The Roboclaw 2x15A is a motor controller board designed for controlling two brushed DC motors with a continuous current rating of up to 15 amps each. It is a product of Ion Motion Control, a company that specializes in manufacturing motor controllers for robotics and automation applications.
The Roboclaw 2x15A board uses a high-performance STM32 microcontroller and a dual-channel motor driver IC to provide reliable and precise control over the connected motors. It supports a wide range of input voltage (6V to 30V) and features built-in protection circuits such as overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage protection.
The board can be controlled using several communication protocols such as USB, serial, RC, and analog. A user-friendly configuration software that allows users to configure the motor controller is available for free to set PID control parameters and monitor motor performance in real time.
The Robolaw 2x15A is compatible with the Robotic Operating System (ROS) for advanced robot operation. These motor drivers are recommended for use with our high-performance planetary gear motors.
Inputs and Peripherals:
RoboClaw automatically supports 3.3V or 5V logic levels, travel limit switches, home switches, emergency stop switches, power supplies, braking systems and contactors. Power supplies can be used by enabling the built-in voltage clamping control feature. A built-in switching mode BEC supplies 5VDC at up to 3 Amp for powering user devices.
Encoder Support:
Dual quadrature encoders with up to 19.6 million pulses per second are supported and can be auto-tuned using Motion Studio which is a free downloadable application. In addition, a wide range of sensor inputs including potentiometers and absolute encoders are supported. RoboClaw’s closed-loop functionality creates absolute control over speed, velocity and direction regardless of load changes.
Protection Features:
RoboClaw incorporates several protection features including temperature, current, over voltage and under voltage limits. The protection features are self-monitoring and protect the RoboClaw motor controller from damage in any operating condition. Several user-definable settings such as maximum current limit and maximum and minimum battery voltages are provided for more refined control.
Autotuning and Parameter Adjustment:
Motion Studio Allows you to modify motor driver parameters to suit your application. Settings such as control methods, battery cut-off, and channel mixing can be adjusted here.
