DC motors used to be a staple of stage automation. Although their popularity has waned over the years as
quieter AC induction motors and VFD’s have become more economical and provide a better solution in manner
situations. However, there is still a lot of DC equipment with a useful life left and using a Mini

to breathe new
life into old equipment can be a great way to expand your automation capacity. The hookup is similar to a VFD,
with the addition of a signal isolator card which protects the Mini
2
from dangerous voltage levels.
