Electrical motor control sits at the intersection of more engineering disciplines than almost any other industrial subject: electromagnetics, power electronics, control theory, embedded firmware, industrial networking, electrical code compliance, and machinery functional safety all meet at the point where a motor actually turns a load.
An engineer or technician working on a real motor-control system has to move fluidly between all of these worlds: understanding why an induction motor slips, how a variable frequency drive generates its output waveform, how a servo loop is tuned for bandwidth and phase margin, how that control law becomes embedded firmware, how the system is wired into a PLC and an industrial network, how the branch circuit is protected under the applicable electrical code, and what functional-safety architecture the machine needs. Piecing this together from a shelf of narrow, single-topic books is slow, and the gaps between those books are exactly where costly mistakes happen.
This handbook was developed as a single, structured reference spanning that entire stack, from electromagnetic first principles through every major motor and drive technology, into the control loops, embedded firmware, PLC logic, and industrial networks that operate them, and finally into the protection, power-quality, and functional-safety requirements that make an installation compliant. Every stage includes fully worked, checked numerical examples rather than equations presented without application.
Benefits:
- Understand the electromagnetic and control-loop theory behind brushed DC, induction, synchronous, permanent-magnet, brushless DC, and stepper motors, with worked examples throughout.
- Select, size, and tune variable frequency and servo drives using the scalar and vector control mathematics used in industrial practice.
- Follow control theory into implementation, including embedded firmware, PLC motor-sequencing patterns, and industrial network timing.
- Apply branch-circuit protection, overload sizing, harmonic-distortion, and grounding requirements to real installations, with calculations shown in full.
- Work through functional-safety requirements, including performance-level and safety-integrity-level determination and the reliability arithmetic behind a redundant safety function.
- Commission and troubleshoot a system with a structured method, supported by a glossary, a units appendix, and drive-selection worksheets.
Key Topics:
Electromagnetic fundamentals; brushed DC, induction, synchronous, permanent-magnet, brushless DC, and stepper motors; power electronics and pulse-width modulation; scalar and vector variable-frequency-drive control; servo motion control and loop tuning; feedback sensors; embedded firmware; PLC programming; industrial networking; motor protection and power quality; and functional safety, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
This handbook is written for practicing electrical, controls, and mechatronics engineers who specify or support motor-driven equipment; industrial automation and drives specialists; senior maintenance technicians and electricians advancing into automation roles; engineering technology students and instructors; and safety and compliance engineers responsible for machinery functional safety. It assumes a working knowledge of basic circuit theory and is not an introductory book for a reader with no electrical background.
If the gaps between separate motor, drive, PLC, and safety references have cost you time or introduced risk into your work, this handbook was built to close them. Add it to your library and start working through the complete motor-control stack with the calculations shown at every step.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
We ship your order after we received them
for articles on hand latest 24 hours,
for articles with overnight supply latest 48 hours.
In case we need to order an article from our supplier our dispatch time depends on the reception date of the articles, but the articles will be shipped on the same day.
Our goal is to send the ordered articles in the fastest, but also most efficient and secure way to our customers.
