ABSTRACT:
A digital motor control system utilizes time duration electric pulses generated by digital logic to control the motor speed and direction of rotation of a D.C. or A.C. motor. The digital logic produces width modulated pulses that can be connected to large or small electric motors by mechanical or electrical relays or switches to provide efficient motor control with little control circuit power loss. The mechanical or electrical switches are responsive to the digital logic to change motor direction or remove power from the motor windings. A variable control element such as a computer joystick can be utilized to control both direction and speed of the motor. The system can be configured as an open loop system or as a closed loop servo with a feed back element to control the rotational position of the motor.
