Ratings and limits
Electrical
|
Value |
| Supply voltage |
12 to 29 V DC, 24 V typical; 10 V absolute minimum |
| Vbus error limits (firmware) |
below 9 V or above #Vmax, 29 V after #Default |
| Phase current, continuous |
1.5 A typical |
| Phase current, maximum |
2.8 A (#Ilim is clamped to 2800 mA; Send_Limits over CAN is not, so never send more); needs good cooling and short bursts |
| Power, maximum |
80 W |
| Power, idle |
0.3 W |
| PWM frequency |
25 kHz |
| Control loop frequency |
5 kHz |
| Electrical frequency, maximum |
500 Hz |
| Current sensing |
inline, on two phases |
| Encoder |
14-bit magnetic, 16384 ticks per revolution, diametrical magnet 1 mm above the chip |
| UART |
3.3 V, 256000 baud by default (1 000 000 tested) |
| CAN |
CAN 2.0, 1 Mbit/s, 11-bit identifiers, node IDs 0 to 13 (14 and 15 are reserved by the bootloader), 120 Ω termination by switch |
| Thermistor input |
100 kΩ NTC, 54.9 kΩ pull-down |
| PIN |
analog input or general-purpose input/output, 3.3 V |
| Driver stage protection |
hardware overcurrent (trips at 3 to 5 A), undervoltage lockout (6.3 to 8 V) and thermal shutdown (150 to 180 °C); shown as a driver error |
Reversing the polarity on DC+ and DC− destroys the board.
Thermal and environmental
|
Value |
| Operating temperature of the board |
−20 to 130 °C |
| Motor temperature limit (firmware, with the thermistor) |
75 °C by default (#Tlim), −20 °C minimum |
Mechanical
|
Value |
| Dimensions |
39 × 39 mm |
| Mass |
8 g |
| Mounting |
four holes on the NEMA 17 pattern, 31 mm apart; the encoder chip in the middle of the board |
Firmware limits
|
Value |
| Position |
signed 24-bit over CAN (±8.4 million ticks, ±512 revolutions), 32-bit internally |
| Speed |
signed 24-bit over CAN, encoder ticks per second |
| Current setpoint |
signed 16-bit over CAN, mA |
| Motors the calibration defaults are made for |
a phase resistance of 2 to 24 Ω |
| Configuration |
kept in the EEPROM with #Save / Send_Save_config |
The defaults of every setting are listed in the Defaults reference.
