DMC-500 DC Motor Controller

DMC-500™ DC Motor Controller

  • The DC Motor Controller 500 is a SCR motor speed controller using an embedded micro controller to provide motor speed regulation and torque compensation. The controller can be used to control permanent magnet (PM) or shunt wound field motors up to ¼ hp and is designed to be used with the WSC-1000™ Weld Sequence Controller to control linear DC drive motors for wire feed and or travel speed functions.
  • The DMC-500 provides speed and torque regulation using an optical encoder or phase sampled Back EMF. The embedded controller provides precise motor braking and anti-plugging features to extend motor life. Computer Weld Technology's DMC-500 DC Motor Controller can be used as a stand-alone control, or with the WSC-1000 Thru-Arc System providing motor control functions for DC motors from 1/10 hp to 1/4 hp.
