2. Device description
2.1 Intended use
SDC107 is a driver designed for DC motors with power up to about 150 W.
The driver allows, to control the motor speed and direction of rotation, and the active reduction of the maximum
current drawn by the motor (6 A).
The motor speed can be set via an external signal 0-5 V or via the built-in potentiometer.
Motor operation control (work permit, change of direction of rotation, end inputs) is carried out using optoisolated
ENABLE / DIR / LIMIT N / LIMIT P inputs.
The current limit function (regulated by an external 0-5V signal or built-in potentiometer) allows limiting the
maximum current consumed by the motor and prevent it from overheating or damage.
Features:
Continuous current up to 6 A
Voltage supply 12..36 V
Maximum current limit to prevent motor overloading
Motor speed / current regulation by an external 0-5 V signal or built-in potentiometer

2.3 Power supply
Driver power supply
To power the driver, it is recommended to use a power supply with an output voltage equal to the rated voltage of
the motor used (in the range of + 12 ... + 36 V) and current capacity appropriate to the motor power. In the case of
larger motors, the power supply should allow receiving reverse energy from the driver, which is why it is not
recommended to use stabilized power supplies, or it should be equipped with additional capacitors at the output
with a capacity of min. 4700 uF.
Output +5V OUT
Driver facilitate +5 V voltage which can be used for supplying of external potentiometer connected 0-5 V IN input.
Maximal current consumption for all +5 V outputs can’t exceed 100 mA.
CAUTION!
Clenching +5 V OUT output with ground (GND) or with power supply (VDC+) can cause damage of the driver.
2.4 Driver’s outputs
The driver has two PNP OC type outputs with max. 40 mA load. An active output causes the appearance of a VDC
supply voltage.
OUT OUT ERROR output - active in the event of a driver error
OUT LIMIT output - active when the motor reaches the set current limit. It can be used e.g. to signal
mechanical blocking of the motor, etc.
CAUTION!
The outputs are not suitable for supplying actuators (electromagnets, contactors, etc.). They are intended as
diagnostic information for a superior control system (e.g. PLC).

2.6 Error signaling and reset
The driver can signal following errors:
Overload or short circuit (ERROR LED flashes quickly)
Power supply / temperature exceeded (ERROR LED flashes slowly)
In the event of an error, the motor is turned off, the ERROR LED flashes and the OUT ERR output passes high.
To reset the error and continue the driver operation, remove and provide the ENABLE signal again.

3.1 Speed/current regulation (S1/S2)
The maximum speed and current of the motor are regulated using an external 0-5 V voltage supplied to the 0-5 V
IN input and a built-in 10-turn potentiometer.
Depends on S1 and S2 switches settings following combinations are possible:

In cases of using the built-in 10-turn potentiometer to set the desired current:
turn the potentiometer maximally to the left (make 10 turns or until you feel resistance)
turn the potentiometer clockwise X times 0.5 A (e.g. for 2 A current turn 4 turns).
A) Example: Speed regulation by an external potentiometer and current limitation using built-in
Picture. 3 Speed regulation by external potentiometer with current limitation.
B) Example: Speed control with built-in potentiometer without current limitation max. (~ 6 A)
Picture. 4 Speed control with built-in potentiometer.
3.2 SOFT-START function (SOFT-START - S3)
The S3 switch enables activation of the SOFT-START function, which causes a soft start of the motor (the delay in
reaching the maximum speed is about 2 seconds).
Activation of the function may be necessary when controlling motors with more power or driving mechanisms with
greater inertia. Otherwise, the driver may indicate overload during the start or reversing at a higher speed.
3.3 Dynamic brake function (BRAKE-STOP – S4)
Switching S4 to ON enables the dynamic braking function. Then, removing the ENABLE signal or giving a signal to
the limit input (LIMIT N or P) causes the motor to stop abruptly. During such braking, the energy from the motor is
returned by the driver to the power source.
CAUTION!
During dynamic braking, the energy of the accelerated motor is returned by the driver in the form
of voltage to the power source (the motor then works as a generator). Therefore, it is necessary to
provide power supply to the driver to collect reverse energy - e.g. equip the power supply with large
electrolytic capacitors. Therefore, the use of switched-mode power supplies is also not
recommended.

3.4 Position limit inputs (LIMIT-LEVEL – S5)
The driver has two inputs (LIMIT-L and LIMIT-P) allowing the motor to stop after activation of the input depending
on the current motor direction (DIR input).

The S5 switch determines the type of limit sensors used. When S5 = OFF it is for NO (Normal Open) sensors, when
S5 = ON it is NC (Normal Close) sensors.
For 3-wire applications (e.g. inductive), use sensors with PNP output. When using sensors with NPN output, the
LIMIT N / P input should be pulled up to + VDC with a 2.2k ohm resistor, taking into account the reverse logic of
the sensors.

directions with NO type sensors

B) Example of connecting the driver to the motor driving the screw with limited movement in two
directions with NC type sensors

C) Using the LIMIT N / P inputs as an input to stop motor operation
Picture. 7 Using LIMIT N/P inputs as "STOP" input.
3.5 Auto-reverse function (Auto-reverse - S6)
Turning on the Auto-reverse function (switch S6 = ON) automatically changes the direction of rotation of the motor
when the limit switch is activated.
Auto-Reverse function operation:
Starting the motor operation requires signal input to ENABLE.
The motor moves in the direction depending on the signal at the DIR input.
After reaching the extreme position and activating the LIMIT N or P sensor, the motor stops for about 3
seconds.
After the time elapses, the motor moves in the opposite direction until the second LIMIT sensor is
activated and the motor stops for 3 seconds. The sequence is repeated.
3.7 Driver software update
Putting all switches in the ON position and turning on the driver power supply causes its activation in the software
update mode (via USB). Configuration S1..S6 = ON is therefore not allowed during normal operation of the driver.

4Problems and solutions
The motor does not
revolve
1) Check if the green POWER LED is on. If not - no power supply to the driver or
damaged driver.
2) Check if a signal is given to the ENABLE input.
3) Check if the LIMIT LED is flashing. If so, it means that the limit input is active
(chapter 3.4)
4) Check if the red ERR LED is flashing. If so, it means the driver is
in error mode. To clear the error, remove and re-enter the ENABLE signal.
5) Check the configuration of the S1 / S2 switches (chapter 3.1).
6) If external control is active, check that the control voltage has been applied
(0..5 V).
The driver signals an
error after changing the
direction of rotation or
switching on.
The motor starting current is too high. The driver signals when the max current is
reached or goes into error mode (the ERROR LED flashes). It is recommended to
enable the SOFT-START function (switch S3 = ON).
The driver signals an
error during braking.
For the active BRAKE-STOP S4 = ON mode, braking returns energy from the
motor to the power supply, which may increase the power supply voltage. If the
power supply is not able to receive such energy (too small electrolytic capacitors
at the power output), the driver supply voltage may exceed the max. value (40
V). Then the driver will go into error condition.
The driver signals an
error as soon as the
ENABLE signal is
activated.
Check for a short circuit between motor leads or between the M + or M- signal
and GND or VDC.
If the error repeats and cannot be cleared, the driver has been damaged.
The motor is spinning
slowly, the red LED is
on.
The motor current limit is active. Check the configuration of the S1 switches
and S2 and depending on the set mode, increase the current limit with the built-
in potentiometer or an external 0-5V signal.
