Vehicle Power Generator Controllers

Our generator controllers are built for rugged use in the most demanding commercial and defense environments. Available in both low- and high-voltage versions, they deliver a wide, constant power range thanks to our advanced field-weakening technology. Modular architecture allows for easy expansion as your vehicle’s needs evolve. We offer controllers as individual components or matched with in-vehicle generators as a complete power platform.

AC Superdrive (ACS) GEN6 Low-Voltage Controllers

  • Voltages from 24-80V and power levels from 5 to 50kVA
  • Standard features such as hill-hold, programmable braking/acceleration characteristics, and best performance curve, are supported in firmware
  • Optimal efficiency through state-of-the-art AC technology with flux vector control
  • Supports AC induction, AC synchronous, brushless DC motors
  • Selected models have optional series DC motor output
  • Small physical size, available with finned or flat heat sink for flexible integration
  • Available as I/O version (35pin interface) or CAN slave (23 pin interface) version
  • I/O version allows vehicle control to reside in the ACS, directly interfacing vehicle logic
  • Integrated CAN bus with support for diagnostics and software download
  • Peer to peer communication allows master-less communication between nodes on CAN bus
  • Rugged design with best-in-class quality and reliability

 
ACH200 Three-Phase Controllers:

  • Operation up to 800 VDC bus voltage to meet the needs of larger hybrid vehicles
  • Chassis or frame mounting
  • Liquid cooled
  • CAN communication, J1939 and / or CANopen
  • Three-phase permanent magnet motor or induction motor control
  • Both generator and motor operational mode
  • Resolver feedback
  • Speed, torque and voltage operation (closed current loop)
  • Motor/generator and heat sink temperature supervision
  • Selectable switching frequency 1, 4, 8 kHz
  • Hazardous voltage Interlock
  • Total software configurability for reproducible performance
