AEG PC-0984-780
Product Name: AEG PC-0984-780 Power Control Board / Electronic Control Module
Product Introduction:
The AEG PC-0984-780 is an electronic power control board used in AEG domestic appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, dryers) for motor speed control, water valve actuation, and heating element regulation. It serves as the central command unit for appliance operation cycles.
Model Series: PC-0984 Series
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Board Dimensions: 180 mm × 120 mm × 2.0 mm
- Layer Count: 2-layer FR-4
- Input Voltage: 230V AC / 50 Hz (single-phase)
- Output Drivers: 3 triac outputs (8A / 400V) + 2 relay outputs (16A / 250V)
- Motor Control: Universal motor speed control via phase-angle triac dimming
- Heater Output: 2300W max (via zero-crossing triac)
- Water Valve Output: 24V AC solenoid (500 mA)
- Display Interface: 7-segment LED driver (4 digits)
- User Inputs: 5 push-button inputs (optocoupler isolated)
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to +70°C
- Protection Rating: IP20 (board level, housed in appliance)
- Firmware: Stored in on-board EPROM (27C256, 32KB)
Functional Features:
- Programmable cycle selection via EPROM-stored wash/rinse/spin profiles
- Water level detection via pressure switch input (dry contact)
- Door interlock monitoring (safety lock input)
- Imbalance detection for spin cycle (vibration sensor input)
- Error code display via 7-segment LED
Material Composition:
- Substrate: FR-4 (TG135)
- Copper Weight: 35 µm
- Surface Finish: HASL lead-free
- Key ICs: Triac driver (MOC3021 optotriac), MCU (8-bit OTP), Voltage regulator (7805)
Working Principle:
AC mains is fed through an EMI filter to the triac-based power stage. The MCU reads user inputs and sensor states, then fires triacs at precise phase angles to control motor speed and heater power. The zero-crossing detector ensures clean switching. The EPROM contains all program logic for appliance cycles.
Advantages & Highlights:
- Fully isolated user interface — optocoupler separation between high-voltage and low-voltage sections
- Self-diagnostic capability — reports 12 distinct error codes
- Universal motor compatible — works with both AC and DC universal motors
- Compact design fits standard appliance control cavities
Applicable Industries:
- Washing machines (front-load and top-load)
- Dishwashers
- Tumble dryers
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on vibration-damping rubber grommets inside appliance chassis
- Route all high-voltage wiring through separated cable channels from low-voltage signals
- Connect waterproof connectors for any external sensor wiring
Usage Precautions:
- Replace with identical part number PC-0984-780 — EPROM firmware is not interchangeable
- Verify door interlock continuity before energizing
- Do not bypass any safety input circuits (door lock, water level)
- Perform insulation test (500V DC megger) after installation
