General Description
The BLWS23MDA Series is a compact construction that implements a DC Brushless controller and a DC 
Brushless motor in one streamline package. With the two parts combined into one casing, the need to wire 
up the motor has been eliminated. The DC Brushless controller operates off 24VDC. The high-speed DC 
Brushless motor can operate at 4000RPM, can generate up to 60 oz-in of continuous torque, and deliver 
as much as 180W, with the BLWS23MDA5 offering. Using hall...

Specifi cations
Run Stop and Direction Inputs: (TB1, Pins 3 and 6)
TTL-CMOS Compatible
Logic “0” = 0-0.8VD
Logic “1” = OPEN
The Run Stop and Direction Inputs are pulled up through a 10k ohm resistor.
V Speed: (TB1, Pin 5)
To control the speed of the motor with an external DC voltage, a voltage from 0.5VDC (min) - 5VDC (max) 
must be applied with reference to PGND (TB1, Pin 2). 
0VDC - Motor will stop.
PG Output: (TB1, Pin 4)
An open drain pulse out put has a max rating of 30VDC/50mA....

Speed Adjust Setting
There are two ways to set the speed on this DC Brushless Motor Controller combination. 
1. One is to use an external voltage or an external potentiometer. If a voltage is used to control the speed 
of the motor, the 0.5V to 5V voltage can be tied on VSPD (TB1 - pin 5) with respect to PGND (TB1 - pin 2). 
2. If an external potentimeter is used to control the speed of the motor, connect the pot wiper to VSPD 
(TB1 - pin 5), the positive end of the potentiometer to...

Dimensions and Ratings Heating Considerations
The temperature of the motor should never be allowed to rise above 70 degrees Celsius. If necessary, 
mount the unit to an additional heat sink or air should be blown across the heat sink to maintain suitable 
temperatures.
