Kit Overview

The Stellaris® Brushed DC Motor Control Module with CAN (MDL-BDC24MDL-BDC24) improves on the highly successful MDL-BDCMDL-BDC design by providing variable speed control for both 12 V and 24 V brushed DC motors at up to 40A continuous current, while adding a new RS232-based serial control input that also functions as a serial-to-CAN bridge. The MDL-BDC24MDL-BDC24 includes a rich set of sensor interfaces, connectivity, and control options, including analog and quadrature encoder interfaces, high performance Controller Area Network (CAN) interfaces, and an RS232 port. The module uses highly optimized software and a powerful 32-bit Stellaris® microcontroller to implement open-loop voltage control as well as closed-loop control of speed, position, or motor current.

The H-bridge on the MDL-BDC24MDL-BDC24 is run at high-frequency through the MCU's integrated PWM interface and enables DC motors to run smoothly and quietly over a wide speed range. The MDL-BDC24MDL-BDC24 uses highly optimized software and a powerful 32-bit Stellaris microcontroller to implement open-loop speed control as well as closed-loop control of speed, position, or motor current.

Key Applications: Motor Control, Security, Connectivity, Human Machine Interface (HMI), Industrial Automation.
