EM-347B Brushless Motor Driver with Modbus RS-485

Key Features

  • Brushless DC motor driver with hall sensor feedback
  • True 4-quadrant power stage with regenerative braking capability
  • Adjustable acceleration and deceleration ramps
  • Open-loop and closed-loop speed control modes
  • Digital inputs for direction, brake, start/stop and disable
  • Analog control inputs for speed and current
  • Two NPN outputs for fault and overcurrent indication
  • Modbus RS-485 communication (B-version) for full remote control
  • Optional cooling fan with automatic thermal activation

Overview

EM-347B is a brushless DC motor driver featuring hall sensor feedback, an efficient MOSFET power stage, and compatibility with 120° commutation. The true 4-quadrant power stage enables regenerative braking: during braking the supply voltage rises, which can be controlled with a braking resistor, or redirected back into the battery in battery-powered systems.

The device includes essential digital inputs such as direction, brake, start/stop and disable, along with filtered analog inputs for speed and current control. A digitally presettable second speed (speed-2) can be activated via command input.

The EM-347B includes two NPN indication outputs for fault and overcurrent. All fault conditions such as overvoltage, undervoltage and overtemperature are also indicated via an on-board LED.

Control Features and Options

Overtemperature and current limit events can be reset using a reset input, reset timer, or by setting speed command to zero. Two control methods are available:

  • Open loop: motor voltage follows the input control voltage
  • Closed loop: hall sensor feedback provides accurate speed regulation

Start/stop ramps operate in both modes, and all ranges and ramp values are fully adjustable. The analog inputs accept filtered PWM signals, allowing PWM-based control of speed and current.

B-Version Additional Features

  • Shutdown control input for low power consumption mode
  • RS-485 Modbus RTU for remote configuration and control
  • Enhanced stop braking modes:
    • “Stop brake” mode — motor phases shorted for high holding torque
    • “Hold current” mode — generates strong holding torque actively
  • Optional cooling fan output (activates above 65°C)

Parameter Setting

Configuration can be done using the EM-236 interface unit or the PC software Emen-Tool Lite together with the EM-268 adapter cable. All parameters are stored in non-volatile memory, and motor current and RPM can be monitored in real time.

Installation

The EM-347B can be mounted on a DIN-rail base, and enclosure options are available for different industrial integration needs.
