Digital Drive Accessory Team

Similar to the Digital DC drives, Dart Controls is the exclusive
provider of Digital Drive Accessories to the market.

A Digital Drive Accessory is a Digital Speed Pot, either open or
closed loop, that can be used with any type, brand or technology
drive that accepts a 3-wire speed pot input to change the
motor speed. They include the programmable digital display,
logic and alarm function and all other features of the Dart
MicroDrives, less the drive.

The closed loop versions of these products are the ASP Series.
The ASP comes in two styles depending on the application - the
ASP10 (for continuous applications) and the ASP40 (for start/
stop or applications requiring rapid drive response time). The
open loop version is the DP4.

ASP10

The programmable display is of particular value to the machine/
process operator, providing drive speed information in
meaningful engineering units (GPM, FPM, MM:SS, % of
Master, etc.)

Both the ASP Series and the DP4 come in panel mount designs.

Each may be congured in three modes - Rate, Time and

Follower. Follower mode allows for two or more motors to
operate at speeds in proportion to each other - a common need
in blending, batch and synchronized material feed and handling
applications. Many times the logic controller functionality built
into the MicroDrive can eliminate the need for a PLC and its
custom programming.

The ASP40 offers the additional benet of a velocity loop PID

control algorithm, and options for 4-20mA process signal follower
and industrial protocol serial communication. Development will
continue on the ASP40 to offer additional serial communication
protocols, additional program management tools and a Graphic

User Interface (GUI) for both conguration and control.
