Inputs for two Quadrature Optical Encoders
•
up to 250khz Encoder frequency per channel
•
two 32-bit up-down counters
• Inputs may be shared with four optional limit switches per channel
Internal Sensors
• Voltage sensor for monitoring the main 12 to 40V battery system operation
•
Voltage monitoring of internal 12V
•
Temperature sensors on the heat sink of each power output stage
•
Sensor information readable via RS232 port
Low Power Consumption
•
On board DC/DC converter for single 12 to 40V battery system operation
• Optional backup power input for powering safely the controller if the motor batteries
are discharged
• Max 200mA at 12V or 100mA at 24V idle current consumption
• Power Control wire for turning On or Off the controller from external microcomputer
or switch
•
No power consumed by output stage when motors are stopped
•
Regulated 5V output for powering R/C radio. Eliminates the need for separate R/C
battery
High Efficiency Motor Power Outputs
