Introduction
The 2 kilowatt DC Motor Controller provides torque and velocity control of large brushed DC motors. The device can be configured and commanded over a CAN bus. Additionally, sensor feedback over CAN can be performed automatically at 100 Hz or asynchronously upon request. The motor controller protects itself against overcurrent and overheating faults. If a temperature probe mounted on the motor is connected, the motor controller will protect against the motor overheating as well.

Power ratings The 2 Kilowatt designation refers to the maximum power output when using a 24V power supply. The motor controller is designed to operate at up to 65V, at which point it should be capable of delivering about 5.8 kW to a motor. However, it has not been tested at voltages above 24V.
