The Sevcon Gen5 provides a highly adaptable solution for motor control applications. The Size9 variant runs at up to 400V input and can provide a peak current output of 400A. The unit supports regenerative braking to reduce power consumption. A fully isolated logic and IO circuit allows for total separation of the high and low power system buses to improve safety and reliability. High voltage power connections are sealed with a protective cover and cable glands to maximize IP protection and touch safety. The revolutionary new "User Code" feature allows for further customization.
Recommended Applications:
The High Voltage Gen5 range of motor controllers is suitable for applications including:
- Ideal for high powered automotive applications including cars, light commercial and bus and truck.
- Separate operating modes allow for the unit to act as a fully fledged VCU master or as a simple torque slave unit.
- Specifically designed with a high level of functional safety in mind.
Communication:
The Gen5 supports configuration, calibration, control and status monitoring over a CAN bus. Fully and partially supported communications protocols include:
- CANopen
- J1939
- Sevcon H and I Protocol
- UDS
- Custom communication protocols using the "User Code" feature
To take full advantage of the features of CAN communication on a Sevcon product, an IXXAT CAN to USB device with Sevcon DVT Software subscription will be required.
Ingress Protection:
The Sevcon Gen5 range is IP66 rated, providing total protection against dust ingress and protection against water ingress during high powered pressure washing.
Motor Support:
The Gen5 range provides support for the following motor types:
- PMAC
- Induction machine
Encoder Support:
The Gen5 range provides support for the following sensor types:
- AB
- UVW
- Sin/Cos
- Resolver
Connectivity:
Power connections are made through M10 terminal posts. This includes the DC link from a battery or other source and 3-phase output to the motor.
Signal connections are made through a 48-Way CNC connector. Signal connections include:
- 1x Encoder connection (power supply and signal connections)
- 2x CAN bus connection (termination available)
- 4x Configurable digital inputs
- 4x Configurable analogue inputs
- 2x Configurable contactor driver outputs
- 2x Thermistor input
- 5V and 10V power supply outputs rated for 200mA supply each
- Automotive standard key-switch/ignition inputs
- High voltage interlocks
