    Addtional Information:
    Flexible – Reliable – and Affordable. 

    External- The External Control Module (commutation board) simplifies the connection of an external motor drive to the Dynamo motor by providing the user with a standard set of hall signals, numerous encoder options, and a high current connector for the motor phase windings.  The module is compatible with external motor drives using a 10 to 48Vdc power supply.

    The external Control Module provides a standard system for rotor position sensing required by most brushless motor drives.  Three hall devices spaced 120 electrical degrees apart, sense a magnetic disk which is synchronized to the rotor of the motor.  The hall signals can be used to provide inexpensive speed feedback to the motor drive, or for more precise control a wide array of integral, two channel quadrature encoder options are available.  The quadrature nature of an encoder allows the user to determine the direction of motor rotation as well as the speed.

    Analog- The Analog Open Loop Motor Control converts DC input voltage into three phase waveforms.  The control performs 2-quadrant commutation when an analog control signal is supplied.  The control is compatible with 20Vdc to 36Vdc power supplies.  The flexible customer interface allows for the following input signals:

    • Analog (0-5Vdc)
    • Contact Closure for Start/Stop and Fwd/Rev

    Open loop speed control is accomplished by the user supplying a 0-5Vdc analog input or by using the controls 5Vdc output with a potentiometer.  Contact closures (PLC’s or relays) can be substituted for standard switches.  For cost sensitive applications requiring minimal speed feedback a tachometer output can be accessed.  The tachometer output is based on the signals from the hall devices used to commutate the motor.  The tachometer signal is an open collector output with a 1K ohm resistor in series.  The output is 30 pulses per revolution (ppr).  The signal pulses low for 300ns minimum, 600ns typical.

    PWM- The PWM Motor Control converts DC input voltage into three phase waveforms.  The control performs 4-quadrant commutation when a PWM control signal is supplied.  The control is compatible with 20Vdc to 36Vdc power supplies.  The flexible customer interface allows for the following input signals:

    • PWM
    • Contact Closure for Start/Stop

    Open loop speed control is accomplished by the user supplying a logic level PWM input.  Contact closures (PLC’s or relays) can be substituted for standard switches.  For cost sensitive applications requiring minimal speed feedback a tachometer output can be accessed.  The tachometer output is based on the signals from the hall devices used to commutate the motor.  The tachometer signal is an open collector output with a 1K ohm resistor in series.  The output is 30 pulses per revolution (ppr).  The signal pulses low for 300ns minimum, 600ns typical.  For applications requiring more precise control a Hurst encoder can be added internally to the control for true closed loop operation.
