Kelly KSL Brushless Motor Controller

General Functions

• Extended fault detection and protection. The LED flashing pattern indicates the fault sources.
• 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°C case temperature, shutting down at 100°C.
• 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.
• Reversing switch. Closing to ground is to activate.
• 0-5V: Default to throttle input.
• Optional CAN bus. (temporary unavailable)
• Optional supply voltage 8V-30V.

Features

• Intelligence with powerful microprocessor.
• Synchronous rectification, ultra low drop and fast PWM to achieve very high efficiency.
• Current limit .
• Battery current limiting available, doesn’t affect taking off performance.
• Configurable limit for motor current.
• Low EMC.
• LED fault code.
• Battery protection: current cutback, warning and shutdown at configurable high and low battery voltage.
• Rugged aluminum housing for maximum heat dissipation and harsh environment.
• Rugged high current terminals, and rugged aviation connectors for small signal.
• Thermal protection: current cut back, warning and shutdown at high temperature.
• Current multiplication: Take less current from battery, output more current to motor.
• Easy installation: 3-wire potentiometer will work.
• Motor stall protection
• Up to 17,000 electric RPM. (Electric RPM=mechanical RPM * motor poles)
• Standard PC/Laptop computer is used to do programming. No special tools needed.
• User program provided. Easy to use. No cost to customers.
