EM-243A is a full bridge DC-motor starter. It is designed to work with DC-motor in applications where some special functions are needed.
Starter has adjustable acceleration and deceleration ramps, which make possible the smooth starts and stops. Adjustable current limit
protects motor against overcurrent and it can also be used as an end-stop. This device has also two settable speeds, which are usefull
in positioning applications. Control inputs FW and BW start the forward and backward run. STOP is for the motor shut-down but there are
also available individual limit inputs for FW and BW directions. SPEED-2 input activates preset speed-2, but it can also be used as input
for analog speed control signal 0-5V. FAULT terminal has at the same time input and output function, the pin is normally high, but is pulled
down in overheat and conditionally also in current trip situation. If FAULT-line is pulled down externally it will cause a stop and prevent the
new start. For example, it is possible to link fault pins of several units together and achieve a syncronous stop.
There are 2 selectable control modes, contionuous and impulse. In continuous mode the motor runs as long as the control is active.
In impulse mode a short comand starts the motor, and only a new impulse will change the status. The card has selectable input logics.
Inputs are divided in two groups, control and limit -inputs. Groups can be individually set for NPN or PNP logic. The parameters are set with
EM-236 interface unit. Operation of the controller and some of its functional values can also be monitored with EM-236 interface unit.

SETTABLE PARAMETERS

CONNECTIONS
Supply voltage recomendation is 12-42VDC
and ripple should be less than 30% at full load.
Supply voltage limit is 55Vdc
CAUTION ! Wrong polarity can damage the unit.
CAUTION ! Unit doesn't have an internal fuse, so
an external fuse should be added if fuse required.

ADJUSTMENT AND SETTINGS
Adjusting and parameter setting of eg.
current limit value, ramp times and speed-2
value is done with the EM-236 interface unit.
With EM-236 the parameters and adjusted
values can also be copied to multible
devices accurately and reliably.
DIP SWITCHES
A-version has a dip swithes, When switch are
in OFF position the card will be compatible with
earlier version.

0= I-trip and zero current won´t cause fault output signal
1= only I-trip causes fault output signal
2= only zero current causes fault output signal
3= both I-trip and zero currenT causes fault output signal.
11 overvoltage limit: 15-60V / 15-60 ( 55 )
Overvoltage can be caused by load driving the motor or
when braking the speed down but supply can not accept
the current back from driver. Exceeding the limit will cause
the power stage set to free-wheel state.
With a direct battery supply the brake current is charging the
battery and the voltage will not normally rice.
12 load compensation: 0-255 / 0-255 ( 0 )
Load compensation ( RxI ) improves low speed and start
torgue, but too high compensation achieve unstable running.
Run motor at low speed ( 30% ) Increace compensation
with small steps until motor start behaviour unstable,
then decrease value about 10%
13 timeout: 0-255s. / 0-255 (0=not in use) ( 0 )
14 reset for start and hour-counter 0/1 ( 0 )

16 stop ramp: 0-5s / 0-500 ( 100 )

GENERAL
EM-259A is a dimmer for 12-24V system. This device has PNP and NPN outputs, so it can be used either with positive
common or negative common systems. The output can source max. 4A current. If this current is exceeded the
self-recovery fuse will cut out the output. The load can be resistive or inductive, and there is a special control adjustment
curve also for led lamps. The control input is isolated, which makes possible to use this device with external voltageor mA-signal. Also this device can be controlled with potentiometer. The isolated input makes it easy to connect many
of these devices to work in parallel. The settings are made with dip-switches, which are located behind the side cap.
The housing is rail mountable. Heat sink is on the side of the box. If load is over 3A, there should be at least 5mm free
air on this side of the box to enable the cooling. Device meets the EMC requirements (CE) for household and industry use.
