Each control can cover a range of horsepowers, and can be adjusted for use with a particular Bodine motor by simply setting a "DIP switch" and selecting the proper armature fuse (See pages 12 and 13). The FPM Analog Interface Board accepts an external voltage or current speed Input signal from an analog output port of a programmable logic controller or other device and outputs an optically isolated voltage signal to the driver board to control motorspeed (direction can also by controlled if the optional Electronic Forward-Brake-Reverse (F-B-R) Board (Model No. 890) is used). Models are also available with integral Digital Interface Boards, or electronic F-B-R Boards. Type-FPM controls provide pure DC (negligible ripple. Form Factor 1.0) to the motors. Compared to unfiltered 90VDC SCR controls (Form Factor 1.6), Bodine's FPM controls can provide as much as 92% more continuous motor torque output or 46% lower motor operating temperature, longer brush and commutator life, and smoother low-speed motor rotation. | | |
