Overview

The Dart Controls MD40P is a 1/8 DIN digital drive panel designed for closed-loop programmable motor speed control. This compact panel-mount unit integrates a velocity-form PID algorithm for accurate and responsive motor regulation, ideal for applications requiring precise speed matching, such as metering pumps, blending systems, and synchronized material handling. The MD40P supports three operational modes: Rate, Time, and Follower, enabling proportional speed control across multiple motors without external PLC logic in many cases. The -420 option adds isolated 4-20mA input and output signals for seamless integration with process control systems, allowing bidirectional communication where the drive both accepts a 4-20mA setpoint and returns a proportional speed feedback signal. The -51 option introduces RS232 and RS485 serial communication for advanced monitoring and configuration. With two field-programmable Form C relay contacts, the MD40P can signal operational states such as running status or fault conditions. Designed for panel mounting, it combines drive electronics, display, and control logic into a single integrated package, reducing system complexity and footprint.
