The motor currently in use in the rudder is the Lehner 30100/12 with a NTC Temp. Sensor (B 25/100 3988 ±1%) installed. There is also a magnetic encoder placed behind the motor.

Rudder-controller

To accommodate the new rudder design and its features, a controller is needed. With this controller we want to enable a multiple of functionalities that will help with the integrate cooling system and the control of the back-foil.

The design should therefore have the following requirements:

Requirements for the rudder-controller
Feature Description Electrical connections
Power Power will be coming from the CAN-bus

It is important that the inrush of the connected motors must not decrease the CAN-bus voltage.

4-pins connector that hosts the CAN-bus and Power
Communication The board will use the CAN-bus to communicate and retrieve commands 4-pins connector that hosts the CAN-bus and Power
Back-foil control A TMC2209 or comparable is needed that supports StallGuard™ Available on the platform connected to the back-foil motor
Back-foil motor The Nema 11 Stepper motor fits the rudder design to control the back-foil. 4-pins connector for power and control
