The MAB Robotics MD20 v1.0 Motor Controller is a powerful and versatile solution for motor control in various robotics applications. It offers a high voltage of up to 48V DC and a peak current of 20A, making it ideal for use in mobile platforms and complex robotic systems. With its compact design (∅35 mm) and a weight of only 6 g, the MD20 is easy to integrate and is perfect for projects where space and weight are crucial.
This motor controller is equipped with an FDCAN interface that allows speeds of up to 8 Mbps, ensuring easy integration into existing systems. The MD20 supports simple configuration with CANdle and CANdle HAT, allowing seamless use with ROS and ROS2 drivers as well as C++ and Python libraries. The flexibility of the controller is enhanced by various motion modes such as position and velocity (PID + profile), impedance (PD), and torque (PI), designed for different requirements in robotics.
Additionally, the MD20 features an onboard 14-bit absolute encoder, enabling precise position measurements. The controller also provides additional connectors for external on-axis and off-axis ring encoders, as well as for brake and limit switches, making it easy to adapt to various applications. This makes the MAB Robotics MD20 an excellent choice for robotics projects, including legged robots, exoskeletons, ROVs, UGVs, AGVs, drones, wheeled platforms, and cobots.
