Register today for a deeper understanding of the concepts of PWM motor control, AC current flow and motor controls from DC drivers.   Gary Smith, DiagNation In this class, we will discuss Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) theory and specifically how it applies to various automotive systems. The class will flow theory to scanner and scope analysis during diagnosis of several recent case studies. What is Pulse Width Modulation and How Does It Work? Concepts and Theory Understand the differences in use and applications of PWM in power, control and Sensing circuits in BMW vehicle platforms. Brief explanation of PWM motor encoding for sensing and motor control applications. Introduction to BMW Valvetronic Motor and DME Driver Analysis, 3-phase Motors Introduction to 3-Phase AC/DC (Non-ground) Fuel Pumps and Controls in 2015+ Vehicles   W ... read more
