The JCA HAWK module is an advanced motor control module intended for driving high-current electric motors and linear actuators. The HAWK is a highly versatile motor control module that can be commanded through CAN bus communication (J1939 compatible) to control a variable speed bi-directional motor or linear actuator.

The high-current capability provides ability to drive high torque motors, while limiting the maximum current in overdrive conditions. This allows for the use of smaller wire harnessing than is needed for relay or contactor driven motors.

The speed control capability allows for soft-start and stop functionality with feedback provided for RPM, position, temperature, current, and error conditions.

A summary of the JCA HAWK module capabilities are:• Environmentally sealed (IP67), -40°C to +85°C operating temperatures• Designed for 12V systems (9V to 18V operation)• CAN bus communication

- J1939 compatible- Wake-on CAN function (low-power mode without CAN communication)- Built-in commanding and RPM and position feedback

• Bidirectional motor drive (H-bridge configuration)- 50 Amp (continuous)- Overcurrent and short circuit protection- Thermal overload protection- PWM capability up to 20 kHz for speed control, and ramp-up/ramp-down

• Quadrature encoder interface:- 2 frequency inputs intended to be 90 degrees out of phase to detect direction of

motor travel- Can be used with only one input but without direction detection- 5V sensor reference output (up to 200 mA) for powering the encoders- Programmable pull-ups on both inputs for direct interface with encoders
