DESIGN NEWS has awarded the Dart MD Plus Series with a BEST PRODUCT- FINALIST for 2009 in the Motion Control / Automation category. DN’s Golden Mousetrap Award highlights “the best and brightest engineering innovations of the past year, as well as creativity in product design”.
The MD PLUS is a field-programmable closed loop DC drive system employing an advanced velocity-form PID algorithm for accurate motor speed / process loop control. The MD PLUS is ideally suited for metering pump, blending, process oven, parts washer and other applications where the final driven element is a DC motor. The MD PLUS includes two field-programmable Form C relay contacts that may be configured to indicate a wide variety of conditions such as motor is running, “fault” conditions, and other information.
The combined functionality of the MD PLUS saves installation cost and space. The configurable modes (Master, Time, Ratio) allow one device to be used in multiple applications. This simplifies the end user experience and field support of delivered systems.
