Overview

The main function of the Inverter is to control the motor. We typically interface with this system through the RMS GUI and Vector CANalyzer. It takes in a DC voltages and outputs three frequency controlled AC signals to the motor. The inverter also handles some safety by having internal regulations on current, voltage, and temperature. These maximum and minimum settings (as well as some relating to calibration and performance) are controlled via EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory) parameters.
