Product Description

Roboteq’s BL1500 controller is designed to convert commands received from a R/C radio, Analog Joystick, wireless modem, or microcomputer into high voltage and high current output for driving one Brushless motors. Designed for maximal ease-of-installation, it is delivered with all necessary cables and hardware and is ready to use in minutes.

The controller includes a header with 3 Hall Sensor inputs. The sensors are built into the motor and give position information of the rotor relative to the magnets. The controller uses that position information in order to energize the right motor winding and thus creating rotation. The controller will not work with Sensorless Brushless DC Motors.

The motor may be operated in open or closed loop speed mode. Using low-cost position sensors, they may also be set to operate as heavy-duty position servos. The controller can be reprogrammed in the field with the latest features by downloading new operating software from Roboteq

Technology Information

Detailed description of the technology and features of all AX-family controllers can be found on the Technology page. Note that only the single channel functions are supported since the BL1500 can only drive one motor.
