Dual Channel  
Forward/Reverse  
Digital Robot Controller  
with Optical Encoder Inputs  
2 x 60 SmartAmps  
for Computer Guided and  
Remote Controlled Robotic Vehicles  
Roboteqs AX3500 controller is a product family designed  
Key Features  
Benefits  
to convert commands received from a R/C radio, Analog  
Joystick, wireless modem, or microcomputer into high volt-  
age and high current output for driving one or two DC  
motors. Designed for maximal ease-of-use in OEM applica-  
tions, it is delivered with all necessary cables and hardware  
and is ready to use in minutes.  
Dual MCU digital  
design  
Accurate, reliable, and fully programma-  
ble operation. Advanced algorithms  
R/C mode support  
Connects directly to simple, low cost R/  
C radios  
RS232 Serial mode  
support  
Connects directly to computers for  
autonomous operation or to wireless  
modem for two-way remote control  
The controller's two channels can either be operated inde-  
pendently or mixed to set the direction and rotation of a  
vehicle by coordinating the motion on each side of the vehi-  
cle. The motors may be operated in open or closed loop  
speed mode. Using low-cost position sensors, they may  
also be set to operate as heavy-duty position servos.  
Analog mode support  
Optical encoder inputs  
Connects directly to analog joystick  
Stable speed regardless of load. Accu-  
rate measurement of travelled distance  
Built-in power drivers  
for two motors  
Supports all common robot drive meth-  
ods  
60A output per channel Gives robot strongest lifting or pushing  
power  
The AX3500 may be ordered in one of many assembly  
options, depending whether optical encoder input is  
needed and depending on the application’s power, number  
of channels, and thermal requirements.  
Programmable current  
limitation  
Protects controller, motors, wiring and  
battery.  
Open loop or closed  
loop speed control  
Low cost or higher accuracy speed con-  
trol  
The AX2550 can be reprogrammed in the field with the lat-  
est features by downloading new operating software from  
Roboteqs web site. Numerous safety features are incorpo-  
rated into the controller to ensure reliable and safe opera-  
tion in the most demanding mobile robotic vehicle  
applications.  
Closed loop position  
control  
Create low cost, ultra-high torque  
jumbo servos  
Data Logging Output  
Capture operating parameters in PC or  
PDA for analysis  
Built-in DC/DC con-  
verter  
Operates from a single 12V-40V battery  
Field upgradable soft-  
ware  
Never obsolete. Add features via the  
internet
