Drive systems can be easily implemented with cost-effective DC/BLDC motor controllers. Since 2015, with the introduction of the Universal Motor Controllers UMC 300 (DC) and BMC 300H (BLDC), motor controllers for motor currents up to 10 A in continuous operation have been available. The available digital inputs, various signal outputs, and, last but not least, the optional CANOpen connection provide various options for solving control tasks easily and cost-effectively.
Additional hardware components can also be offered and manufactured for specific projects. The example shows an LED display that can be plugged separately onto the existing post connector and the additional heat sink for cooling the rectifier.
For applications with smaller motors, the UMC 51 motor controller is also available; it is capable of operating DC or BLDC motors with continuous currents of 2.5 A (5 A peak). Due to the size of only 43 x 50 mm, analog connections are limited, but almost all functions of the larger series are also available via the CANOpen interface.
