FIM2360
RoboteQ’s FIM2360 is a features-packed, high-current, dual or
single channel controller for AC Induction motors. The controller
can operate in one of several modes in order to sense the rotor
position and sequence power on the motors’ 3 windings in order
to generate smooth continuous rotation. The controller also
uses the Encoder information to compute speed and measure
travelled distance inside a 32-bit counter. The motors may be
operated in open or closed loop speed or torque modes.
The FIM2360 features several Analog, Pulse and Digital I/
Os which can be remapped as command or feedback inputs,
limit switches, or many other functions. The FIM2360 accepts
commands received from an RC radio, Analog Joystick,
wireless modem, or microcomputer. For mobile robot
applications, the controller’s two motor channels can either be
operated independently or mixed to move and steer a vehicle.
Using CAN bus, up to 127 controllers can be networked at up
to 1Mbit/s on a single twisted pair.
Numerous safety features are incorporated into the controller
to ensure reliable and safe operation. The controller’s
operation can be extensively automated and customized using
Basic Language scripts. The controller can be configured,
monitored and tuned in real-time using a RoboteQ’s free
PC utility. The controller can also be reprogrammed in the
field with the latest features by downloading new operating
software from Roboteq.

Important Safety Disclaimer
Dangerous uncontrolled motor runaway condition can occur for a number of
reasons, including, but not limited to: command or feedback wiring failure,
configuration error, faulty firmware, errors in user script or user program, or
controller hardware failure.
The user must assume that such failures can occur and must make his/her system
safe in all conditions. Roboteq will not be liable in case of damage or injury as a
result of product misuse or failure.
Power Wires Identifications and Connection
Power connections are made by means of faston tabs located at the back of the controller.

FIGURE 3. Powering the controller. Thick lines identify MANDATORY connections
Carefully follow the wiring instructions provided in the Power Connection section of
the User Manual. The information on this datasheet is only a summary.
It is imperative that the controller is connected as shown in the above diagram in order to
ensure a safe and trouble-free operation. All connections shown as thick black lines line
are mandatory. The controller must be powered On/Off using switch SW1on the PwrCtrl
tab. Use a suitable high-current fuse F1 (check table 8) as a safety measure to prevent
damage to the wiring in case of major controller malfunction.
The battery must be connected in permanence to the controller’s Vmot tabs via a highpower emergency switch or contactor SW2 as additional safety measure. The user must
be able to deactivate the switch or contactor at any time, independently of the controller
state.
Single Channel Wiring
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
In accordance with IEC 61000-6-4, Roboteq Motor Controllers are designed to withstand
ESD up to 4kV touch and 8kV air gap. This protection is implemented without any
additional external connections required.
Some specifications, such as EN12895, require a higher level of protection. To maximize
ESD protection, up to 8kV touch and 15kV air gap, you may connect the metallic heatsink
of the controller to your battery negative terminal. See App Note 062918 for example
connections.
Precautions and Optional Connections
Note 1: Backup battery to ensure motor operation with weak or discharged batteries,
connect a second battery to the Power Control wire/terminal via the SW1 switch.
Note 2: Use precharge 1K, 0.5W Resistor to prevent switch arcing.
Note 3: Insert a high-current diode to ensure a return path to the battery during
regeneration in case the fuse is blown.
Note 4: Optionally ground the Vmot tabs when the controller is Off if there is any concern
that the motors could be made to spin and generate voltage in excess of 60V.
Note 5: Connect the controller’s bottom plate to a wire connected to the Earth while the
charger is plugged in the AC main, or if the controller is powered by an AC power supply.
Note 6: Beware not to create a path from the ground pins on the I/O connector and the
battery minus terminal.
Single Channel Wiring
On the Single Channel FIM2360S, the each of the motor wire must be connected to both
output tabs of the same letter as shown in the figure below. Use the Encoders of Channel
1 for operation.
