maxon motor control 1-Q-EC Amplifier DEC Module 50/5
Order number 380200
Operating Instructions Edition April 2015
The DEC Module 50/5 (Digital EC Controller) is a small
1-quadrant digital controller for the control of brushless DC motors
(Electronic Commutated motors) up to 250 W.
The used EC motor must be equipped with digital Hall sensors.
Features:
• Digital speed control
operates as «closed loop» or as «open loop» speed controller
• Maximum speed 80 000 rpm (motor with 1 pole pair)
• Set value input through external analogue voltage (0 ... +5 V)
• 3 different speed ranges selectable
• Direction of rotation preset by a digital signal
• The output stage can be enabled or disabled
• Maximum output current limit adjustable up to 10 A
• Motor speed can be monitored with the «Monitor n» output
• Status indication via «Ready»output
• Blockage protection (current limit for blocked motor)
• Protective functions: undervoltage, overvoltage and thermal overload
• Standardized connector strip, pitch 2.54 mm
Thanks to the wide input power supply range of 6...50 VDC (optional 5 VDC operation possible), the DEC Module
50/5 is very versatile and can be used with various power supplies.
A sturdy PI speed controller design is an ideal premise for immediate operation.
The well-priced and miniaturized OEM module seamlessly integrates into applications. Now the customer can
fully focus on developing his/hers own device - while being able to make use of maxon motor‘s vast drive knowhow. For start-up maxon motor offers a comprehensive Evaluation Board.

April 2015 Edition / document number 1094861_PDF_E - 05 / subject to change
1 Safety Instructions
Skilled Personnel
Installation and commissioning of the equipment shall only be performed by
experienced, skilled personnel.
Statutory Regulations
The user must ensure that the amplifier and the components belonging to it
are assembled and connected according to local statutory regulations.
Disconnect Load
For primary operation the motor should be free running, i.e. with load disconnected.
Additional Safety Equipment
Any electronic apparatus is, in principle, not fail-safe. Machines and apparatus must therefore be fitted with independent monitoring and safety equipment. If the equipment breaks down, if it is operated incorrectly, if the control
unit breaks down or if the cables break, etc., it must be ensured that the drive
or the complete apparatus is kept in a safe operating mode.
Repairs
Repairs may be made by authorized personnel only or by the manufacturer.
Improper repairs can result in substantial dangers for the user
Danger
During installation of the DEC Module, make sure to disconnect all apparatus
from the electrical supply.
After switch-on, do not touch any life parts!
Wiring Procedure
All electrical connections should only be connected or disconnected when the
power is switched off.
Max. Supply voltage
Make sure that the supply voltage is between 6 and 55 VDC. Voltage higher
than 56 VDC or wrong polarity will destroy the unit.
Short Circuit and Earth Fault
The amplifier is not protected against winding short circuits against ground
safety earth and/or GND!

4 Commissioning Instructions
4.1 Power supply layout
Any available power supply can be used, as long as it meets the minimum
requirements shown below.
During commissioning and adjustment phases, we recommend to mechanically separate the motor from the machine to prevent damage due to uncontrolled motion!
Power supply requirements
Nominal output voltage 6 VDC < V
CC
< 50 VDC
Absolute minimum output voltage 6 VDC
Absolute maximum output voltage 55 VDC
Output current depending on load, continuous max. 5 A
acceleration, short-time max. 10 A
The required supply voltage can be calculated as follows:
Known values
Ö Operating torque MB [mNm]
Ö Operating speed nB [rpm]
Ö Nominal motor voltage UN [V]
Ö Motor no-load speed at UN, n0 [rpm]
Ö Speed/torque gradient of the motor Dn/DM [rpm/mNm]
Sought value
Ö Supply voltage VCC [V]

Select a power supply capable of supplying this calculated voltage under
load. The formula takes into account a maximum PWM duty cycle of 95%
and a 0.3 V maximum voltage drop (at maximum output current) of the power
stage.

Note
Ö During controlled deceleration, the power supply must be able to buffer
the back-fed energy e.g. in a capacitor.
Ö The under voltage protection switches off the DEC Module 50/5, as soon
as the supply voltage VCC drops below 6 V. Therefore, at low supply voltage VCC attention has to be payed to the voltage drop over the supplying
cables.
