⚙️ Key Features
1. Dual Channel Independent/Mixed Control
The two channels can operate independently or be combined for differential steering control (tank-style steering), ideal for wheeled mobile robot platforms.
2. Advanced Motor Control Technology
-
Field Oriented Control (FOC): Supports FOC in sinusoidal mode for smoother, more efficient motor operation
-
Multiple Commutation Modes: Supports trapezoidal and sinusoidal commutation, compatible with different types of rotor position sensors
3. Flexible Programming & Configuration
-
Basic Script Programming: Write automated scripts using Basic language for complex custom control logic
-
PC Configuration Tool: RoboteQ provides free PC software for real-time configuration, monitoring, and debugging
-
Firmware Upgradeable: Supports field updates to access new features
4. Configurable Parameters
The controller offers nearly 80 configurable parameters, including:
-
Programmable acceleration/deceleration rates
-
Current limit values
-
Operating voltage range
-
I/O port function mapping
5. Precision Measurement
-
Calculates motor speed using Hall sensors and/or encoder feedback
-
32-bit counter for distance measurement, supporting odometry applications
