Improve Electric Drive Control and Efficiency with Adaptive Computing

Electric motors are everywhere: in elevators, escalators, robotics drives/actuators, electric vehicles, trains, medical equipment, aerial systems, home appliances (like washing machines and garage door openers), and much more.

Many factories have hundreds of motors powering robotics that drive assembly lines and other equipment. It is estimated that around 70%1 of the total global electrical use by the industrial sector is tied to electric motors and motor-driven systems. If you increase the efficiency of your drives by even just 1%, it can have a significant positive impact on operational expenses and the environment.

Reducing power consumption, mitigating motor noise, avoiding vibration, predicting the right maintenance time and detecting potential failures before they happen, are paramount, and you can employ over-the-air updates for a longer service life with every motor.

Kria™ system-on-modules (SOMs) from AMD play an important role in electric drive control. They can optimize performance, help motors run more efficiently, and provide better scalability and reliability. Adaptive motor control solutions can also enable higher levels of integration, which reduces component count and cost.

In this eBook, you’ll learn about the evolution of electric motors and the performance parameters that can be addressed with motor control. We’ll also introduce you to the concept of motor control and the different ways that it can be implemented. Additionally, we’ll explore the use of motor control techniques for efficient vehicle charging. Finally, we’ll introduce you to some cutting-edge technology from AMD and show you how some of our customers are using this technology for a variety of motor control applications.
