The first in a new family of low cost, digital brushless motor
controllers, the DEC Module is a compact and powerful plug-in module
incorporating all the elements necessary to drive a sensored brushless dc motor
up to 48W. Measuring just 0.95 x 0.80
inch the DEC Module can be conveniently mounted onto any printed circuit board
either by socket terminal strips or by soldering directly onto a printed
circuit board. A complementary
evaluation board is available to facilitate the initial evaluation
process. The DEC 24/2 plug-in module was
designed to eliminate the step of developing a brushless motor controller from
scratch. The proprietary firmware can be
tailored to address a wide variety of applications. The DEC Module 24/2
provides a low cost, easy to integrate, pre-packaged brushless motor control
solution. The standard 0.100 pitch
pinout makes it easy to integrate into any printed circuit board design. More specific, mechanical designers can
quickly get their brushless motor up and running without having to design or
develop their own controller. There are
a variety utilities and I/O functions, inclusive of set speed values (500 -
80,000 rpm), direction, enable and status. There is also a wide range of
protection features built in; over current, under current, over voltage, under
voltage, thermal overload, current limits, invalid hall sensor and locked rotor
protection to name just a few.
Essentially, the DEC module provides a seamless brushless motor control
solution. A designer can go directly
from the evaluation stage to production by simply laying out their printed
circuit board accordingly; thereby bypassing the electronic control development
step. Currently there is no control product like the DEC Module 24/2 on the
market to compare it to - this concept is unique. The DEC Module 24/2, and all its I/O and
protection features can be initially evaluated with a complementary evaluation
board. The designer can then chose which
features are desirable for his application and tailor the firmware to his
application. The compact footprint, 0.95 x 0.80 inch, conveniently mates
(plug-in) with a standard printed circuit board design via socket terminal
strips or by direct soldering onto a printed circuit board.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
