Morgan – Family of DC Motor Controllers
Part Number  BE040 (specify member of family)
 
Definition
    The Morgan family is a versatile, robust set of DC motor controllers.  They are designed for traditional brushed DC permanent magnet motors up to 0.63 hp.  They are DSP controlled and use an H-bridge, unlike lower-grade controllers.  They have been designed expressly for high-noise, challenging industrial environments where lower-grade SCR-based controllers routinely fail.  Typically, the Morgans are line powered, but they may also be DC powered if an appropriate source is available (usually in robotic applications).  They may be operated birectionally, and they may be operated in either an open or closed loop mode.  In open loop mode a feedback sensor is not required, and the operator must assure that the motor speed is correct under all loads.  In closed loop mode, a sophisticated PID algorithm assures correct speed and rapid response under load variations.  A Hall sensor and magnet are included standard.  Speed is set either by a panel potentiometer or by a 4-20mA input.  The latter allows for connection to other systems or to a convenient remote operator speed control device.  Such a device is available as an option below.  The Morgan is protected from stall conditions, electrical transients and short circuits.
