Product Summary
The Cascadia Motion Systems (RMS) AC Traction Controllers are designed for on-road and off-road Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric (HEV) applications.
The PM-Series and RM-Series families are typically the lightest and smallest inverters for their power due to their high heat flux thermal design approach. The company has extensive experience in automotive, commercial vehicles, motorsports and military vehicle traction applications.

How to Set Up an RMS Inverter
Here is an excellent guide to getting started with an RMS inverter.
Cascadia releases firmware updates often.
A set-up GUI must be installed and connected to a PC serial port.
Reinhart offers integration documentation for many popular motors.
Installation for Use with a Remy Motor
Step-by-step instructions to installing a Cascadia Motion inverter for use with a Remy motor. This document describes the multiple types of Remy motors and the process to set up the motor type.
Both the PM100 and PM150 series inverters use AN6 coolant fittings.
CAN Interface for RMS
MotoHawk CAN Library for RMS PM100
MotoHawk CAN Library for RMS PM100
The MotoHawk library supports RMS release BB2_20111109_14C0.hex. Request more information on the library at sales@neweagle.net. This library and the RMS PM family of inverters integrate well with the New Eagle EV Supervisory Control system and furthermore make a nice EV powertrain combination with one of the supported motors.
CAN Configuration Parameters
New Eagle's Application Engineering team can assist on a consulting or applications contract in the correct settings of the EEPROM setting for successful implementation of the RMS drive. Many of the off-the-shelf settings are made to assist users who directly connect the pedal/brake interface to the inverter.
A more sophisticated (and safer) strategy for EVs is to use a supervisory controller with control over CAN. This is one of the functions of the New Eagle EV Supervisory controller.
Please contact sales for more information on our EEPROM settings file.
