Product Overview
The DC Motor Position Controller is engineered for high-precision angular control in laboratory and research environments, offering seamless integration with automated systems. Built with a robust ABS housing and reinforced metal gears, this controller ensures durability while maintaining smooth operation under continuous use. The 12-bit encoder delivers exceptional resolution (4096 steps per revolution), enabling micro-adjustments for applications demanding exact positioning, such as robotic manipulators or custom testing apparatus. Compatible with 12V–24V DC motors, it supports PWM-based speed and direction control, allowing dynamic adjustments via USB or serial (TTL) interfaces for PC-based automation. The controller’s low-latency response and overcurrent protection (2A continuous, 3A peak) make it reliable for prolonged experiments without risk of motor burnout. Its plug-and-play design eliminates complex wiring, while the included calibration software simplifies setup for users across skill levels. Whether for repetitive motion tasks or single-axis positioning, this controller bridges the gap between manual adjustments and fully automated lab workflows, reducing human error and improving reproducibility in experimental setups.
FAQs
1. Can this controller handle bidirectional motor movement?
Yes, it supports both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation with configurable acceleration/deceleration profiles for smooth direction changes.
2. What’s the minimum angular step size achievable?
The 12-bit encoder provides a resolution of 0.088° per step (360°/4096), suitable for fine-tuned positioning tasks.
3. Is external power required for the encoder feedback?
No, the encoder draws power directly from the controller’s 5V rail, eliminating the need for separate wiring.
4. Can it be used with brushed and brushless DC motors?
It’s designed for brushed DC motors only. Brushless motors require a dedicated ESC (Electronic Speed Controller).
5. How do I update the controller’s firmware?
Firmware updates are performed via USB using the provided configuration software, with step-by-step guides included in the user manual.
