Overview
The Minarik MDPM03-D230-4Q-PCM is a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) that forms the control platform for the MDPM03 series DC motor drive. This DC Motor Control is designed to run brushed DC motors, up to 180VDC. The unit accepts 230VAC input power and delivers 4-quadrant (4Q) reversing control, allowing reverse operation on the fly without any contacts on the motor armature. This PCB is ideal for OEM integration and retrofit applications requiring compact, reliable DC speed and reversing control.
Key Features
