Operating Instructions
The DEC (Digital EC Controller) is a 1-quadrant amplifier for controlling electronically commutated (brushless)
DC motors.
• Digital speed control
• Maximum speed: 120 000 rpm (motor with 1 pole pair)
• Operates as speed control, current control or open loop
speed control
• /Brake, direction and /disable input
• AUX connection: adjustable function
(+5 V output or input for changing speed)
• Status indicator with red and green LED
• Set value input through built-in potentiometer (several
speed ranges can be selected) or through
analogue set value input (0 ... +5 V)
• Maximum current limit adjustable
• Gain can be adjusted in two stages
• Adjustable speed ramp
• Protection against heat overload
• Blockage protection (current limit for blocked motor)
• Plug-in terminal clamp

  • Page 9 Operating Instructions 1-Q-EC Amplifier DEC 50/5 5.1.3 “Direction” When the level changes, the motor slows down in an uncontrolled fashion (as windings are short-circuited, see also chapter 5.1.5, “/Brake” function) and accelerates in the opposite direction, until the nominal speed is reached again.
  • Page 10 1-Q-EC Amplifier DEC 50/5 Operating Instructions 5.1.5 “/Brake” function If the input is not wired or the applied voltage is greater than 2.4 V, the /brake function is deactivated. If the input is placed at Gnd-potential or the applied voltage is lower than 0.8 V, the /brake function is activated and the motor shaft slows down to a halt, short- circuiting the motor windings.
