1300 Henley Court Pullman, WA 99163 509.334.6306 www.digilentinc.com DMC 60 Reference Manual Revised November 15, 2016 This manual applies to the DMC 60 rev. A Overview The DMC 60 is an electronic speed controller designed for driving brushed DC motors. It utilizes synchronous rectification to efficiently produce a variable output voltage thats controlled by a PWM Input Signal. This makes the DMC 60 ideal for use in robotics applications, including FIRST Robotics Competition. Figure 1. DMC 60 components. Sealed, ruggedized, and compact aluminum case Tie-wrap and through-bolt mounting drop-in replacement for Victor SP controller Four multi-color LED indicators sequence to indicate speed, direction, and status for easier debugging Brake / Coast Calibration button enables one- touch setting changes and calibration Large gauge input/output cables with flexible silicone insulation Integrated thermal sensing and protection current-foldback to prevent overheating and damage 15.625 kHz output switching frequency ensures The DMC 60. smooth and precise motor control Copyright Digilent, Inc.
