MDL-BDC

The MDL-BDC is a Luminary Micro's Stellaris brushed DC motor control module with CAN offers a variable speed control for 12V brushed DC motors at up to 40A continuous current. The motor control module includes high performance Controller Area Network connectivity and a rich set of control options and sensor interfaces, including analog and quadrature encoder interfaces. The high frequency PWM on the MDL-BDC enables DC motors to run smoothly and quietly over a wide speed range. The module uses highly optimized software and a powerful 32bit Stellaris microcontroller to implement open loop speed control as well as closed loop control of speed, position, or motor current. The Stellaris MDL-BDC is powered by the LM3S2616 microcontroller, featuring CAN and advanced motion control capabilities.
