Specifications

The PCM4 card is a compact and cost-effective solution for process control applications. Powered by 115 or 230 VAC, the
PCM4 uses Burr Brown
®
Technology to isolate and condition incoming DC voltage signals from process controllers, motors,
transducers, microprocessors or any signal. Typically, the output of the PCM4 connects to the input of a motor drive; hence,
incompatible devices safely couple to yield a higher level of automation. Integrating this isolation card allows drives to follow
any non-isolated external voltage or current analog process control signal.
Dip-switch selectable, the PCM4 can follow any input voltage signal, grounded or ungrounded, from -250 to +250 VDC,
and any input current signal from 1 to 50 mA. In response to the input, the PCM4 outputs an isolated bipolar signal from -
12 to +12 VDC @ 10 mA, 0.01% linearity yields precise results. High resolution multi-turn pots lets users scale the output to
within millivolts of the input or any desired proportion within the range of the output. Users may elect to control devices in
manual mode using normal potentiometer operation rather than from an external signal input.
Comparable to a mini-PLC, the 200-0386A logic board provides compact intelligence and a high degree of automation
when combined with a regenerative drive in four-quadrant applications. Switching logic board modules interface regenera-
tive variable-speed drives with pushbuttons, limit switches, foot switches, or programmable controls to produce a low-cost
system. The logic module accepts commands from dry contact mechanical closures, current-sinking open-collectors, and TTL
logic devices.
After wiring and selecting the dip-switch configuration, the 200-0386A operates in one of nine modes, including automatic
cycling, single cycle, jog and more.
Minarik regenerative drives increase their versatility and application capability when incorporating low-cost adder boards. Now
as a standard product, users can retrofit isolation adder boards to the RG300UA, RG310UA, RG400UA, RG500UA,
RG510UA, RGT300U, RGT310U, and RGT400U and thereby increase the automation capability of their system. After users
mount the board to the drive, it can follow any external voltage or current signal; much like the PCM4. The added option
increases the height dimension by 1.5 “, while all other parameters remain unchanged. In addition, the board has a direction
input feature which can interpret a 0 to 10 VDC signal as a 0 to -10 VDC signal for bipolar operation from a unipolar signal
input.
To obtain the isolation board for the RG500 Series, order 200-0416; RG400 and RGT400Series, specify 200-0417 and for
the RG300 and RGT300 Series, order 200-0418.
We also offer many drives with a pre-mounted isolation board attached by the factory. These drives are ordered with
a -PCM suffix. Examples are MMXL-PCM, MAC05-D240AC-PCM, and VFD01-230AC-PCM. Other adder board
options are available upon request, contact your local Minarik representative.
