DIMENSIONS
The MDC151-012601 driver is designed 
to drive DC brushless motors at currents 
of up to 60A (peak) and 12V.  Using hall 
sensor feedback, a constant velocity 
mode can be selected.  The driver is 
protected against over current (cycle-by-
cycle or latched), hall sensor error and 
under voltage.  When an error occurs, 
a fault light notifies the user.  If the fault 
latch is enabled and an error occurs, the 
fault output goes low to notify the user.  
Included on the driver is an internal 
potentiometer to control the maximum 
phase current allowed into the motor and 
an internal potentiometer to control the 
speed of the motor.  An external voltage 
(0-5VDC) can be used to control the 
speed as well.  The direction of the mo-
tor can be preset by the direction control 
input.

Other inputs the drive include a run/
stop and a motor freewheel input.  When 
using the run/stop input, there are three 
ramp up/down profiles from standstill to 
select from.  The run/stop input over
-
rides all other inputs into the driver. Ideal Applications

that involve food, cosmetic, or medical 
packaging, labeling, or tamper-evident 
requirements, cut-to-length applications, 
electronic assembly, robotics, factory au-
tomation, special filming and projection 
effects, medical diagnostics, inspection 
and security devices, conveyor and ma
-
terial handling systems, metal fabrication 
(CNC machinery), pump flow control, XY 
and rotary tables, equipment upgrades 
or wherever precise positioning or speed 
control is required.

Control Inputs:
(TB3, Pins 2-4)TTL-CMOS compatible
Logic “0” = 0 - 0.8VDC
Logic “1” = Open
Direction Control:
(TB3, Pin 2) Logic “1” (open) - Clockwise
Logic “0” - Counterclockwise
Freewheel:
(TB3, Pin 3) Logic “1” (open) - Motor is Enabled
Logic “0” - Motor is de-energized and coast
Run/Stop:
(TB3, Pin 4) Logic “1” (open) - Motor will not run and if 
running will decelerate according to ramp 
dip switch setting
Logic “0” - Motor will run and will accelerate 
to ramp dip switch
V Control:
(TB3, Pin 6) To control the speed of the motor with and 
external DC voltage, INT/EXT SPD switch 
(SW1-POS1) must be switched to the ON 
position.
0VDC (min) - 5VDC (max)
Control Outputs:
(TB3, Pin 1) TTL-CMOS Compatible
These outputs are able to sink 50mA.
Speed Output:
(TB3, Pin 1) A 5V signal pulse out is available at a rate 
of 4 pulses for 1 revolution of an 8-pole 
motor, 3 pulses for 1 revolution of a 6-pole 
motor, and 2 pulses for 1 revolution of a 
4-pole motor.
8-pole motor RPM = 15 * PG OUT in Hz
6-pole motor RPM = 20 * PG OUT in Hz
4-pole motor RPM = 30 * PG OUT in Hz
Fault Output:
(TB3, Pin 5)
Enabled when fault latch is 
enabled. Logic “1” (5V Out) - Status good, normal 
operation.
Logic “0” - One of the three fault conditions 
listed in the ‘Fault Protect’ section has oc-
curred.
When a fault is detected, the Fault Output 
(P in 5) goes low.
