OVERVIEW
SC6006 is a digital phase-angle control board for SCR's AC or DC converters. The main feature of this circuit is its
versatility, allowing different regulation options and working modes for a wide range of applications.
The system is designed to manage rectification regulation topologies; W3C, B6C, M6C and M3.2C. Optionally can also
work with W3H, B6H and M3C topologies. Controlled by output current or voltage feedback and setpoint adjustment
through potentiometers or by input signals (0-5 V, 0-10 V or 0/4-20 mA) from an external PLC or μC.

All the configuration and monitorization of the system is accessible with an on-board LCD user interface and, optionally, a
remote graphical user interface using its serial communication port. Furthermore using its autoset function its capable to
detect and autocorrect the phase rotation, and determine the connection order of SCRs and mains frequency.

This circuit also provides protection against overcurrent, independently configurable soft start and stop time, lock input by
external relay, a fault output dry relay, inhibition logic input, possibility of a shunt current feedback, current transformer
direct feedback, direct alpha control, digital and analog control of setpoints, etc.

For a complete explanation of all the functions and configurations available please refer to the “SC6006: Manual of
operation” .

SC6006 main applications are those where you need a safe control for large currents through thyristors, for example
surfaced treatments, electrolytic process, ovens, lightening, etc.
