Dart Control® MD Plus Series Digital SCR Drive

A microprocessor-based closed loop DC SCR drive offering an integrated, programmable digital display. Originally developed for the conveyor pizza oven, MicroDrives have found broad applications across many industries. A start/stop or applications requiring rapid drive response time. The programmable display makes machine operation for the end user easier, providing drive speed information in meaningful engineering units (GPM, FPM, MM:SS, % of Master, etc.). The MD plus offers the additional benefit of a velocity loop PID control algorithm, and options for 4-20mA process signal follower and industrial protocol serial communication. The MD Plus can be configured in three modes - rate, time and follower. Follower mode allows for two or more motors to operate at speeds in proportion to each other - a common need in blending, batch and synchronized material feed and handling applications. Suitable for wash-down applications, sensor PPR/application dependent.
