MDDS30
5. POWER SUPPLY
SmartDriveDuo-30 supports battery with input voltage ranges from 7V to 35V. The
recommended power sources are:
●
6 – 18 cells NiMH or NiCd battery.
●
3 – 6 cells LiPo or Li-Ion battery.
●
7V – 35V sealed lead acid battery.
●
7V – 35V power supply.
MUST BE IN PARALLEL WITH A BATTERY WITH SAME VOLTAGE
The power source can be connected to SmartDriveDuo-30 either via the terminal block, or
soldered directly to the pad at the bottom layer.
THERE IS NO POLARITY PROTECTION ON
MDDS30, PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THE CONNECTION BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE
BATTERY.
NOTE
If a power supply that cannot sink current is being used (example: bench top and AC to DC
switching power supply), the input voltage will rise when the driver is regenerating (motor
is slowing down, or being pushed by external force). Thus, it is important to connect a
battery with same voltage in parallel with the power supply to absorb the current
generated by the motor. Else, the input voltage might rise to a level where
SmartDriveDuo-30 can’t handle and it will be destroyed permanently or the power supply
trigger protection mode.
