DMC2 53080 by Danaher

The Danaher DMC2 53080 motion controller is a high-performance device in the DMC Motion Controllers series, designed to deliver precise motion control for industrial automation. This controller provides a peak current of 80 A and a continuous current of 30 A at 40°C, supporting demanding acceleration and sustained operation profiles. With an operating efficiency of 95% at continuous current, the DMC2 53080 minimizes energy loss and reduces heat generation in confined installations. The compact design, weighing 6.9 kg and featuring an IP20 protection rating, permits flexible mounting within control cabinets or machine frames. By integrating advanced current management and thermal optimization, this unit ensures consistent performance in robotics, CNC machining, and conveyor applications.

The detailed technical specifications of the DMC2 53080 include a DC bus voltage of 570 VDC (+10% / -20%), which accommodates voltage fluctuations common in industrial power systems. The controller supports a switching frequency of 4 kHz and a current open loop bandwidth of 2 kHz to facilitate rapid response to control commands. It delivers 13.8 kW continuous power at 40°C with a continuous RMS current of 21 A, while maintaining speed linearity of < 1% and torque linearity of ±1% full scale plus ±2% command value. Motor compatibility extends to minimum inductance ratings of 3 mH, ensuring stability across a range of servo and stepper motor types. The unit’s dimensions of 234 mm (H) x 227 mm (D) x 173 mm (W) allow for efficient integration into standardized panel layouts.

Operational performance of the DMC2 53080 is optimized for extended duty cycles, with an ambient operating temperature span of 0°C to 60°C and storage capability from -20°C to 80°C. The controller employs advanced thermal management to sustain 95% efficiency under continuous load, reducing the need for additional cooling infrastructure. Its precise current regulation and high bandwidth enable smooth motion profiles with minimal overshoot, even under dynamic load changes. The robust architecture resists electrical noise and delivers repeatable positioning accuracy, making it suitable for high-throughput manufacturing environments. Maintenance is simplified through accessible connectors and status monitoring via integrated diagnostics.
