Testing out motor encoders separately to ensure the encoder is giving out pulses. Typically, encoders have 04 output wires with different color codes. Initially, we need to figure out which wires are ...

Version 2.8 of ATS software diagnoses encoder faults and evaluates the output signals of HEIDENHAIN, EnDat, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Siemens Drive CLIQ, Yaskawa, SSI, 1Vpp, TTL, and 11uApp encoders. May 14, ...

#define EB_r D6 //Encoder pin2 of right motor #define EA_l D10 //Encoder pin1 of left motor #define EB_l D7 //Encoder pin2 of left motor #define en1 D2 //pwm for left motor #define en2 D9 //pwm for ...

We’ve all been to the trade shows where semiconductor vendors are showing their motor control solutions running a motor with a simple flag or disc to show that the motor is actually moving (I’m guilty ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...
