I would like to run several machines of the same dc controller. Have the on / off / reverse switches figured out, but how to I get speed control at each station?
We need more details.I would like to run several machines of the same dc controller. Have the on / off / reverse switches figured out, but how to I get speed control at each station?
Put a pot at each station and use a double pole double throw switch or relay to control which pot is connected to the controller. You can leave one wire of the deselected pot connected. Sounds like an awkward arrangement, though.Got a controller mounted on my 2x72 belt grinder. Would like to use the same controller to run a 1x42 grinder that I will build tomorrow then use the same controller to run a 9" Southbend lathe, which is on the other side of that shop. Can't run across the shop to adjust speed of lathe... would like to be able to adjust the speed at each location. How do I do that? I know how to get power to each motor but not how to have speed adjustment at each motor.
