Any controller used in motors or electrical drives are only to get variable speed or variable torque or to get higher efficiency.

The controller can be anything, it might be micro controller or it can be DSP controller or may be other.

But DSP controller finds some advantages over micro controller.

Both the controllers are Digital controllers only, but DSP controller has inbuilt Analog to Digital converter, inbuilt Digital to analog converter , inbuilt counter and inbuilt pulse generator.

With a micro controller we need to assemble all the above converters, counters and pulse generators externally, so DSP based electrical drives are more popular though the cost is more compared to micro controllers.

What is the purpose of a motor controller?

A motor controller is a device that controls an electric motor. Most motor controllers require a manual and automatic function, forward and reverse rotation, and speed control.


Is scr is necessary for speed control of a motor?

Most motor speed controllers have all the power that goes to the motor go through a SCR (usually a TRIAC). If you remove the SCR from such a system, no power will get to the motor and nothing will move -- the SCR is a necessary, critical part. However, many motor speed controllers -- in particular, most variable-frequency drives (VFD), also called inverter drives, typically use some other component to transfer power to the motor -- usually MOSFETs in low-voltage systems and IGBTs in higher-voltage systems. They don't use any SCRs, and so SCRs are not absolutely necessary for motor speed control.


What is the difference between field current and voltage?

Field Current in a DC Motor is the flow of electrons through the field circuit by a field controller. The flux of the motor, that with the armature current generates torque, is directly proportional to the field current. Field Voltage is the electrical potential energy applied on the field circuit by a field controller. Legacy Field Controllers controlled the field voltage. Using I=V/Z (Z=R+iX) the field current is then indirectly controlled. Due to the heat generated by E=i2 R t in the motor, the resistance R would decrease, increasing the field current and therefore changing the base speed of the motor and disturbing the control. Newer field controllers control the field current eliminating this problem

Motor controllers must be marked with?

Motor controllers must be marked externally with multiple things such as the manufacturer's name or some form of ID, the number of phases, the voltage, the current, the ID of the motor being controlled, current rating or trip setting, and the kW which is the horsepower.

How many controllers can be used at one time with a Playstation 3?

You can connect up to 7 controllers. And if people want to use the PlayStation Move while playing, (using 2 controllers) you can have 3 people using it, and have 1 person using the original controller, or 2 people using PlayStation Move and 2 people using original controllers, and etc.
