Faster braking enabled through low-voltage motor control

A low voltage motor control with single phase AC line source, the DCH403-10, has been announced by American Control Electronics (ACE). The DCH403-10combines a custom regen-capable switching power supply with a low voltage drive to allow control over low voltage motors without the negative effects of current spikes or the large BUS voltage associated with typical 115/230VAC controls.

Additionally, the unit’s built-in circuitry diverts regenerative current to a dump resistor, allowing for quicker braking than most PWM drives. The DCH series is ideal for applications including solar-powered devices, mobile equipment and actuator control.

Features of the DCH403-10 Motor Control include:

  • 4-Quadrant drive.
  • N.O. an N.C. contacts for alarm output.
  • Contact can be used to power an external brake coil.
  • Torque mode functionality.
  • Capable of auto-cycling with limit switches.
  • Resistive feedback for positioning control.
  • Allows floating or grounded 0- ±5VDC, 0- ±10VDC or 4–20mA signals.
