Abstract :
Approaches to motor speed control are reviewed. Universal add-on products that are now available for general industrial speed control applications are described, and their benefits are examined. In particular, it is shown how precision speed regulation and multimotor coordinated control can benefit textile manufacturers in stretch/draw, metering pump, and coating/finishing applications. Ordinary DC, regenerative DC, AC inverters, or clutch controllers can be upgraded to digital precision. Host computer interfacing and sensor technology are also covered
