MCU: Motor Control Unit
A new brain for a good motor
You have found a great motor, but no control system data exists. New OEM motors supplied without a usable controller, second life OEM drive units, and discontinued motors are often mechanically sound but impossible to run. IonLab designs replacement control electronics that bring these motors back into service under your control.
What We Do
• Characterise the motor and its sensors
• Design or adapt control electronics to drive it
• Integrate it with the UVCU for torque control and thermal protection
• Test the motor under load before it goes into the vehicle
Who Is It For?
Low volume vehicle manufacturers and vehicle conversion specialists who want an affordable motor, with proven OEM quality, but without the OEM's software lock-in.
