Pasaban MTC3001-DC Drive Control PLC Module

The Pasaban MTC3001-DC is a drive control PLC module designed for Pasaban industrial automation systems. This module is specifically tailored for controlling DC drives in machinery such as extruders, winding machines, and metal processing equipment. It interfaces with DC drive regulators and provides digital and analog I/O for feedback and control. The MTC3001-DC is part of the MTC series of modular PLC components, offering expandable I/O and robust construction for harsh industrial environments. It includes analog input channels for speed and tension feedback, analog output channels for speed reference, and digital I/O for contactor controls.

Applications

The MTC3001-DC is used in Pasaban control systems for DC motor drives in converting machinery (slitter-rewinders, coating lines), extruders, and other variable speed applications. It can be used as a standalone PLC or as part of a larger Pasaban rack.

Installation and Configuration

Mount the module on a DIN rail. Connect 24V DC power. Wire field devices to the removable screw terminals. The analog inputs can be configured for voltage or current via DIP switches. Use Pasaban programming software (specific to the MTC series) to load the control program. The module’s parameters include PID settings for tension control, ramp times, and scaling.

Maintenance

Check the module for dust accumulation. The module has no internal battery; user program is stored in EEPROM. Replace the module if faulty.
