Are two power sources needed for integral control motors?
Last Updated: 05/23/2014
Motors can be programmed to function with only one power source. This scheme would be a setup where on/off is the only requirement. Typically, motors that will speed regulate, will require two power sources. An input source (12 – 48 VDC) for main motor power, and a secondary source for logic and control inputs (5VDC).
