DIMENSIONS
The MDC151-050301 driver is 
designed to drive DC brush -
less motors at currents of up 
to 30A (peak) and 50V.  Using 
hall sensor feedback, a con -
stant velocity mode can be se-
lected.  The driver is protected 
against over current (cycle-by-
cycle or latched), hall sen -
sor error and under voltage.  
When an error occurs, a fault 
light notifies the user.  If the 
fault latchg is enabled and an 
error occurs the fault output 
goes low to notify the user.  
Included on the driver is an in -
ternal 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 
motor can be preset by the 
L010725
MDC151-050301 - Brushless DC Controller
MDC151-050301 - Brushless DC Controller
• Maximum Current Limit Setting from 10.0-30.0 Amps
• Internal or External Potentiometer Speed Control
• 0V to 5V External Voltage Speed Control
• 2-Quadrant Operation
• Hall Sensor Feedback
• Constant Velocity Mode
• Short Circuit Protection
• Requires 20-50VDC
• Run/Stop, Freewheel and Direction Inputs

direction control input.  Other 
Inputs to the drive include a 
run/stop and a motor free-
wheel 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:
Automated machinery or 
processes that involve food, 
cosmetic, or medical pack
-
aging, labeling, or tamperevi -
dent requirements, electronic 
assembly robotics, factory 
automation, special filming, 
and project effects, medical 
diagnostics, inspection and 
security devices, conveyor 
and material handling sys -
tems, pump flow control, 
XY and rotary tables, equip -
ment upgrades or whenever 
speed control is required.

SPECIFICATIONS/WIRING DIAGRAM
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 will coast
Run/Stop:
(TB3, Pin 4) Logic “1” (open) - Motor will not run and if running 
will decelerate accordingly to ramp dip switch 
setting
Logic “0” - Motor will run and will accelerate ac
-
cording to ramp dip switch
V Control:
(TB3, Pin 4) To control the speed of the motor with an external 
DC Voltage, INT/EXT SPD switch (SW1-POS1) 
must beswitch to the ON position.
(0VDC (min) - 5VDC (max))
Control Outputs:
(TB3, Pins 1 
and 5) 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 opera
-
tion.  
Logic “0” - One of the three fault conditions listed 
in the ‘Fault Protect’ section has occur.  When a 
fault is detected, the Fault Output (Pin 5) goes 
low.
