Roboteq introduces the SBL2360, a compact intelligent controller capable of driving two brushless DC motor up to 30Amps each at up to 60V. The controller’s two channels can be operated independently or combined to set the direction and rotation of a vehicle by coordinating the motors on each side (tank-like steering).

The controller includes up to 8 analog, 10 digital and 6 pulse inputs. Four 1A digital outputs are provided for activating lights, valves, brakes or other accessories. The SBL2360 accepts commands received from an RC radio, analog Joystick, wireless modem, PLC or microcomputer. Using CAN bus, up to 127 controllers can be networked at up to 1Mbit/s on a single twisted pair.

The controller’s operation can be optimized using nearly 80 configurable parameters, such as programmable acceleration or deceleration, amps limits, operating voltage range, use of I/O, and more. A free PC utility is available for configuring, tuning and exercising the motor.

Roboteq’s SBL2360 is suited for use in Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV’s), Warehouse Automation Robots, Police/Military Robots, or any other medium-power brushless motor control application.
