RoboteQ FBL2360 Manual

Advanced Features
2 x 60A or 1 x 120A
Brushless DC
Motor Controller
with USB and CAN
RoboteQ's FBL2360 is a features-packed, high-current, dual
or single channel controller for brushless DC motors. The
controller can operate in one of several modes in order to
sense the rotor position and sequence power on the motor's
3 windings in order to generate smooth continuous rotation.
The controller also uses the Hall sensor and/or Encoder
information to compute speed and measure travelled distance
inside a 32-bit counter. The motors may be operated in open
or closed loop speed mode, position mode or in torque mode.
The FBL2360 features several Analog, Pulse and Digital I/
Os which can be remapped as command or feedback inputs,
limit switches, or many other functions. The FBL2360 accepts
commands received from an RC radio, Analog Joystick,
wireless modem, or microcomputer. For mobile robot
applications, the controller's two motor channels can either be
operated independently or mixed to move and steer a vehicle.
Using CAN bus, up to 127 controllers can be networked at up
to 1Mbit/s on a single twisted pair.
Numerous safety features are incorporated into the controller to
ensure reliable and safe operation. The controller's operation can
be extensively automated and customized using Basic Language
scripts. The controller can be configured, monitored and tuned
in real-time using a RoboteQ's free PC utility. The controller can
also be reprogrammed in the field with the latest features by
downloading new operating software from Roboteq.
