    Upgrading RSLogix

    We have 7.3 running under Windows 7. You need to run it in compatability mode and run rslinx not as a service but as a application

    Simple Fan Speed Controller

    You could try a household light dimmer. I have used them before to slow down small motors.

    Ac motor torque

    Thanks for the reply. I understand it better now. Basically I gather that to increase the torque of an induction motor you have to alter the v/hz ratio. Obviously there are limits but this is what vector control does also.

    Ac motor torque

    I have a question about the torque of an A.C. Induction motor. Would changing the v/hz ratio or running it in vector control actually give the motor more locked rotor torque than an across the line starter. I am trying to get a better understanding of the v/hz ratio effect on a motor. Thanks in...
