NDrive Z1

Production Ready

The NDrive Z1 is a versatile brushless motor driver designed for controlling BLDC motors. Featuring a CAN Interface, it can be easily connected to the NLink Adapter, allowing you to control and configure the driver seamlessly with our Software SDKs.

Specifications

• FOC Control-based BLDC Motor Controller
• Input Voltage Range: 12V - 48V (can handle Peak upto 56V)
• Current Rating:
  • 20A Continuous (ambient conditions, can be increased with sufficient active cooling)
  • 55A peak (for 2 seconds)
• Compact Size of 52x52 mm
• Support multiple control modes: Position, Velocity, Torque, Trapezoidal Trajectory & Ramped Velocity.
• Has an on-board 14 bit Absolute Magnetic encoder - MA732
• Supports connecting two external encoders: One Incremental (ABZ Interface) and One absolute (SPI Interface).
• Has Dual encoder mode: Uses any two of the connected encoders during operation.
• Supports External Brake Resistor to dump regenerative currents in case the power supply can't handle them.
• Supports External Motor Thermistor to make sure that the motor remains in safe thermal limits during operation.
• Has an inbuilt thermistor near the MOSFETs to make sure that the driver remains in the safe thermal limits during the operation.
• CAN 2.0B @500kBps (1Mbps Comming soon)
• Has onboard CAN Termination resistor which can be set by using the onboard DIP switch.
• Has Daisy Chainable CAN Bus Interface. Provides hassle free connection with other CAN components including our NMotion Components.
• Can be easily configured & controlled by using our Python / C++ SDKs and NMotion CLI Tool
