real-world interface to sensors and actuators. It discusses the need for integrating high-performance cores like ...Jul 30, 2013
- Microcontrollers Automation ARM Cortex-M3A new generation of 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers is driving down the power consumption of devices and opening up new opportunities in smart control systems. The ARM Cortex-M3 processor is a good example of one of the latest generation of ...Jun 13, 2012
