DC Digital Motor Drive

Full-wave DC motor control for permanent-magnet motors · 115 Vac in / 0–130 Vdc out · PLC compatible

DC digital motor drive
Board-level drive module
Overview
Built for bi-directional indexing

A full-wave DC motor control for permanent-magnet motors, designed especially for bi-directional indexing applications. Motor response is not subject to the 16 ms AC zero-cross variations associated with SCR and triac drives.

100% solid-state design with optically isolated control inputs, modular connectors for ease of service, and connections for an optional brake resistor and optional forward and reverse speed controls.

  • Directly compatible with PLCs
  • Instant forward / reverse
  • Auto brake when powered, not enabled
  • Free-wheeling when power is off
  • Can operate as a frequency drive
  • On-board or external speed adjustment
