Power output and inputs

  • The motor output (pins 5 and 8) has an integrated protective circuit for inductive loads, wire fault diagnostics and short circuit diagnostics.
  • Switching voltage is 6…32 V and the PWM frequency is max. 25.5 kHz.
  • The inputs on pins 1 and 3 can be programmed as analog or digital inputs; resolution is 12 bit and the standard variant’s voltage input is 0…11.4 V.

Housing and protection

According to the datasheet the module has a waterproof potted plastic housing (PA66 GF30) with 6.3 mm and 2.8 mm FASTON terminals and weighs 61 g. IP6K8 applies without potentiometer and with the correct mounting position; otherwise it is IP40/IP20 (without/with potentiometer).

Processor and versions

The datasheet names the processor as Freescale S08DZ60: 8 MHz clock, 60 K flash, 4 K RAM and 2 K EEPROM. In the order table, version 1.117P.300.00 is the CANopen (CiA401) one.

For more motors

If a single motor output is not enough, see the MRS Motor Controller 3CH 10 A, which drives up to three DC motors via full bridges or up to six via half-bridges. For other products: MRS Electronic, Control units.
