Kelly KDHE High Efficient Series/PM Motor Controller

General Functions

• Extended fault detection and protection. The LED flashing pattern indicates the fault sources, and Green LED indicates normal operation. Controller will shut down in some fault conditions.
• Monitoring battery voltage. It will stop driving if the battery voltage is too high and it will progressively cut back motor drive power as battery voltage drops until it cuts out altogether at the preset “Low Battery Voltage” setting.
• Built-in current loop and over current protection.
• Configurable motor temperature protection range.
• Current cutback at low temperature and high temperature to protect battery and controller. The current begins to ramp down at 90°Ccase temperature, shutting down at 100°C.
• The controller keeps monitoring battery recharging voltage during regenerative braking, progressively cutting back current as battery voltage rises then cutting off regen altogether when voltage goes too high.
• Maximum reverse speed is configurable to half of the maximum forward speed.
• Configurable and programmable with a host computer though RS232 or USB. Provide free GUI which can run on Windows XP/2000, Windows 7 and Vista (recommend using Kelly Standard USB To RS232 Converter).
• Provision of a +5 volt output to supply various kinds of sensors, including Hall effect type.
• 3 switch inputs which are activated by connection to Ground. Default to throttle switch, brake switch and reversing switch.
• 3 analog 0-5V inputs that default to throttle input, brake input and motor temperature input.
• Pulsed reverse alarm output.
• Main contactor driver. Cutting off the power if any fault is detected.
• Maximum reverse power is configurable to half power.
• Configurable motor over-temperature detection and protection with the recommended thermistor KTY84-130. Optional CAN bus.
• Supply voltage 8V-30V.

Features
