The SmartDriveDuo Smart Dual Channel 60A Motor Driver is here! Building a combat/sumo robot becomes easy, choose motor+wheel, get high power battery, thick wire, connect it to MDDS60, choose an RC controller and you have a robot !
SmartDriveDuo60 has smart features of MDDS10, with higher continuous current capability, 60Amp each channel. It even has a brushless fan attached on the top cover to cool it! MDDS60 is ready with the capability to accept RC (Radio Control) signal for mix mode drive, analog voltage from potentiometer, PWM from microcontroller (Arduino, PIC, or any other microcontroller), and even controlled via UART (serial) command.
The operation modes is configure by the DIP switch on MDDS60. The commonly used configurations are printed on bottom cover. High current MOSFETs are switching at 16KHz for quiet operation.
With the on board temperature sensor, this smart driver is able to limit the output current stage by stage preventing itself from overheat and burnt! The peak current is 100A for 1 second and it will automatically limit the output current.
-
DC Brush motor Driver, not for brushless motor
-
Input Voltage (Motor): 7 - 45VDC
-
Single power operation, just connect power to battery input.
-
Dual Channels, it can drives two brush motor independently, or mixed.
-
Regenerative Braking.
-
Operating modes: RC (RC servo signal), Analog, PWM, simplified and packetized UART.
-
Support Signed magnitude and Locked Anti-phase in PWM mode.
-
Top cover comes with two DC brushless fans to cool the driver.
-
Two manual/test buttons for each channel.
-
Two output indicator LEDs for each channel.
-
Power, Error indicator, RUN status (Left and Right) LEDs
-
On board reset button to restart the MCU after changing operation mode.
-
Temperature feedback for current limit and prevent overheating of MOSFET.
-
Support up to 60A continuous current at room temperature.
-
Support up to 100A peak for 1 second. Current will be limited as temperature raises.
-
Suitable for combat or sumo robot.
-
16KHz switching frequency for quiet operation.
-
On board switching voltage regulator for higher power efficiency.
-
Battery low voltage monitoring mode.
-
We have tried this driver with single power window motor at 24V, full load without smoke coming out :)
-
NO polarity protection, please double check the power input connection.
-
Do use proper cable/wire for the battery and load, thin/normal cable/wire will melt and burn.
-
Dimension: ~190mm x 121mm x 45mm.
