Application Setup Overview

This unique board will allow the intermittent directional control (CW/CCW) of a DC motor. The time that the motor will travel in each direction is programmed into the board and is stored in non-volatile memory. There are limit switches that, when activated, will stop the motor.

The board can be triggered by either a dry contact closure at the Remote Trigger Terminal or by pressing the adjacent tactile switch. Once triggered, the motor will travel in the first direction for the programmed time, wait for a programmed time, travel in the opposite direction for a programmed time, wait for another programmed time and then the board will wait for the next trigger event. Alternatively, if Auto Loop is programmed to be on, the board will then wait for a programmed amount of time and then automatically repeat the entire process.
All programmed times can range from 1 second to 60 minutes. Programming is accomplished via a 4-line x 16 char LCD display and 4 programming buttons.

Power to the board is via a 2.1mm barrel-type connector or via the adjacent terminal block. Power to the motor is applied via another 2.1mm barrel-type connector or via the adjacent terminal block. LEDs on the board will indicate that power is present. There is a small slide switch at the top of the board that will allow you to turn on and off the LCD backlight. LEDs next to each limit switch terminal block will indicate that a limit switch is in the open condition. There is also a SS Relay contact that will close for 2 seconds at the beginning of motor travel in each direction. A LED next to the SSR Contact terminal block will indicate that the relay is active and the contacts are closed.

This board was designed to allow the operation of a DC motor ON and OFF for random time periods limited by on-board user set potentiometers

A connection for an E-Stop Switch (NC contact) is provided to stop motor travel when pressed. An adjacent LED will light when the E-Stop switch is activated. Also, a connection is provided for a Remote On/Off switch.

Power to the board is attached via a 2.1 mm barrel-type connector or the adjacent terminal block. Power for the motor is provided by a separate 2.1 mm barrel-type connector or adjacent terminal block.

Two on-board potentiometers are provided to set the maximum motor travel time and the maximum motor interval wait period. These times can be set from 1 second to 5 minutes.

This unique board was designed to allow the directional control of a Linear Actuator (IN / OUT) or DC Motor Rotation (CW / CCW) by using a R/C servo output channel (PWM Signal) to control the DC Motor movements / positions.

Two modes of operation are provided and are selected by the on board Mode Jumper. Toggle On and Off and Latching On and Off Control. On board limit switch inputs stop actuator if positions are exceeded.

The board is powered by the R/C servo connection, but separate power of 12 Vdc @ 5+ Amps must be provided for the linear actuator or DC motor. A power jack or wire terminal is on-board for easy connection to linear actuator motor power. A wire terminal block is also on-board for quick connection to the linear actuator motor wires
There are 2 on-board 6-Amp mechanical relays that work in conjunction to reverse the polarity of the power being supplied to the linear actuator motor that is attached at the motor connection terminal block by PWM (Radio Control) signals.

The board takes standard R/C servo inputs.
The linear actuator controller can also be connected to any of the Wizard Boards or Puppet Controllers for a fully programmable Linear Actuator Controller.

Controller has on-board PIC Microprocessor for R/C to Relay Control. 3-Pin header for quick servo wire connection from R/C receiver or Wizard board.
Tri-Color LED for Motor Rotation / Linear Position Status.

This unique board was designed to allow the directional control of a 12V DC Linear (In / Out or standard CW / CCW) DC motor using the presence (+on) or absence (0-off) of a 12V control signal at the on-board Signal Input Terminal. When the signal is present, the motor will run in one direction (motor dependent). When the signal is not present, the motor will run in the opposite direction.

There are 2 limit switch inputs, controlled by the on-board PIC microprocessor, one for each direction that should be hooked to N.O. dry contact closure-type switches. When a limit switch is closed, it will stop or prevent movement in the associated direction. The board can be powered from a DC source of 7.5V ­ 24V DC, 100 mA minimum. Power to the board can be applied via the 2.1mm barrel-type connector or the adjacent 2-position terminal block and is indicated by a green LED. Power for the motor should be 12VDC at a current applicable for the motor attached. It is applied via the 2.1mm Motor Power connector or the adjacent 2-position terminal block. A green LED next to the Motor Power connector indicates that motor power is present.

Instruction Guide

This unique board was designed to allow the directional control of a 12V DC Linear (In / Out or standard CW / CCW) DC motor by a dry contact closure( Switch / remote relay) at either the on-board CW or CCW Switch Connector terminal block or by pressing the adjacent on-board pushbutton.

When a signal (Switch / Relay closure) is present at either one of the control terminal blocks (or button), the motor will run in the associated direction (CW or CCW). When a signal is not present, the motor will not run. When the motor is moving in one direction, the other directional input is ignored until the current input signal is stopped. There are 2 limit switch inputs, one for each direction, that should be hooked to N.C. dry contact closure-type switches. When a limit switch is opened, it will stop or prevent movement in the associated direction. (CW / CCW, Linear Movement IN / Out)

The board electronics is powered from a DC source of 12-VDC, 100 mA minimum. Power to the board can be applied via the 2.1mm barrel-type connector or the adjacent 2-position terminal block and is indicated by a red LED. Power for the motor should be 12VDC at a current applicable (10 Amp max) for the motor attached. It is applied via the 2.1mm Motor Power connector or the adjacent 2-position terminal block. A red LED next to the Motor Power connector indicates that motor power is present.

Adjacent to the Aux Motor Power Terminal Block, there is a terminal block for the connection of a Emergency Stop Switch (Estop, EPO Button).When this is activated all power to the motor is immediately stopped.

This board was designed to allow the user to program the position of a VDC linear actuator. Eight positions can be programmed in with a wait time at each position that can range from 1 second to 5 minutes. The 8 positions can be selected at any length along the full travel.

Connections for a Home switch, Limit switches and an Estop button are provided with an associated LED that indicates when the switch is activated. After programming the eight positions, playback can be started by pressing the Enter button. Programming options include returning the actuator to Home position prior to starting playback and putting the board in Loop mode where the playback repeats over and over until stopped by pressing the Menu Button or hitting the Estop switch.

Power to the actuator is separate from the board power and is attached to the board via a 2.1mm barrel-type connector or the adjacent terminal block located at the top left of the board. Power for the board is also provided via a 2.1mm barrel-type connector or adjacent terminal block located at the bottom left of the board. A red/green bicolor LED will indicate which direction the actuator is moving

( Motors , Duo Power supplies, limit switches - Not included )

This board was designed to allow the user to program the position of a large linear actuator using one of 2 operational modes. One mode will allow you to program in 8 positions along the length of travel with a wait time of up to 5 minutes between each position. The other mode will allow the continuous recording of position for up to 8000 positions with an optional loop repeat delay of up to 5 minutes before replaying.

The current operational mode will be displayed when the board is first powered up. If you wish to change the mode, turn off the board, hold down the Menu button, turn the board back on (still holding down the Menu button) and the display will show that the new mode has been selected. The current mode will remain in effect until this procedure is repeated again.

Connections for a Home switch, Limit switches and an EStop button are provided with an associated LED that indicates when the switch is activated.

Power to the actuator is separate from the board power and is attached to the board via a 2.1mm barrel-type connector or the adjacent terminal block located at the top left of the board. Power for the board is also provided via a 2.1mm barrel-type connector or adjacent terminal block located at the bottom left of the board.

A red/green bicolor LED will indicate which direction the actuator is moving.

( Motors , Duo Power supplies, limit switches - Not included )

This board was designed to allow the recording and playback of the movement of a linear actuator or rotational directional control of other DC motors that have a potentiometer-based position sensor.

The board can control an actuator that requires power of up to 24VDC at 5A. Power for the actuator can be supplied via power connectors separate from the board power (recommended) or, if the actuator does not require a lot of current, the board and actuator can be powered from the same power supply by shorting the Power Jumper Header. The Power LEDs will indicate that power is present.

There are terminal block connectors for limit switches and remote programming / control switch connections. The board also has a Loop Delay Pot that when used will cause the board to continuously loop the playback with a delay in between of up to 10 minutes.

The on-board EEPROM can store up to 8000 motion positions.
