DESCRIPTION:

The MODEL 110 MOTOR CONTROL is a half wave (four quadrant) regenerative unit that controls the speed and direction of shunt wound or PM motors with outputs ranging up to 1/8 HP.

These controls are designed to be easily interfaced to low level analog circuitry. Analog input signals are opto-isolated from the motor and power line circuits with a minimum isolation voltage of 1500 VDC. This eliminates crosstalk, ground loops, and other noise problems.

The Model 110’s isolated analog front end circuitry obtains its DC operating power directly from the user’s system. Any available voltage within the range of 4.5 VDC to 18 VDC may be used. Current drain is 10 mA at 5 VDC and 25 mA at 15 VDC.

Motor output speed is in ratio proportion to the front end supply voltage, with zero motor speed obtained when the analog input is 50% of the front end supply voltage. Full speed CW is obtained when the input is at 70% of supply voltage and full speed CCW is obtained when the analog input is at 30% of supply voltage. For example, with a 5 VDC front end supply voltage, zero motor speed is obtained at 2.5 VDC input, full speed CCW is at 1.5 VDC input and full speed CW is at 3.5 VDC input. With a 15 VDC front end supply voltage, zero motor speed is at 7.5 VDC input, full speed CCW is at 4.5 VDC input. and full speed CW is at 10.5 VDC input. A failsafe circuit de-energizes the motor if control power is not present.

The Model 110 operates from a nominal 115 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source, and drives DC motors with 90 VDC rated armatures. A field circuit can provide either 50 VDC or 100 VDC for shunt wound fields.

The units are of open frame construction. Connections to the digital inputs may be made via a standard insulation displacement ribbon connector, or by solder eyelets. Connections to the motor and power line may use a plug-in screw terminal barrier strip, or solder eyelets.
