Cascadia Motion (Rinehart Motion)

Product Summary

PM100DX

The PM100DX is an AC Traction Controller designed for on- and off-road Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric (HEV) applications. The Traction drive is fabricated using a patented high heat flux thermal design approach that dramatically reduces the size and weight of the finished drive, and improves its life in the automotive environment. With extensive experience in automotive and military vehicle traction and power electronics applications, RMS has achieved a major breakthrough in integrating Traction Control into a vehicle.

PM100DZ

The PM100DZ is a higher voltage version of its sister product, the DX line.

PM100 Family

RMS is introducing more members of the PM-Series drive family. These AC Traction Controllers are designed for on- and off-road Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric (HEV) applications. The PM-Series family is fabricated using a patented high heat flux thermal design approach that dramatically reduces the size and weight of the finished drive, and improves its life in the automotive environment. The company has extensive experience in automotive and military vehicle traction and power electronics, and produces the smallest, lightest drives for HEV propulsion in everything from tow vehicles to the pinnacle of motorsports. RMS has achieved a major breakthrough in integrating Electronic Traction into any vehicle. The PM100 model is in production while the PM150 model is still in development.

CAN Interface for RMS

MotoHawk CAN Library for RMS PM100

MotoHawk CAN Library for RMS PM100

Supports version 1.0, Sept 30, 2009 CAN ICD. Request more information on the MotoHawk library at sales@neweagle.net. This library and the RMS PM family of inverters integrates well with the New Eagle EV Supervisory Control system, and furthermore makes a nice EV Powertrain combination with one of the supported motors.
