Motor controllers for electrification: intelligence at the heart of BIBUS France systems
DMC motor controllers are the brain of electrification systems. BIBUS France offers a complete range of high-performance controllers, perfectly suited to I&W Engineering hub motors and the most demanding industrial applications.
The Essential Role of Controllers in Electrified Systems
In an electrified vehicle, motor controllers play a central role that goes far beyond simple power management.
They ensure:
- The efficient conversion of electrical energy.
- Precise control of torque and speed.
- Management of operating modes (traction, regenerative braking).
- Communication with other vehicle systems.
- Continuous safety monitoring and diagnostics.
The quality and performance of controllers directly determine the energy efficiency, reliability, and dynamic behavior of the electrified vehicle.
