Dc Motor Drive Basic Questions

Really the only thing limiting the KB (or Minarik, or Dayton or Dart) controllers is the SCR ratings and the heatsinking. Of course you'd have to have a proper sized "horsepower" (current sensing) resistor but essentially that's it. Oh, and the bridge diodes. You can get I think up to 40 amp devices in tab style TO220 packages.

What about a MC-1200 board?? Any possibility its like a MC-60?? Or easier then a MC-2100... ??

All this is new to me thou... But I do tinker lol ..
 
Never heard of a MC-1200. If it uses a speed control pot it'd be easy, if it's like the 2100 and uses the same input parameters it wouldn't be too tough because as I said, the hard work has already been done by others.
 
I used this controller and I love it!

There are a bunch on eBay for less than $75. I used it on my South bend lathe with a 180v DC 1HP Baldor motor. Works flawlessly and has regenerative braking. Also has lots of adjustment for acceleration deceleration and current limits. Comes well documented.
