Compact DC motor drives for any application
The EM-241 drive has been designed for the control of low voltage (12-48Vdc) brushed DC motors or actuators where fine control is required. In a compact 42x72x25mm package, it can provide up to 15A of continuous current. DIN rail kits are available for mounting inside a control panel.
With up to 20 settable parameters via the EM-236 plug in module or EM268 USB connection with Ementool PC software, the drive is a cost effective solution for many applications.
Control is given through PNP or NPN switching with 0-5V analogue control for speed setting. The SPF (digital) and SAF (analogue) can be used for positioning applications when a digital hall sensor, encoder or an analogue potentiometer are used for reference and feedback.
Standard functions include:
- Four quadrant – speed, direction, acceleration and brake control
- Adjustable current limit – for motor protection against overload and over torque
- Fault output and on board LED – to identify fault conditions
- Auto-reverse – for anti-trap upon over current detection
- End of travel detection – end limit switch inputs or settable pulse counts (PLI version)
