Segway PT Components and Subsystems (cont.)
Controller Boards
The two Controller Boards receive input from the PT’s Batteries, Motors, Rider
Detect Sensors, LeanSteer Sensors, rate, and tilt sensors. Based on this input,
the Controller Boards send commands to the Motors that turn the Wheels.
If the system senses a malfunction in a critical component or a Battery that is
depleted beyond its safe limit, the PT will perform a Safety Shutdown.
For more information on Safety Shutdown, see "Safety Shutdown" (p. 57).
