GMC601 GearMotor ControllerInnovatia gearmotor-controller technology offers general design principles and the designs of three specific controllers, including the GMC601 design. The first two controllers differ in their logic designs, are intended for quarter-turn ball valves, use the same Grainger gear motor series as the GMC601, are unidirectional, and use optical interrupters with a simple plastic disk mounted on the gear-motor shaft to sense opened and closed positions. |
GMC601 Features
 |
on/off or proportional valve actuation and control |
|
single circuit-board that fits onto a line of gear motors |
|
designed to automotive standards for reliability |
|
can be operated manually or by computer, from parallel port |
|
valve on and off positions adjustable for on/off control |
|
proportional control uses additional digital enable line |
|
"on" and "off" outputs indicate when valve is in end or limit positions |
|
turns both directions - suitable for cryogenics by keeping the drain channel of the valve ball on the exit side, to drain the main channel when off |
