Overview:
This seminar examines a typical motor-control circuit configuration for ac servos and variable frequency drives. A/D converter requirements are broken down into voltage and current sensing, shaft encoder feedback, and velocity inputs. Sensor characteristics, which determine the most appropriate A/D converter selection and circuit configuration within motor control applications, will be discussed.
