Module offers low cost solution for solenoid control

Offered as a low cost solution for solenoid control electronics, the PH-ET "Pick & Hold" module has been introduced by Optimal Engineering Systems (OES). Based on a micro-controller, the module can be easily integrated and reprogrammed for new and existing applications.

Measuring 3.00" x 3.00" x .85", the reliable module is suited for driving: Solenoids, valves, relays, actuators, DC motors including voice coil and moving magnet linear motors, hydraulics, electromagnets, and LEDs. These off-the-Shelf PWM "Pick & Hold" modules operate on a single supply voltage from +9 VDC to +50 VDC.  "Holding" current is 4 Amps RMS with a peak or "Pick" current of 15 Amps for high force and/or acceleration. Higher current and voltages are also available.

Used with an SCC-01 Solenoid Controller Card from OES up to 16 "Pick & Hold" PWM Modules can be controlled.  In each unit a Snubber Diode is incorporated to suppress voltage spikes.  PH-ET "Pick & Hold" modules accepts a TTL command voltage of 0 to 3 VDC, or 4 to 20  mAmps signals. The pick voltage timing and hold voltage are easily adjusted using onboard potentiometers, and these modules are Eco-Friendly, RoHS compliant.
