Description
The drive controller DC RS alpha is placed on a circuit board without housing.
The circuit board can be installed either directly on appropriate spacing bolts
using four mounting holes or on a DIN rail with an additional DIN rail adapter
(reference number 250 01 37x).
The drive controller DC RS
alpha is designed for controlling of DC-motors. It
contains a freely programmable mini-PLC with 5 inputs. It is also possible to
control the inputs by an external PLC.
The 5 inputs can be used as follows (all inputs can be driven with +24 V):
• 4 inputs for connection of floating contacts (e.g. for key switches, limit
switches, light barriers).
• 1 input for connection of a floating contact (e.g. for key switch, limit switch,
light barrier) which can also be used as counter input up to 1 kHz for
positioning.
The output for connecting the DC-motor is controlled by the integrated PLC and
a power output stage is used to increase the current. The power output stage,
consisting of a reversion relay and a power-FET, controls the connected DC-
motor with the functions stop, counter-clockwise rotation, clockwise rotation and
quick stop. The power output stage is protected against short-circuit and excess
temperature. If the set maximum motor current is exceeded or a short-circuit
occurs the output is switched off.
