This type of decentralized controller has a very small footprint and, depending on the type, can be connected to supply voltages between 12-60Vdc. The controllers can control DC motors and BLDC motors and deliver currents up to 160A. In addition to speed control, flow control and position control is possible. The units are equipped with EtherCAT and CAN bus interface to communicate with a higher-level control system that VARIODRIVE can also supply.
