SOLO-PRO-80-60

BLDC Motor FOC Controller & Driver, 60A/80V, USB/UART/CANopen/EtherCAT

Compact servo drive with integrated power stage, Field-Oriented Control, EtherCAT, CANopen, and up to 60 A continuous output current.

The SOLO-PRO-80-60 from SOLO Motor Controllers is a compact, ready-to-use motor drive combining advanced motion control, integrated power electronics, and industrial communication interfaces in a robust aluminium housing measuring just 51.8 × 79 × 96 mm.

Designed for supply voltages from 8 to 80 VDC, the drive delivers up to 60 A DC (43 Arms) continuous output current and 2,500 W continuous output power. Its integrated power stage, gate drivers, current and voltage sensing, protection circuits, and active brake chopper eliminate the need for custom power electronics or motor control firmware development.

With flexible panel or DIN rail mounting options, the SOLO-PRO-80-60 is particularly suitable for industrial automation, robotics, decentralized drive systems, and compact high-performance servo applications.

Advanced Motor Control with Dual-Core Architecture

At the heart of the SOLO-PRO-80-60 is the SOLO-SOM, featuring a Texas Instruments TMS320F28388D dual-core DSP with two independent 200 MHz processor cores.

The first processor handles all motor control tasks using SOLO’s integrated firmware. Field-Oriented Control (FOC) provides precise torque, speed, and position regulation with a current control loop execution time of just 7 µs.

The second processor is fully accessible for user programming and enables application-specific functions such as supervisory control, custom command processing, or machine-specific logic without requiring an additional microcontroller. Both cores operate independently and exchange data through an internal high-speed communication channel.

The drive supports brushed DC motors, BLDC motors, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM), and coreless EC motors. Automatic motor parameter identification and self-tuning simplify commissioning and optimize control performance.

Flexible Integration and Industrial Connectivity

The SOLO-PRO-80-60 offers a comprehensive range of communication and feedback interfaces for integration into industrial control systems.

EtherCAT and CANopen (CiA 402 / DS402) enable communication with industrial controllers, while USB-C and UART provide additional options for configuration, monitoring, and digital control. Analogue 0–5 V and PWM command inputs allow straightforward integration with PLCs, microcontrollers, and other control electronics.

Multiple position feedback interfaces support Hall sensors, incremental encoders, BiSS-C absolute encoders, and Sin/Cos sensors. Two independent position-sensing channels enable motor-side feedback and additional position monitoring.

The integrated dual-channel Safe Torque Off (STO) function provides a hardware-level interface for machine safety systems. An additional Safe Brake Off (SBO) function enables controlled operation of an external mechanical holding brake, making the drive particularly suitable for vertical axes and applications requiring load holding.

Four-quadrant regenerative operation and an active brake chopper support controlled handling of regenerative energy using an external braking resistor.

The compact aluminium housing features an integrated heatsink for efficient thermal management and supports both panel mounting and standard 35 mm DIN rail installation.

Commissioning, configuration, and control-loop tuning are performed using the browser-based SOLO Motion Terminal, eliminating the need for custom motor control software.

Typical Applications

The SOLO-PRO-80-60 is ideal for industrial servo drives, robotics, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), precision positioning systems, vertical axes, industrial automation, pumps, fans, and decentralized motor control applications.

By combining a powerful 2.5 kW inverter with advanced motion control, comprehensive safety interfaces, and flexible industrial connectivity, the SOLO-PRO-80-60 simplifies system integration, reduces development effort, and accelerates time to market.
