RHINO MOTION CONTROLS
RMCS-3002
Brushless DC motor Driver 50W
(Max. 30VDC and 3A per phase)
Power supply Selection:
The general rule of thumb to get the most out of the motor is to drive it with a supply
voltage that is at-least 3 to 4 times its rated supply voltage. A DC regulated power supply
with good low-ESR decoupling capacitors on its output is recommended for best
performance of this drive.
Chapter 4: Trouble Shooting:
Self testing:
The user can self test the driver if the power supply section is OK (if green LED glows).
For self testing connect the motor phase properly and make sure that LED status is
correct. Supply the 3.3v/5V to enable pin to enable the rotation of motor shaft. Also
change the current settings in potentiometer if necessary. Current setting
potentiometer is provided inside the drive. You need to remove the top to change the
current gain. Speed can be altered using external potentiometer. Also check whether
direction and Brake states are working by connecting the corresponding pins to +5V
with respect to ground. These are the steps to check the basic functionality of a drive.
