SCR/DC Variable Speed Motor Drives

The controller is designed to be integrated into a drive package selected and wired by the user. As such, it may be necessary to provide either a number of required operator’s controls or equivalent relay contacts.

The control functions are:

  • Speed adjust or torque control potentiometer
  • Start pushbutton switch, or relay contact
  • Stop pushbutton switch, or relay contact
  • Forward/Reverse switch
