DC Motor Controller

Just received the PEMENOL Motor Speed Controller. Hooked it up to a 30V 10 A DC power supply to check it out. Powered up fine when I got the power supply hooked up. The LED display is easy to read. The unit output is switched by the control knob by pushing it in. There's an LED above the knob to indicate on or off. The knob has smooth indents as you turn it, indicating the PW percentage on the LED display. It goes from 0 to 100. Don't know what the PWM frequency is. I didn't hook it up to my oscilloscope. I ultimately wanted to use the controller for a 24V gear motor, but I tried it on several other DC motors first. I tried a regular 6V DC motor it was able to control the motor very smoothly up to 100% modulation, except at really low pulse widths. Probably just too short of a voltage on time for DC motor dynamics, not a problem with the controller itself. Next I hooked up my 24V DC gear motor that runs nominally at 1000 rpm and 24VDC. The motor controller was able to again control the speed smoothly from about 15 to 100% modulation. Looks like it will work great for adding speed control between a fixed DC power supply and a lot of DC motors. Very useful and easy to connect.

Pros
  • Great motor runs great
Cons
  • Limited customization options
