The Veronte eVTOL Motor Controller MC24 is a Motor Controller specifically designed for eVTOL systems. This advanced Motor Controller, commonly referred as ESC, is developed according to the DO178C and DO254 certification standards permitting to control electric motors working in the range of 60-120V with a real continuous current up to 200A.
The thoughtful design in Veronte MC24 and its redundant control input makes it the perfect solution for eVTOL and large UAVs where failure is not an option. In cooperation with Veronte Autopilot 4x it ensures the maximum efficiency and the required robustness for eVTOL certification in Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations.
eVTOL Performance
Performance
Veronte MC24 ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) has been optimized for eVTOL and large UAV applications. It is capable of precisely regulating and controlling the rotational speed of an electric motor. Being compatible with sensorless or sensored (digital encoder or hall effect) motors.
The speed variation in the high power motor controller is achieved by adjusting the time between pulses of current that is delivered to the different motor windings. In addition, it includes active braking and regenerative brakes as well as it permits to reverse the rotation sense.
Configurable Motor Controller
Configurable
Following the philosophy in the Veronte Ecosystem, MC24 includes a wide variety of configuration parameters for the optimization of the motor control. It can work with electric motors of any brand, any size and with or without sensors with the maximum grade of efficiency.
Acceleration curve, motor parameters, RPM limit, or braking force are some of the configurable parameters in the Veoronte Motor Controller that permits to optimize the performance. Advanced FOC control algorithms and sensing technology is also used for reducing power consumption and extending battery life.
Certification
Certification
MC24 proper design is essential for the correct operation of eVTOL aircraft in order to ensure the maximum flight efficiency and the required robustness for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations. In addition, its high-quality components and its redundant systems allow it to grant the DO178C and DO254 compliance up to DAL B.
It is manufactured following a strict ATP (Acceptance Test Procedure) including an ESS (Environmental Stress Screening) test being possible to prove ESC reliability to the authorities, providing MTBF calculations, ATR (Acceptance Test Reports), COC (Certificate Of Conformity), DO178 (PSAC, SDP, SQAP, etc.) and DO254 (PHAC, HVVP, HTP, etc.)
State of the art
Innovation
Veronte eVTOL ESC stands out mainly for the robustness of its design and construction. The operating voltage covers a wide range between 60-120V with a real continuous motor current up to 200A. The DO254 hardware design provides a unique MTBF, all this in an IP68 aluminium enclosure.
With its Field Oriented Control algorithm, MC24 is able to get high efficiency rates and a highly stable torque coefficient. Its enhanced performance microprocessor and its redundancy in communication protocols allows a continuous and accurate speed management ensuring high reliability.
