Most industrial facilities include electric motors that require overload relays for protection, control and monitoring purposes. The latest overload relays are often called motor management relays ...

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control. Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive ...

Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

Safety is a major concern in a good many motor-driven applications. This is true in industrial applications where motion starts when power is applied and especially true when power is restored after ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

Read part 1 of this series on construction and operating principles here. Having understood the construction and basic operating principle of BLDC motor in the first part of this article, it becomes ...

As part of our research for the February 2011 feature story, “Control Vendors Put More in the Box,” Automation World posed a handful of questions via e-mail to vendors of integrated logic and motion ...
