Description The RollerCAN Unit is a brushless DC motor motion control kit with an integrated slip ring for continuous rotation and top-side Grove expansion. This RollerCAN Unit supports 6-16V DC input through the CAN XT30 interface or 5V input through the Grove interface, automatically adjusting power coefficients for stable motion output. Its FOC closed-loop drive system uses a D3504 200KV brushless motor with magnetic encoder feedback. The RollerCAN Unit supports current, speed, and position triple-loop control, while the electrical slip ring keeps the top Grove interface connected during 360-degree rotation for rotating modules and sensor payloads. Notice: The power supply should not exceed 16V. If the voltage exceeds 18V, the motor fault code E:1 is displayed, the motor stops working, Over Voltage is shown, and the LED lights blue. In absolute position mode, an encoder value of 36000 pos corresponds to 360 degrees. Mechanical installation angle and encoder angle may not be strictly aligned, so an error of about 2 degrees may occur.
