Roboteq's GBL26xx is a feature‑packed, high‑current, dual or single channel controller for brushless Permanent Magnets AC or DC Synchronous motors. The controller also uses the Hall sensor and/or most types of Encoders to capture the Rotor position and measure traveled distance. The motors may be operated in open or closed loop speed mode, position mode or in torque mode. The GBL26xx features several Analog, Pulse and Digital I/Os which can be remapped as command or feedback inputs, limit switches, or many other functions. The GBL26xx accepts commands received from an RC radio, Analog Joystick, wireless modem, or microcomputer. For mobile robot applications, the controller’s two motor channels can either be operated independently or mixed to move and steer a vehicle. Using CAN bus, up to 127 controllers can be networked at up to 1Mbit/s on a single twisted pair. An optional Ethernet port with PC allows the connection to PLCs and TCP/IP networks.
