OLogic Case Study
OLogic uses PMD products to build flexible, high-performance robotic systems that easily scale from early prototypes to high-volume production. Featured in Design World magazine, this case study highlights how PMD helps solve motor control challenges, precise current management, safe energy handling, and more.
ION/CME N-Series Drive Applications Summary
In this applications summary, we break down how the ION/CME N-Series Drive supports BLDC, DC Brush, and step motors across a wide range of control modes, from standalone axes to networked multi-axis systems. These applications demonstrate how the N-Series adapts to different machine designs and performance requirements.

PID Loop Tuning Made Easy
This practical article featured in Design World Magazine's Motion Control Tips details a straightforward method for tuning proportional, integral, and derivative gains using real response data. It's a useful reference for engineers looking to better understand and refine basic PID loop behavior.
