The DCH Series includes an industry standard microprocessor used on many of today’s popular PLCs. For OEMs using PLCs simply for the functionality of programming the same code repetitively, ACE can install that code directly on the HTL control, eliminating the need for the PLC entirely. A modified option allows for linear positioning control of actuators to within 1/1000th of commanded stroke length with the use of feedback resistors, for more precision than many positioning applications require at a lower cost than positioning servo systems. Standard variations for the DCH Series include options for torque, cycling, or positioning control.
Summary of key features of the DCH Series Actuator Control:
- Microprocessor Based: Easily programmable for OEMs
- Standard I/O: 1 analog, 4 digital – custom configurations available
- All-in-One Package: Combines a custom regen-capable switching power supply with a low voltage drive True Low Voltage Output: Allows control over low voltage motors without the negative effects of current spikes or a large BUS voltage associated with typical 115/230 VAC SCR and PWM controls
- 4Q Reversing: Delivers the ability to perform quick and contactorless braking and/or reversing-on-the-fly
- Isolated Logic: Allows floating or grounded 0 – 5 or 0 – 10 VDC signals Stopping Modes: Forward and reverse inhibits can be set for N.O. or N.C. to brake to a stop. Can be used for rapid starting and stopping Diagnostic LEDs: Power, Current Limit
