Castle Creations Phoenix ICE 75

Brushless Motor Controller

This is a Castle Creations Phoenix ICE 75 Brushless Motor Controller. Phoenix ICE controllers brings you the ability to run at input voltages of up to 8S (33.6V) and use the built in switching BEC to output up to 5 amps of servo power all the way up to the 8S maximum!

All Phoenix ICE controllers are ready to fly out of the bag - no programming is necessary for most aircraft applications. The controllers are set at the factory for Auto Li-Po detect/cutoff operation and they are tuned for optimum outrunner performance. Advanced users will find the incredible programmability of the Phoenix ICE allows for performance characteristics tailored exactly to their desires. Heli users are raving about the performance of Castle's programmable helicopter modes which include options to directly enter desired governed headspeeds as numerical values! Every heli power combination requires slightly varying governor gains, Castle makes these easy to tweak and the net result is a rock solid tail.

Switching BEC:

The Phoenix ICE switching BEC output is factory set to 5.0V. Users may use Castle Link to select their desired voltage between 5.0V and 7.0V, in 0.1V increments.

Data Logging:

Phoenix ICE controllers bring another incredibly useful feature - extensive data logging capabilities. The controllers are able to measure and record many parameters at sample rates that you choose between 10 samples per second and 1 sample per second. Data points include:

• Battery Voltage

• Battery Ripple

• Battery Current

• Controller Temperature

• Controller Input Throttle

• Controller Motor Power Output

• Motor RPM

This data is stored directly in the controller and may be accessed once the run is over using the Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and Castle Link software (available free at castlecreations.com). The Max Log Size is 21,504 bytes, everything takes one byte except for motor RPM which takes two.

• Logging 'Battery Current' at only a 1 sample / second - 358 minutes of logging time (almost 6 hrs)

• Logging 'Motor RPM' at only 1 sample / second - 179 minutes of logging time

• Logging everything at only 1 sample / second - 44 minutes of logging time

• Logging everything at 10 samples / second - 4 minutes and 28 seconds
