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

Key Features

  • Brushless DC motor driver with Hall sensor feedback (120° commutation)
  • True 4-quadrant power stage with regenerative braking capability
  • Digital inputs: direction, brake, start/stop, disable, and speed-2
  • Analog inputs for speed and current control (PWM-compatible)
  • Protection: overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature (fault LED indication)
  • Optional cooling fan with temperature-controlled output (ON > 65°C)
  • B-version: shutdown input for low-power mode and RS-485 Modbus RTU
  • Enhanced stop modes: “stop brake” and “hold current” for high holding torque

Overview

EM-347B is a brushless DC motor driver with Hall sensor feedback and an efficient MOSFET power stage, designed to meet today’s EMC requirements. The driver supports 120° commutation and includes a true 4-quadrant power stage, enabling regenerative braking.

During regenerative braking, the supply voltage rises. This rise can be controlled with a braking resistor. In battery-powered systems, the regenerated energy can be directed back into the battery, eliminating the need for a braking resistor.

Control Interfaces

The EM-347B includes basic digital command inputs such as direction, brake, start/stop, and disable. In addition, analog inputs are provided for speed and current control. A digitally presettable second speed (speed-2) can be activated via a digital command input.

Two NPN outputs are available for fault and overcurrent indication, and several I/O functions can be modified via parameters.

Protection and Reset Behavior

The driver includes protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature. Fault situations are indicated with an on-board fault LED. Overtemperature and current limit events can be cleared using a reset input, a reset timer, or by setting the analog speed control to zero.

Speed Control Modes

  • Open loop (direct control): motor voltage is proportional to the control voltage, similar to a standard DC motor.
  • Closed loop: Hall sensor feedback is used for speed control, providing good speed regulation.

Start and stop ramps operate in both modes. Speed range, closed-loop RPM range, and ramp times are parameter adjustable. Filtered analog inputs also allow the use of a PWM control signal for speed and current control.

Configuration and Monitoring

Settings can be configured using the EM-236 Interface Unit or with a PC running EmenTool Lite together with the EM-268 adapter cable. Parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. The interface also supports monitoring of motor current and RPM.

B-Version Additional Features

  • Shutdown input for low power consumption mode (low idle)
  • RS-485 Modbus RTU interface (9600 / 19200 baud) for control and parameter access
  • Stop brake mode: motor phases are shorted in stop for improved holding torque
  • Hold current mode: generates strong active holding torque
  • Optional cooling fan output that switches on automatically when the temperature rises above 65°C

Installation

The device can be mounted on a DIN-rail base, and enclosure options are available.
