A system for controlling a plurality of motors includes: a variable frequency drive (VFD) configured to control at least one property of the motors, the VFD having a current interruption rating that is greater than a continuous current rating of all of the plurality of motors combined; a bus electrically connected to the VFD; and a plurality of protection modules, each protection module including: a motor overload device electrically connected to a particular one of the plurality of motors; and a switching relay in series with the motor overload device, the switching relay configured to connect the protection module to and disconnect the protection module from the bus. A state of the switching relay determines whether the protection module is electrically connected to the bus, the VFD is configured to control the state of the switching relay, and the switching relay has a current interruption rating that is less than the continuous current rating of the particular one of the plurality of motors.

Provided is a smart servo motor capable of allowing communication without using any unique ID and an actuator assembly using such smart servo motors. A main controller 11 is connected to a plurality of smart servo motors 1-1 . . . 1-N via a single communication path 13, where the main controller 11 can communicate with the individual smart servo motors using their unique IDs. Operating a selector of one smart servo motor 1-u permits communication between the smart servo motor 1-u and the main controller 11 with a special ID such as code “255”. With this communication, the main controller 11 can retrieve the unique ID assigned to the smart servo motor 1-u.

A profile learning system for cooperative control of a dual actuator applied to opposite sliding doors may include a first position sensor configured to detect a position of a door that operates in a first direction along a rail; a spindle assembly including a spindle that operates in a second direction with respect to the door to prevent the door from rattling; first and second motors engaged to the door and the spindle assembly and configured to provide driving power to the door and the spindle assembly, respectively; a memory unit configured to store the position of the door; and a control unit configured to adjust an output of the second motor configured for a predetermined time period and to determine learning success or learning failure for complete opening or closing of the door based on the position of the door when a stall state is detected due to a difference in stroke between the first motor and the second motor.

A computer implemented method for operating a wiper system of a sensor enclosure. The wiper system can be configured to receive a camera operating information from one or more cameras. The one or more cameras can be determined to be in an exposure mode based on the camera operating information. A first speed of one or more wipers can be adjusted such that the one or more wipers are not in field of views of the one or more cameras while the one or more cameras are in the exposure mode.

An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration that includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump that is mounted on the single pump trailer. A power distribution trailer distributes the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation voltage level to the single VFD and converts the electric power at a power generation voltage level to a VFD voltage level and controls the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The power distribution trailer converts the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation level to an auxiliary voltage level that is less than the power generation voltage level. The power distribution trailer distributes the electric power at the auxiliary voltage level to the single VFD that controls an operation of the of the auxiliary systems.

A motor drive system includes motor drive control devices supplying first and second powers to first and second coils, respectively. The first motor drive control device includes: a detector communication unit acquiring a mover movement detection value; a position and speed control unit generating a thrust command to cause the movement detection value to follow a time-series movement target value received from an external device; and a current control unit supplying, to the first coils, the first power to cause thrust generated on the mover to follow the thrust command, and generating data on third power to be supplied to the second coils and transmitting the data to the second motor drive control device when the mover moves from the first coil to the second coil. The second motor drive control device supplies the second power calculated using the data on the third power to the second coils.

A plural-fans driving apparatus is provided to drive a first fan and a second fan, and the first fan and the second fan are three-phase fans. The plural-fans driving apparatus includes a controller, a first three-phase motor driver structure, a second three-phase motor driver structure, and a protection and input interface circuit.
