Brushed Motor Controller Roboteq 2 x 20A 60V - SDC 2160

Roboteq SDC 2160 Controller: no more freewheeling

This Roboteq controller consists of a drive system with a quadrature encoder and a 32-bit microcontroller. It is designed to drive 2 brushed DC motors (up to 20A and 60V per channel). It accepts numerous control signals: USB, RS232, analogue, and so on. These signals are converted into different voltage and output power levels, then transmitted to the motors. You can network up to 127 controllers on a single twisted pair cable thanks to CAN bus connecting.

Extended control over your motors’ performance

The SDC 2160 brushed motor controller generates advanced motion control algorithms in speed or position mode. This way, it can set the rotation of each channel with flexibility. For mobile robot applications in particular, the two motor channels can either be operated independently or synchronously, for instance to control a robotised vehicle.

The Roboteq SDC controller is fully configurable and can be programmed using a MicroBasic script editor. Roboteq has designed a free PC utility (a Pro version is available for a fee) to help you compile scripts and write lines of open source code for your SDC 2160 controller.
