MC8
DC Motor Control Board
8 Channel DC motor control board with 8 absolute encoders and more!
The Ultimate Control Board to get the most out of your project
Features:
This
DC Motor Control Board is to suit all
engineering and
hobby-engineering applications. From advanced
robotics to home automation.
It is the only one of it’s kind on the entire Internet.
Most large-scale
hobby engineering and
robotic projects require at least 4 high current motors, this
DC motor control board controls 8!
Each motor needs an
absolute encoder too with a
limiting device to restrict movement to a settable range of angle.
The current of each motor should be monitored too, to work out the motor forces.
ADC’s are also required to convert real world measurements to digital, so that the control computer can monitor them.
Many digital input ports and output ports are needed so that other digital devices can be plugged in.
This Multi Channel DC Motor Control Board comes with all you will need to get the most out of your project!
- 8 channel 30 A, H-bridge DC Motor controller. That individually controls 8 DC motors with forward,
reverse, speed. Up to a whopping 30 A’s continues. Up to 40V each motor. Controls low current motors just as well,
forward/reverse PWM, Global PWM, ADC current to 8-bit digital for each motor to monitor motor current hard wired into expanded
input port, one revolution rotary encoder with 8-bit digital for each motor to monitor each motor’s position hard wired into
expanded input port.
- Each H-bridge motor controller has position protection “A limiting Device” that uses the absolute encoder
for closed loop position protection. Two pots for each motor can limit each motors position.
There is also a jumper to bypass the Limiting Device for continues revolutions.
- Each H-bridge motor controller has thermal protection and current limiting which makes them almost them almost
indestructible
- 16 channels ADC with 8-bit digital out hard wired into expanded input port. With one extra chip 32 channels are available.
- One 8-bit output port.
- Four 8-bit input ports.
- By using the current measurement feature of the board, the force that the motor is exerted can be calculated because
there is a direct relationship between the current output and the torque that the motor is exerting at its output
- 6-14V DC input with DC connector for IC’s.
- Individual DC power input for each motor to handle large currents
- Suitable for all micro-controllers, PC parallel ports, PLC’s…
- All controlled from either one 8-bit bi-directional port plus 3 control output pins to control what port your using,
or one 8-bit output port and one 8-bit input port plus 3 control output pins to control what port your using.
- All outputs are latched so what you send to whatever output port is remembered.
- 100% parallel to suit all applications including robotics.
- Completely versatile hook-up to suit all your needs.
- Ribbon header connectors for all inputs and output ports
- Size is 220mm * 190mm
- Comes with extensive documentation and schematics on how to use the MC8 DC Motor control Board Step by Step
