EM-185 DC-MOTOR SPEED REGULATOR

12/24Vdc 3A
FEATURES:
1-quadrant
Panel mountable
Small size
Motor size 5-80W
Good speed regulation
Load comp. adjustable RxI
Adjustable current limit
EMC tested (CE marked)
Overload and short-circuit protected

EM-185 is a PWM-based DC-motor driver. The materials and features meet the industrial
environment requirements. The device is CE marked and has been tested through EMC
measurements required by industrial environment. Motor voltage is regulated against supply voltage
changes, and there is also a load compensation (RxI) adjustment. Thanks to these features EM-185
offers good performance in motor speed control applications. The current limit and the rpm range
are adjustable with trimmer potentiometers. The power stage of the device is protected against
short-circuit and overload (over temp.). EM-185 is easy to mount in a 10mm hole in an assembly
panel.

EM-185 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Supply should be filtered 10-35Vdc,

max. ripple <20% on full load.
Current limit (I-lim) limits the motor current, in other
words the motor torque. This adjustment is set
according to the motor nominal current or within
application.
RxI is always set to minimum in the beginning.
After this set a motor rpm of 20-30%, slowly
increase the compensation and try loading the
motor simultaneously. When motor rpm is no
longer affected by the loading, the compensation
adjustment is in balance. If motor starts to twitch or
accelerate when loading is applied, there is too
much compensation.
