Variable Speed Drives: Programming DC Controllers
Wherever variable speed drives (VSDs) are used, they must be programmed to meet the needs of the specific application. Sometimes this means little more than firing them up and letting them run, maybe just punching the drive up to the required speed. But more often it means a variety of settings must be programmed into the drive. This course will focus on programming the controllers for variable speed direct current (DC) motors.
