RTQ-MDC1460 RoboteQ MDC1460 Single Channel 120A Brushed DC Motor Controller <font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Description<br>Roboteq's MDC14xx controller is designed to convert commands received from an RC radio, Analog Joystick, wireless modem, PC (via RS232 or USB) or microcomputer into high voltage and high current output for driving one or two DC motors. Designed for maximal ease-of-use, it is delivered with all necessary hardware and is ready to use in minutes.<p>The controller features a high-performance 32-bit microcomputer and quadrature encoder inputs to perform advanced motion control algorithms in Open Loop or Close Loop (Speed or Position) modes. The MDC14xx features several Analog, Pulse and Digital I/Os which can be remapped as command or feedback inputs, limit switches, or many other functions. The controller's two motor channels can either be operated independently or mixed to set the direction and rotation of a vehicle by coordinating the motion of each motor. Numerous safety features are incorporated into the controller to ensure reliable and safe operation.<p>The controller's operation can be extensively automated and customized using Basic Language scripts. The controller can be reprogrammed in the field with the latest features by downloading new operating software from Roboteq.<p>Applications<p>- Industrial Automation<br>- Fan & Pump control<br>- Winch & Cranes<br>- Personal transportation<br>- Automatic Guided Vehicles<br> -Terrestrial and Underwater Robotic Vehicles<br>- Automated machines<br>- Telepresence Systems<br>- Animatronics<p>Specifications<br>Motor Type Brushed DC<br>Max Voltage 60<br>Number of Channels 1<br>Direction Forward/Reverse<br>Max Amps per Channel 120<br>Continuous Amps per Channel 60<br>ON Resistance (mOhm) 6<br>Power Connections Fast on<br>Analog Yes<br>RS232 Yes<br>USB Yes<br>CANbus Yes<br>RC Pulse Yes<br>MicroBasic Scripting Yes<br>Control Loop (ms) 1<br>Regenerative braking Yes<br>Max Analog Inputs 4<br>Max Digital Inputs 6<br>Digital Outputs 2<br>Max Pulse Inputs 5<br>Encoder Yes<br>Cooling Conduction plate<br>Dimensions 140mm x 140mm x 25mm<br>Weight 250g<br></p></font>
