Advanced ESC Motor Controller for Robotic Systems

By Anete ImantaBlogs

Dronelab is pleased to share exciting news from a Dronelab partner company, a recognized innovator in robotics and wireless communication technology. They have officially launched their latest product, the TSY42 ESC Motor Controller. This state-of-the-art device is engineered to deliver exceptional efficiency, compactness, and precise control for brushless permanent magnet DC (BLDC) motors and thrusters utilized across various robotic platforms.

The TSY42 ESC Motor Controller is expertly designed to offer unmatched compact power and precision. Initially developed for the partner company’s own proprietary thrusters, it is also highly suitable for a wide range of other BLDC motors within the broader robotics and specialized equipment sectors. This advanced controller ensures smooth, quiet, and highly efficient performance for your motors.

Recognizing the need for miniaturization in modern robotics, the TSY42 is designed to fit into the smallest robotic vehicles. It features a stackable design compatible with a proprietary backplane, which significantly optimizes space constraints and simplifies cabling within complex systems. Furthermore, its multiple digital interfaces provide outstanding flexibility, allowing for straightforward integration into diverse system architectures. The TSY42 ESC Motor Controller can be controlled and monitored via RS485 serial bus, CAN bus, USB-C, or PWM signals.

Key Features of the TSY42 ESC Motor Controller:

  • Compact Design: Measuring just 83 x 62 x 12 mm and weighing only 80 grams, it is perfectly engineered for applications where minimal space and weight are critical design factors.
  • Wide Input Voltage Range: Supports input voltages ranging from 10 to 36 V, offering significant versatility across different power systems and battery configurations.
  • High Current Handling: Capable of robustly managing up to 25 A of continuous current, making it suitable for demanding propulsion and actuation tasks.
  • Flexible Communication Interfaces: Provides multiple options including RS485, CAN bus (configurable), USB-C (acting as a virtual serial port), and PWM for seamless integration.
  • Advanced Control Modes: Supports various sophisticated control strategies, including hall-sensor trapezoidal, hall-sensor Field-Oriented Control (FOC), sensorless trapezoidal, and sensorless FOC, along with a helpful self-calibration mode for easier setup.

A spokesperson for the Dronelab partner company commented on the motivation behind the launch: “Like many robotics developers, we experienced frustration with the lack of compact, efficient, and precise ESC motor controllers available on the market. This led us to develop one specifically for our own thrusters, meeting high-performance standards. The TSY42 ESC Motor Controller represents a significant advancement in motor control technology. Its compact size, high efficiency, and versatile integration capabilities make it an ideal solution for enhancing the performance of robotic systems and various equipment requiring precise BLDC motor control.”

This Dronelab partner company continues to push the boundaries of innovation, as evidenced by their recent developments in areas such as advanced underwater inspection ROVs equipped with proprietary wireless communication technology. The introduction of the TSY42 ESC Motor Controller further solidifies the partner company’s commitment to providing cutting-edge, reliable solutions for complex exploration, inspection, and operational tasks.
