Driver for Permanent magnet DC motors

Hello.

I want to control 2 motors. 24 V DC permanent magnet motors, 200W each from a electric wheelchair, preferibily with a Raspberry pi (PWM). I would like to know if the cytron MDDS30 is adqueate for this task.

Thank you very much

Hello @jsgpol4 ,

Welcome back to our forum.

Cytron MDDS30 can support motor voltage from 7V to 35VDC. Also, it can support maximum current up to 80A peak (1 second), 30A continuously, each channel.

Since you have 24VDC 200W motor, nominal current would be around 8A so MDDS30 is more than enough.

Also, MDDS30 supports RC, Analog/PWM, Serial Simplified and Serial Packetized so you should be able to control it via Raspberry Pi.

Feel free to ask anything else.

Hi Igor

Thank you very much for your answer.

I am trying to buy it, but at the moment It is sold out in Europe

Best regards

Jesús
