FIM2360
Roboteq’s FIM2360 is a features-packed, high-current, dual
or single channel controller for AC Induction motors. The
controller can operate in one of several modes in order to
sense the rotor position and sequence power on the motors’
3 windings in order to generate smooth continuous rotation.
The controller also uses the Encoder information to compute
speed and mea- sure travelled distance inside a 32-bit counter.
The motors may be operated in open or closed loop speed or
torque modes.The FIM2360 features several Analog, Pulse
and Digital I/Os which can be remapped as command or
feedback inputs, limit switches, or many other functions. The
FIM2360 accepts com- mands 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 inde- pendently 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 Lan- guage scripts. The controller can be configured,
monitored and tuned in realtime using a Roboteq’s free PC
utility. The control- ler can also be reprogrammed in the field
with the latest fea- tures by downloading new operating
software from Roboteq.
