Product description
The AMKmotion RACING KIT consists of one or two 2WD inverter with integrated drive controllers and two or four synchronous servo motors. For startup, the kit contains the AMKmotion AIPEX PRO V3 software and a USB cable.
The torque at the servo motor is controlled subject to the setpoint (accelerator position). The setpoint for the inverters is specified via a higher-level CAN controller. The inverters can operate the servomotors in torque control (open loop) or speed control (closed loop) mode. Speed control versus torque control, the advantage of speed control is that the motor speed can be limited dynamically in addition to the limitation of the torque.
The inverters are operated with the AMKmotion 'Formula Student Electric' firmware. 'Formula Student Electric' is subsequently abbreviated in the documentation to 'FSE'.
Communication between the inverters and the higher-level controller takes place via a CAN bus 2.0 A (High-Speed CAN). For the CAN message exchange, you can use fixed messages (mode 'Fixed CAN message configuration') or a application-specific configuration (mode 'Free CAN message configuration').
The servo motors can be driven by a motor and a generator (recuperative).
Inverter overview
- Field-based regulation of permanent-magnet synchronous servo motors
- Speed control with torque limitation for motor and recuperative operation
- Temperature monitoring of the motor and inverter
