American Control Electronics DCL Series: Low‑Voltage Brushless DC Drive with Snap‑On Programmable Board

American Control Electronics presents the DCL series, a high‑performance low‑voltage brushless motor controller designed for the 12‑48 VDC range. It delivers up to 30 A peak for one minute or 15 A continuously, making it ideal for demanding OEM and industrial applications.

The DCL’s streamlined architecture eliminates most of the trim pots and jumpers common to conventional motor drives, cutting both hardware costs and setup time. Its modular design allows seamless integration with a wide variety of motors and OEM specifications.

For field calibration, the DCL supports the CPC300‑1 snap‑on programmer board (sold separately). The board enables adjustment of ten key parameters and offers DIP switches to select operating modes. Once programmed, a single CPC300‑1 can be removed and reused with multiple DCL units, providing exceptional flexibility for maintenance teams.

Key features of the base DCL unit include:

• Modbus communication for easy integration into existing control systems
• One trim pot to set maximum speed
• Two DIP switches for closed‑loop or open‑loop operation
• Option to invert hall‑effect feedback

With its robust performance, cost‑effective design, and field‑ready calibration capabilities, the DCL series is a reliable choice for modern low‑voltage motor control needs.
