Technology has come a long way since the invention of the wheel in 3,500 B.C. Technological advancements have allowed humans to live and work more conveniently and more efficiently. With hundreds of thousands of technological breakthroughs throughout history, some of the most important everyday technologies have gotten lost in the shuffle and people have become unaware of their importance over time. Unbeknownst to most people, parts such as servo motors play a huge role in making people's lives easier every day. Small technological pieces such as servo motors are heavily used daily in devices you least expect.

The traditional method of starting an AC induction motor "across the line" results in full voltage, current, and torque being applied immediately when the motor is started, and likewise, being removed immediately when the motor is stopped. While this is the most simple starting method, the high inrush current (often 6 to 7 times the motor's rated current) and peak starting torque can damage the motor, driven equipment, and product. Across the line starting also causes high peak power demand, which can trigger peak demand fees from the utility company. A soft starter can eliminate these problems by gradually increasing voltage to the motor terminals during startup, providing a controlled ramp-up to full speed. This lowers inrush current and controls starting torque, reducing mechanical shocks to the system and the product.

The Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a device widely used to convert the constant voltage of an autonomous AC power source into a variable voltage for controlling the torque and speed of the motor. They are ideal for motors that drive loads on mechanical equipment. A VFD offers higher efficiency than simple inline motors, as well as a degree of control not available with simple drive motors. These factors can save energy costs, improve production performance and extend motor life.

Simultaneously with the first complex electronic circuits, the task of creating effective means of diagnosing and repairing them appeared. In previous decades, specialized programmable stands were used for diagnostics of serial electronic products, as well as various testers and probes for troubleshooting during their operation. But the dramatic increase in production in parallel with the very rapid modification of electronic products made programmable stands economically ineffective even in mass production. The use of traditional laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, etc.) requires power supply to the defective modules, which is often impossible and unsafe, since it can lead to failure of the working modules of the module. In addition, the use of this equipment requires documentation and highly qualified personnel. More automated and sophisticated signature analysis systems came to the rescue in solving this problem. A feature of these devices is that they allow you to test digital and analog assemblies without dismantling compo-nents and without supplying voltage.
