Introduction
The 512C converter is intended for use in an Industrial Environment, it should be mounted
within an enclosure which provides protection to the converter and the user.
The converter should be permanently earthed at the terminals provided.
The 512C converter is suitable for the control of Permanent Magnet and Shunt Wound DC
Motors.
The converters are designed to operate from a single phase ac mains supply in the range of
110Vac to 415Vac at 50 or 60Hz. A simple transformer tap arrangement allows the converter to
be programmed to suit the applied voltage.
The Speed of the DC Motor is controlled using a linear closed loop system with a feedback
signal from either tachogenerator or armature voltage, the feedback source being switch
selectable.
A current loop within the speed loop always ensures that controlled levels of current are applied
to the motor, actual levels being scaleable via programmable switches.
Motor protection is provided by a Stall detection circuit which will remove current from the
motor after approximately 60 seconds.
Converter protection is provided by a Instantaneous Overcurrent trip circuit overriding control
in the event of a Short Circuit.
