Motor school training courses in Auburn, AL (public, in-house or online)

This course covers key factors in electric motor design and operations; how to size a motor for your needs; how to analyze electric motor steady state and dynamic performance; and practical methods to improve performance and save operating costs. Of particular value to design engineers as well as plant operations and maintenance professionals.

This webseminar is the second part in the “Stepper Motor�series. Full and half stepping algorithms are discussed. Anti-resonance is described along with cause and solution using alternate stepping modes. Drive circuits are introduced using a simple H-bridge design along with recommendations for switching mechanisms.

This web seminar explains a sensorless Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor control algorithm, implemented using the dsPIC® digital signal controller (DSC). The algorithm works by the use of a majority function for digitally filtering the back-Electromotive Force (BEMF). Each phase of the motor is filtered to determine when to commutate the motor drive voltages. This control technique excludes the need for discrete, low-pass filtering hardware and off-chip comparators.

This web seminar on brushed DC motor basics is part 1 of a four part series of web seminars that will go into motor control drive topologies, pulse width modulation ( PWM ), and the new enhanced PWM. Brushed DC Motor Basics will go from the basic parts of a brushed DC motor and how they work to how do they compare to other types of motors.

This seminar provides a brief overview of the hardware architecture used to control stepper motors with a description of decay modes and the key differences between each mode. The principles of Microstepping and control loops will also be covered.
