Oversampling >

"Oversampling" means reading important analog values twice with calculating an average value afterwards. This process was already realized in the S300 Drive.

Notch filter >

A Notch Filter is a frequence lock filter or frequence trap to eliminate frequences within a small frequence range. A notch is placed in the frequency band. These notch filters have high quality factor (Q factor). In music…

Bode Diagram >

General The  Bode Diagram (according to Hendrik Wade Bode) is a special funcion's graph consisting of one graph for the amount (the gain of the amplitude), and of one for the argument (the phase shift) of a complex transfer function. Bode…

Four Quadrant Operation >

A servo system capable of controlling velocity and torque in both positive and negative directions is known as having "four-quadrant" operation (see diagram below). Operation in quadrants 1 and 3 is defined as "Motoring," meaning that speed and…

Temperature Rating >

The temperature rating of material is another item typically determined by the environment. Each material type has its own limitations for operating temperature range. The actual rating is defined as the allowable conductor temperature the insulation…

Insulation Material >

Insulation material typically depends upon the application. For example, environmental conditions such as temperature, chemical exposure, and abrasion/tear resistance should all be considered when choosing an insulation material.

GrayCode >

The Gray Code (named after the physician Frank Gray) is a symmetrical procedure to generate a code, where neighbor numbers differ in one bit only. This reduces the maximum possible error when transferring an analog signal to a digital code. Usually…
