MOOG T161 Series Rack Mount Digital Brushless Motor Controller

MOOG T161 Series Rack Mount Digital Brushless Motor Controller

The Moog T161 series is a 6U standard 19 inch rack mounted digital brushless motor controller based on microprocessors, supporting 1-6 axis PCB backplane configurations. Its core features include sine wave three-phase drive, programmable speed/current control, and rotary transformer feedback system. It is equipped with RS232/RS485 serial port and can be easily set up and debugged through handheld terminals and WinDrive/MOOGTERM software; We offer 4 models (T161-901 to -904) with continuous output current of 3.0-12.0A rms and peak output of 5.0-40.0A rms. They support single-phase/three-phase 220VAC direct power supply and have multiple protection functions such as overcurrent, short circuit, and overtemperature. The optional expansion function card (including encoder simulator) is suitable for industrial scenarios that require precise motor control. The working temperature range is 0 ° -55 ℃, and the minimum requirement for heat dissipation airflow is 300 C.F.M.
