Steering controller APS3

The APS3 controllers are 3rd generation power steering controllers.

The Advanced Power Steering Controllers have been carefully designed to meet the requirements of European functional safety standards. Inmotion is thus consolidating its position in the field of steer-by-wire systems.

The APS controllers support a wide range of input devices and motor types. They can be used in stand-alone steering systems as well as part of a CANopen vehicle system.

The power steering controllers cover a wide range of vehicle applications, including class 1, 2 and 3 forklifts, and can be easily integrated with an Inmotion PSM steering motor, but of course also work with many other steering motors.

The APS3 steering controls can be used as a drive inverter.
