3. Construction and control elements
BMD-5DIN is designed as a circuit plate with electronics elements, installed on a plate and covered
with a plastic case. Besides electronic components, there are indicating and control elements and connection
terminals on the board:
- terminal screws for power supply, motor windings and control circuit connection;
- “START/STOP” and “REVERSE” buttons;
- Internal preset potentiometers to adjust motor speed “SPEED”, acceleration/deceleration “a” and
motor current limit “I”.
- LED for indication of the controller status.
To adjust motor speed the internal potentiometer “SPEED” and the analog input for voltage signals
0..5 V/0…10 V are provided. To adjust acceleration and reversing deceleration internal potentiometer “a” is
provided. To change motor direction the input and the button “DIR” are intended. To start or stop motion the
button and the input “START/STOP” are intended. Adjustment of the protection operation threshold 0.1 ... 5A
is carried out by the "CURRENT ADJUST" potentiometer and the "Vref" terminal.
4. Operation principle
Regulation of speed and the direction of rotation of a DC brush motor is carried out by change of
voltage value and polarity. This is achieved by including the motor in a bridge circuit on transistor switches
controlled by the PWM method.
The PWM generator is based on a microcontroller. In addition to the PWM controller, the
microcontroller performs the functions of measuring the values of the signal parameters at the control inputs,
the positions of the regulators, calculating the speed, acceleration and braking according to the internal
program.
5. Assembly and connection.
Please, learn this manual carefully before connection and assembly.
Please, wire just when power is off. Do not attempt to change wiring while the power is ON.
Please, provide a reliable contact in connection terminals. During wiring, please, observe the polarity
and wire management.
IMPORTANT: it is recommended to place a power supply in direct proximity to the controller
BMD-5DIN. It is obligatory to use wire cross-section 1 mm2. The power supply must be able to provide the
current 20% higher than a maximum possible current consumption while in operation. Recommended wire
length: no longer than 1 m.
The connection scheme example is shown in figure 2.

1) Make sure the power supply is turned off. Please, wire just when power is off.
2) Select input signals logic and voltage range for the analog speed regulation signal (refer to the
section 7).
3) Connect the motor to the controller terminals A and B.
4) Connect the control elements to the controller according to chosen speed adjusting method:
- Internal potentiometer - additional connection doesn’t required
- External potentiometer – connect potentiometer to the contacts “SPEED”, GND and “+5V”. The
internal potentiometer “SPEED” should be turned to the end left position.
- Analog signal 0…5 V or 0…10 V – connect the source of analog signal to the “SPEED” contacts: “-“ to
the “GND” contact and “+” to the “SPEED” contact. The motor speed is proportional to the signal
voltage. The jumper “10V | 5V” determines the voltage range for the analog speed regulation signal
(refer to the section 7).
5) If needed, connect control elements to the “START/STOP” and “DIR” contacts. These inputs are
clean contact.
6) Connect power supply to the controller contacts: “+”of the power supply to the terminal “VIN”, “-“ of the
power supply to the terminal “GND“. Wire cross-section should be suitable to the motor current
consumption. We recommend using wire cross-section 1 mm2. Ground the power supply unit.
7) Set speed and acceleration regulators to the end CCW position, which correspond to their minimum
values.
8) Using the potentiometer «CURRENT ADJUST», set the maximum motor current. Adjust the
«CURRENT ADJUST» potentiometer and control the set current limit by a voltmeter, connected to
«GND» and «Vref » terminals (fig.3). The motor current limitation can be calculated as:
Ilim = 0.1 + 4.9 x (VREF / 3.3)
Fig. 3. Connection of a voltmeter for setting of a motor maximum current limit.
6. Motor Control
1. Choose the method of speed regulation: internal or external potentiometer or analog voltage signal.
2. Connect the motor, power supply and control elements to the controller according to the section 5.
3. Turn on the power supply. The controller is ready for operation. LED at the front panel of the
controller should solid light. Adjust the motor current limit (see the section 5).
4. Start the motor by button or input signal «START/STOP». The LED should start blinking (period 1
sec). 5. Adjust the motion parameters by using of a speed regulator, acceleration potentiometer and
direction input or button.
In case of short-circuit of motor phases or overcurrent 10A for 15 µs, the controller turns to an
emergency mode, deenergizes the motor and indicates the alarm by LED blinking.

In case of motor current exceeds the set limit for 5 sec, the controller also turns to an emergency
mode, Red LED is blinking.
To reset the emergency mode, reset the power supply of the controller.
7. Setting input signals operation logic and voltage range for analog speed control signal
The controller BMD-5DIN provides few options for processing of input signals START/STOP and DIR
and 2 options for analog voltage signal. Jumpers for selection of the necessary options are located on the
electronic board under the case of the controller.
Fig. 4. Take off the case
To open the case:
·Turn off the power supply.
·Disconnect the terminals from the controller;
·Remove the controller from the DIN rail;
·Open the controller case as shown in the fig. 4:
1. Press down on the latch with a flathead screwdriver
on both sides;
2. Pull the top and bottom of the case apart;
·Set the jumpers to the required position
7.1. Setting input signals operation logic
As a default the controller is supplied with standard signal logic: input START/STOP is processed as
per the front edge of the signal, input DIR is processed as per the signal level.
Operation logic of the inputs "START/STOP" and "DIR" can be adjusted with the jumpers
"START_PIN" and "DIR_PIN" – fig. 5.
If the corresponding pair of contacts is closed by a jumper, their state corresponds to the “ON” value.
If the jumper doesn’t close the contacts, the state of the contacts corresponds to the value "OFF".
The logic of operation of the control inputs "START/STOP" and "DIR" is shown in the figure 6.

and DIR_PIN jumpers Fig. 6. Operation logic of input signals

7.2. Setting voltage range for analog speed control signal
Fig. 7. 10V |5V
jumper
Voltage range of the analog speed signal can be selected by a customer and
depends on position of the jumper “10V | 5V” – fig. 7. The option is selected if the
central contact and the corresponding voltage contact are closed with the jumper.
The default setting is 0…10 V. This setting should be also taken into account when
using an external potentiometer for speed regulation. If use the built-in source +5V
and 0…10V setting, the maximum motor speed can not be achieved.
8. Alarms indication
LED on the front panel of the controller indicates the controller operation status. In case of normal
operation the indicator is green. Green indicator blinks during motor operation (approx. 1 time per second). In
case if errors occur, the LED indicates the code of an error. The number of red blinks represents the alarm
code (refer to the table below). LED errors indication
Alarm code Alarm Alarm code Alarm
0 Normal operation 4 Internal power switches overheating
1 Out of voltage range of the
internal converter 5 Wrong motor connection or emergency stop (HARD_STOP)
2 Short circuit in a motor phase 6 Testing version of firmware
