Summary
- Exceptional motor controller for PMSM
- Advanced control & safety features that are highly configurable
- 96V Nominal, 300A RMS (2min)
- 227 x 138 x 73mm, 2.0kg
- IP66
- Isolated IO and logic (This is the key difference compared to Gen4)
Introduction
The Dragon8 sets a new standard in AC motor controller performance and reliability. It is compatible with a wide range of motors ? Asynchronous AC Induction and Synchronous Permanent Magnet AC (PMAC) or Brushless DC (BLDC).
Dragon8 has electrical isolation between high power battery/motor wiring and the lower voltage control signals and CANBus. This allows the IO to reference the 12 V (or 24 V) battery and vehicle chassis return path.
Features
- Integrated & isolated IO and logic circuit
- Supports AC Induction and PMAC/BLDC
- Isolated CAN communications bus allows for easy interconnection of controllers and devices such as Battery Management Systems, displays and VCUs
- CANopen and J1939 protocols
- Configurable as a vehicle control master or as a motor control slave
- Power up auto-check system fault diagnostics
- Programmable battery current limit
- IP66 protection
- Integrated power fuse holder
Integrated I/O
Dragon8 includes a fully integrated set of inputs and outputs (I/O) with vehicle control functionality, designed to handle a wide range of system requirements and functions. This frequently eliminates the need for additional external I/O modules, vehicle control units and connectors.
- Up to 6 digital inputs (3 inputs dual use as UVW encoder input)
- Up to 4 analogue input (2 analogue inputs dual use as Sin/Cos encoder input)
- Up to 2 contactor drivers
- Dedicated 5 V, 200 mA output
- Dedicated 10 V, 200 mA output
- Motor temperature sensor input
- Motor encoders supported include Resolver (programmable gain), UVW hall effect sensors, Sin/Cos sensors and incremental AB encoders
