EM-A46 is a signal converter module that transforms a 1–2 ms pulse-length signal — typically used in RF remote control receivers or ArduPilot PWM systems — into corresponding analog control signals.
The card can be implemented in Electromen driver boards that include an option card slot (EM-A1), such as EM-282D and EM-347B. When installed, the direction input of the driver is converted to an ArduPilot PWM input, enabling full forward and reverse control using a standard radio remote controller.
The EM-A46 also includes an optional 3-pin input connector for direct connection to standard RF receiver outputs.
