DC Drive Controller; 24 VDC; 5 A

This module is a single‐channel, intelligent positioning controller for 24 VDC motors up to 5 A with incremental position feedback. Three 24 V inputs record the limit switches and a preset signal. An incremental encoder interface evaluates signals from the position sensor and determines the actual value. Where required, positioning optimizes the initial switching position as a function of direction, taking into account compensation for gearing backlash. Bidirectional control of the DC motor is implemented via a short-circuit-proof, temperature-monitored H-bridge. Both switched operation and soft start/stop or current reduction are possible via PWM control. The field-side 24 V supply voltage from the power contacts, which is monitored for undervoltage/overvoltage events, is looped through to adjacent modules. The module can also be used as: a dedicated incremental encoder or as a switch and power controller (PWM).
