The driver  DRIVE 8-16 is used to control the current of the D.C. brushless motors.

This device has been designed and optimized to offer a hight reliability together with a low cost. 

Moreover the simplicity in use makes this driver the best solution for most of the applications in the field of automation.

Advantages:

- low cost;

- high reliability;

- maximum simplicity in use;

- precise, high and dynamic performances of the current control;

- Custom executions for particular requests are available;

- Internal braking resistance with the possibility to fit an external one.

Features:

Control system: PI current control with PWM system

Facilities: operation in four quadrants; I2T current limitation; braking resistance on board; control of motor with 60° or 120° hall sensors.

Protections: over voltage, under voltage, over heating; faults of the auxiliary internal voltage; short circuit between phase and phase and between phase and ground; identification of fault combination of the sensor in the rotating position.

Input signals: device enable; differential input for the current reference from -10 a +10 Volt; hall effect sensor inputs for back action of the rotating position.

Output signals: open-collector drive OK; open-collector I2T intervention, current monitoring.

Indications: n°12 led indicators for status and alarms.

Data: supply: trhee phases 220VAC; power 2,5KW; nominal current 8A, peak current 16A.
