Data Sheet
2 MBL1xxx Motor Controller Datasheet Version 1.2. December 25, 2013
• Selectable exponentiation factors for each command
inputs
• Trigger action if Analog, Pulse, Encoder or Hall counter
capture are outside user selectable range (soft limit
switches)
• Open loop or closed loop speed control operation
• Closed loop position control with encoder, analog or
pulse/frequency feedback
• PID control loop
• Support for CANopen and two simplified CAN protocols
• Configurable Data Logging of operating parameters on
RS232 Output for telemetry or analysis
• Built-in Battery Voltage and Temperature sensors
• Optional 12V backup power input for powering safely the
controller if the main motor batteries are discharged
• Power Control wire for turning On or Off the controller
from external microcomputer or switch
• No consumption by output stage when motors stopped
• Regulated 5V output for powering RC radio, RF Modem
or microcomputer
• Separate Programmable acceleration and deceleration
for each motor
• Ultra-efficient 1.5 mOhm (MBL16xx) or 3.0mOhm
(MBL13xx) ON resistance MOSFETs
• Auto stop if no motion is detected
• Stall detection and selectable triggered action if Amps is
outside user-selected range
• Short circuit protection with selectable sensitivity levels
• Overvoltage and Undervoltage protection
• Watchdog for automatic motor shutdown in case of
command loss
• Overtemperature protection
• Diagnostic LED
• Efficient heat sinking using conduction bottom plate.
