Description
The Hoffman Controls 763-ECM controls the speed of variable speed EC motors using the motor’s built-in tachometer signal. Control can be locally using the LED display and the buttons on the control or it can be done remotely via the Modbus RTU interface. Control of the speed can be manual (open loop) or automatic (closed loop).
In manual mode, a speed index (0-100) is used to set the control signal to the motor. Both the speed index and the motor rpm are visible on the LED display and over the Modbus. In automatic mode, the motor rpm is set directly and the control uses a PI feedback algorithm to drive the motor rpm, as sensed by the tachometer signal, to the set value, independent of loading on the motor.
The control has two outputs that may be used to control the motor: a 0-10VDC output and a PWM output (0-17 volt, 80 Hz). Each output can supply up to 10 mA to drive the motor. A “GO” signal is also provided for motors that require this.
The 763-ECM is available as a PCB in standoff and panel mount configurations.
