General Description
The MDC151-024031 driver is designed to drive DC brushless motors at currents of up to 3A (peak)
and 24V. Using hall sensor feedback, a constant velocity mode is set. The driver is protected against
over current (cycle-by-cycle), hall sensor error and under voltage. When an error occurs, a fault light
is turned on to notify the user. An external voltage (0-5VDC) can be used to control the speed. The
direction of the motor can be preset by the direction control input. Other inputs to the drive include
a run/stop and a motor freewheel input.
Fault Protection
If a motor current level exceeding the current limit set, an over current latch is activated, shutting off
the output. This driver is equipped with a FAULT LED to alert the user of the following conditions.
1. Invalid Sensor Input Code
2. Over Current. The driver is equipped with cycle-by-cycle current limiting or over current latch.
3. Undervoltage Lockout activation at 9.1VDC for the input voltage and 4.5VDC for Hall Sen-
sor voltage.

Hall Sensor Power Output:
6.25V @ 30mA maximum. Typical current draw from hall sensor is 20mA.
All three Hall Sensor inputs are pulled up through 20K ohm resistors.
Closed Loop (Constant Velocity Mode)
The driver is set for Closed Loop operation. Closed Loop operation is used for applications where
speed regulation is needed. Under closed loop operation, the speed is regulated despite changes
to the load.
If using an Anaheim Automation DC Brushless motor, the tables shown on the next page are the
Close Loop potentiometer and jumper settings for each motor. The regulated speed of the motor is
then controlled by adjusting external speed input. The motor speed can be monitored by measuring
the pulse rate of PG OUT (P1 - pin 7).
If using a non-Anaheim Automation DC Brushless Motor.
1. Start with setting the jumpers on pins 1 and 2.
2. Set CL Adjust Pot to 50%.
3. Adjust the external speed input to 5V.
4. Decrease the closed loop gain by turning the pot CCW until the motor speed decreases
to the maximum speed. If the rated speed does not change or cannot be varied, switch
the jumpers to pin 2 and 3.

Motor Connection
Refertothehookupdiagramfortypicaldriverapplications.Whenconnectingamotorfortherst
time, connect the hall sensor wires (5 of them) to the driver. DO NOT CONNECT THE PHASES
YET. Turn on power and rotate the motor by hand. If the RED FAULT LED comes on, the hall phases
are incorrectly wired. If the RED FAULT LED does not come on then the hall wires are connected
correctly. Power the unit down and proceed to connect the motor phases. If the motor does not run
or runs erratically, power down and check the speed potentiometer and make sure the phases are
connected correctly. There are six different ways to connect the phase wires, and normally only two
will allow the motor to rotate, but only one is correct. If the direction of the motor is changed and the
no-load current of the motor is approximately the same and the motor runs smoothly in both directions
then the phase wires are correct.
The wiring of the motor phases should be separated from the hall and input connections to not allow
a possible source of interference.

Connecting to the MDC151-024031
The MDC151-024031 is designed with cost savings and size as two of the primary design criteria.
For this reason, the MTA-100 series connector was chosen for these products as a reliable small
and low cost connector. This is a common Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) manufactured
by AMP Corporation. The inputs to the driver are on a 7-pin connector and the motors are on a
8-pin connector. These connectors are not supplied with the driver, but can be purchased from
Anaheim Automation or AMP/Tyco Electronics.
The two images below show how a hand tool can be used to quickly make the cable to connect to
the driver. This cable can be made in approximately 10 seconds per wire using the hand tool.

Motor Freewheel
The motor freewheel feature allows the de-energizing of the motor phases. A high (open) input at
this input causes the motor to run at the given speed, while a low at this input causes the motor to
coast to a stop.
Motor Run/Stop
The motor run/stop feature allows the stopping of a motor by shorting out the bottom drives of the
three phases. A low at this input allows the motor to run, while a high (open) input does not allow
motor operation and if operating causes rapid deceleration.
Motor Direction
The motor direction feature allows the changing of the rotation of the motor. This input should not be
changed while motion is in progress. A high (open) input causes the motor to turn in the CW direc-
tion, while a low at this input causes the motor to turn in the CCW direction.
Speed Adjust Setting
The speed may be varied at Vcontrol from 0V-5V maximum. If a voltage other than 0V to 5V is needed
to control the speed of the motor, contact Anaheim Automation for custom tuning of the Vcontrol input.
Note: Avoid changing the direction of rotation when the motor is already running any
one direction.
The following instructions must be followed to prevent permanent drive failure due to over-current
conditions that exist in dynamic direction reversals of the motor:
1. Stop the motor by grounding the RUN/STOP input
2. Wait for at least 500mS
3. Change the direction with the DIRECTION input
4. Run the motor by removing ground signal on the RUN/STOP input

Heating Considerations
The temperature of the board should never be allowed to rise above 70° Celsius. If necessary, air
should be blown across the heat sink to maintain suitable temperatures.
