One of the most interesting features of electric motors when used in drive train application is that they can also behave as generators, and thus recharge the vehicle's battery while braking. Roboteq's motor controllers can easily be programmed to take advantage of this characteristic in a controlled manner.

The controller position algorithm allows you to move the motor from an initial position to a desired position. The motor starts with a controlled acceleration, reaches a desired velocity, and decelerates at a controlled rate to stop precisely at the end position. The graph below shows the speed and position vs time during a position move.
