30 amps continuous, 70 amps peak
Current fold back when heat sinks gets hot
Reverse polarity protected
Conformal coated for water/corrosion resistance
PWM output, continuously variable speed from stop to full forward and stop to full reverse.
Regenerative braking
Output for magnetic brake assembly coil
Compact circuit board approx. 3.75" X 5.5".
Utilizes 7 power hexfets. 3 for motor control, 3 for regenerative braking and 1 for an optional magnetic brake coil control.
Controllable manually with only 1 single component- a standard 5K linear potentiometer or by applying a control voltage between the "pot wiper" (PW) terminal and ground.
On 24 volt controllers only: Acceleration and deceleration are fully adjustable to your preferences. This means that if you suddenly apply a full forward or reverse control signal your robot, wheelchair, or electric scooter will not attempt to do a "wheely" (unless you want it to). The acceleration, forward or reverse will always be smooth, yet still rapid.
All you need to try it is to connect +V (12 or 24 volts), a ground, 2 connections to a motor, 1 connection to a start lead and 3 connections to a control potentiometer.
Controllable by a BS1 or BS2 via the PWMOUT command. (See programs and schematics elsewhere on this site.)
All controllers are brand new. They are designed, primarily, as motor controllers for electric scooters, small golf carts, wheelchairs etc.
24V controllers may be now ordered with the single ended throttle option. What this means that instead of the normal throttle pot operation (center = off, right of center = forward, left of center = reverse with the distance from center determining speed, the single ended throttle pot operation works in the following manner: Full CCW = off, full CW = full speed. Controller is normally in the "forward" mode. To get into the "reverse" mode, 2 terminals on the board are shorted together either by a switch or electronically. To use as a unidirectional controller, just don't connect the forward-reverse switch.
FLASH! If you have a 2 wheel scooter or an electric bicycle and you want to upgrade to a larger (30A continuous) controller, consider using the MCIPC24. For a really hefty controller (50A continuous, 100A peak), check out the MCIPC50A controller.
