Electronic speed controller with modular layout
First Claim
1. An electronic speed controller comprising:
- a cabinet including an inverter, static switches, and an electronic control/command assembly, wherein said static switches are included in said inverter and said electronic control/command assembly operates said static switches so that said inverter delivers an adjustable regulated polyphase AC current to be delivered to a load;
a display and dialogue module;
a control bus connector configured to link said display and dialogue module to the electronic control/command assembly so as to control said electronic control/command assembly based on inputs received with said display and dialogue module; and
an add-on electronic module fitting between said display and dialogue module and a face of said cabinet,wherein said display and dialogue module has a removable lid configured to allow access to said add-on electronic module,wherein the control bus connector is configured to directly connect either to (i) the display and dialogue module or to (2) at least one option module including a through connector with a rear part directly connected to the control bus connector and a front part directly connected to either the display and dialogue module or a rear part of a through connector of another option module, andwherein a first option module is disposed between said control bus connector and said display and dialogue module, and wherein said first option module is shaped such that said add-on electronic module is accessible via said removable lid.

Abstract
An electronic speed controller including a cabinet, a display and dialogue module, and a control bus connector. The cabinet includes an electronic control/command assembly. The display and dialogue module is disposed at a front face of the cabinet and includes a communication connector linked at the rear of the display and dialogue module to the electronic control/command assembly. The control bus connector links the communication connector and the electronic control/command assembly. The cabinet supports either (i) the display and dialogue module directly connected by a rear connector to the control bus connector or (2) one option module including a through connector with a rear part directly connected to the control bus connector and a front part directly connected to either the rear connector of the display and dialogue module or a rear part of a through connector of another option module.
