MC500D Brushless Motor Controller

This series of digital militarized low voltage, 2-Axis, Brushless Motor Controllers is designed to provide torque, velocity and position loop closure. The controller accepts command signals from any fire control system (FCS) in either digital or analog format, and interfaces with a control handle. The advanced space vector algorithms provide optimum performance for new or existing motors to provide outstanding power densities. The base of the controller has four sets of holes predrilled for use with isolation mounts. There is also a cold plate model available that has uprated current capabilities (400Apk/axis), see picture on page 2. Additionally, there are a wide range of end user programmable software features, as listed below.
