Features

ACS is a flexible standard platform
  • Power levels 4-80 kVA and nominal voltages 24-96 V
  • Supports AC induction, AC synchronous and brushless DC motors
  • Application software can be configured by you or Inmotion
  • ARM Processor capable of parallel execution of motor control and customized vehicle control tasks
  •  Auto-tuning functionality for pairing the controller with a motor already installed in a vehicle
  • Support for traction, pump or generator applications, including functions such as hill-hold, programmable braking/acceleration characteristics and dual traction
  • CAN communication, J1939 and/or CANopen (slave or master) with support for diagnostics and software download
  • CANopen (Slave or master) with support for diagnostics and software download

Monitoring of operation for optimal performance

  • I/O version allows vehicle control to reside in the ACS, directly interfacing vehicle sensors and actuators 
  • State-of-the-art vector control with optimal efficiency throughout the full speed range

Safety and protection

  • Supports safety functions according to ISO13849-1 category 2, PL= c/d
  • Dual motor feedback channels facilitate sensor cross-monitoring
  • Dual CPUs (option) allow for category 3 safety functions, PL = c/d
  • Limitation of the output as a function of motor speed, motor and controller temperature, battery voltage, DC power, DC current and/or motor torque to protect powertrain components.
  • Overvoltage protection for PM machines with high back-EMF (available on selected ACS models)
