form factors. They often utilise RS-485 communication to the encoder to provide accurate position feedback. Analog Devices offer a wide range of RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 transceivers to suit applications for non-isolated interfaces, as well as digital isolation requirements using iCoupler technology.
Conclusion
Figure 2 – Motor system total cost of ownership
36% of global CO2 emissions in 2022.1 Industry consumes
30% of global electricity and within industry, electric motors make up 69% of power consumption.2
Each year more electric
motors are deployed in industrial applications to drive pumps, fans, compressed air systems, material handling, processing systems, and more. The total cost of ownership of a motor driven system over the life of its deployment can be broken down into 3 categories, 70% electricity usage, 5% purchase of the motor and 20% for the maintenance of the motors3 visualised in Figure 2.
, as
It is therefore clear that by utilizing the new generation of higher efficiency motors and motion control assets we can help significantly reduce electricity consumption and CO2 emissions as well as reduce the total cost of ownership of a motor system.
The driving force for intelligent motion Analog Devices have established a reputation for commitment to excellence in motion control solutions. Their dedication to innovation and performance has made them an industry leader for several decades. Their comprehensive range of intelligent motion control products are designed to cater to a wide variety of applications helping industry reduce electricity consumption and CO2
emissions.
A typical intelligent motion control system requires the following elements, all working in harmony.
Power electronics
Isolated gate drivers, such as the MAX2270xx family of ultra-high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) isolated gate drivers, are used to drive high- and low-side power semiconductors to provide robust, safety compliant, and high reliability assets. High voltage inverter applications often use IGBTs, with a future trend toward SiC and GaN to increase switching frequency and/or lower switching losses.
Current feedback
A fundamental building block to enhancing drive performance, it determines the overall control bandwidth and response time. Key requirements for current feedback include synchronized measurement with PWM cycle, isolated or high common-mode measurement, low offset drift to minimize torque ripple, and low latency simultaneous sampling at 14- to 18-bit resolution to

Industrial environments are challenging for data communications because electrical noise and long cable lengths affect the stability and reliability of communications. In addition, motion controllers require higher power density power management solutions operating at high ambient temperatures to enable smaller
measure phase currents. Analog Devices are an industry leader in precision converters and contactless AMR current measurement which address this application.
Position feedback
Position feedback is used for direct position control or for inferring rotational speed and implementing machine speed control. Resolver-to-digital converters (RDCs), optical encoders, and anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) position sensors, such as the ADA4571 integrated AMR angle sensor and signal conditioning IC, provide high bandwidth position feedback data for robust performance.
Machine health
Machine health uses vibration and shock sensors to enable real-time condition monitoring of an asset’s health to eliminate unplanned downtime, extending the asset’s usable lifetime while also reducing maintenance costs. Analog Devices have a wide range of inertial sensing products for condition-based monitoring (CbM) and predictive maintenance solutions, an example of this is their Voyager 3 wireless vibration monitoring platform which showcases these technologies integrated into a convenient plug and play format.
Network connectivity
Industrial Ethernet connectivity with sub-ms cycle times network performance is required for deterministic real-time communication in motion control applications (servos and drives). Robust physical layer devices at 100 Mb and Gb speeds combined with Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNET/IP, and IEEE time sensitive networking (TSN) ensure deterministic Ethernet connectivity. Analog Devices have an extensive portfolio of network connectivity solutions many of which were covered on these pages in September.
In conclusion, a lot of elements are required each working in perfect synchronisation to enable a successful motion control solution, Analog Devices are a pioneer known for their precision, versatility, and commitment to innovation, their products are already at the heart of countless industrial automation processes across various sectors. With the continuous advancement of technology and their unwavering dedication to excellence, they continue to drive progress in the world of motion control, making industries more efficient, sustainable and reliable than ever before making them the partner of choice.
