Choice of
Motor Technologies
The Gen4 controllers are designed for controlling both AC
Asynchronous motors and PM Synchronous motors. This feature
allows users to select optimal motor solutions for any
application. Both UVW and encoder AB inputs are provided for
maximum flexibility.
Integrated
I/O
This unit includes a cost-effective, fully integrated set of
inputs and outputs (I/O) designed to handle a wide range of
vehicle requirements. This eliminates the need for additional
external I/O modules or vehicle controllers and connectors,
Self-characterization
Sevcon’s unique Self Characterization capability enables
Gen4-series controllers to automatically define and optimize
parameters for the AC motor. This feature provides quick set-up
and allows customers to select motor suppliers of their choice
without worry-ing about compatibility between controller and
motor.
Fully
CANopen Compliant
These controllers come standard with
CANopen. This allows easy inter-connection of controllers and
other devices such as displays and driver controls. CANopen also
allows the user to wire the vehicle to best suit vehicle layout
since inputs such as the throttle can be connected to any of the
controllers on the vehicle and the demand value will be passed
over the CAN-open bus to the relevant motor controller. |
