1 Introduction :
This manual describes the features, installation and operation of
Plettenberg motor control MST60-80.
Please read the instruction manual carefully and completely before
using the controller. Disregarding the hints and instructions can be fatal
and can cause lethal injuries! The limitation of the length of the battery
input cables is mandatory(see chapter 4).
If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
The engine control MST60-80 has been specially developed for the use
with brushless Plettenberg electric motors with sensors. Brushless
motors from other manufacturers can only be connected, if they are
equipped with 3 Hall sensors in 120 ° electrical arrangement. We
assume no guarantee for the proper functioning of the MST60-80 with
motors from other manufacturers.
The MST60-80 can drive brushless motors electrically up to 240000 rpm.
A 20-pole motor, for example, makes 10 electrical revolutions doing one
shaft rotation. The maximum speed for such a 20-pole motor is
calculated: 240000rpm / 10pole pairs = 24000rpm.
The powerful 32-bit microprocessor allows a sensitive and fast motor
control in conjunction with a very universal use. The measured values
are displayed in real time on the RS232 interface in plain text so that
they can be evaluated with a PC or other microprocessor control easy.
The firmware of the MST60-80 can be updated. However, it has to be
sent to the factory for update.

4 Mounting and connection rules:
If the controller is mounted in a closed case, the warm air must be replaced accordingly or
cooled. At 80A phase current the dissipated heat is about 15W.
On the top are five terminals with M3 threat (Max. torque is 1.3Nm), three of them are for
the motor phase connections and two for battery plus and battery minus. There is also the
6 pole sensor connector and the 12 pole control connector on the top.
The motor phase A should be connected with the red motor phase at Plettenberg motors.
The motor phase B should be connected with the white motor phase at Plettenberg motors.
The motor phase C should be connected with the blue motor phase at Plettenberg motors.
Caution: The sum of all battery cables (plus and minus) should be less than 1m. If several
batteries are connected in series, the length of the connecting cables between the battery
packs must be added to the battery cable length. For example, if you use 33cm battery
cables length for the MST60-80 you have 100cm – 2 x 33cm = 34cm total cable length left
for the battery pack. The allowed cable length depends also on the current, so if you are
using the controller at higher currents than the nominal current, the allowed cable length is
shorter. At 140A full throttle current the allowed cable length is 58cm, resulting in 29cm
plus and 29 cm minus total.
Warning: Exceeding the permissible length of the battery wiring, the motor controller may
be damaged. The motor controller is not protected against reverse polarity. If the battery is
reversed, the motor controller may be damaged. Use an appropriate fuse (eg Littelfuse
BF1 58V 100A 142.5631.6102, 142.7010.6102, MEGA-fuse 58V 100A) between the
battery pack and controller. As a safety disconnect switch (emergency stop) we
recommend Tyco Electronics KILOVAC EV100 and KILOVAC EV200 series.
A protective diode must be installed which, when the connection between the battery and
the control unit is interrupted, draws the stored energy from the motor inductivity into the
battery if current flows through the motor. The protective diode must be installed in parallel
with the serial circuit fuse and safety disconnect switch. Anode to plus motor controller and
cathode to battery plus. We recommend a VS-100BGQ100 or STPS80170CW diode to
archive the best protection.
Warning: Never operate the controller with significant load on a power supply without
permission from us. At partial throttle the input current of the controller could have high
current spikes, which could cause overvoltage spikes, if using a power supply instead of a
battery. These spikes can destroy the motor controller and/or the power supply. Never use
the brake function, if using a power supply. At braking the energy is feed back to the power
supply, the resulting overvoltage may destroy the power supply and/or the controller.
Reversing the direction: If you want to reverse the direction of rotation, swap the sensor
cable A and B and the motor phases B with C.
Please note that the possible cable length of the RS232 cable depends on the used line
driver and the used cable. At cable length over 2m we recommend a shielded CAT5 cable
for the RS232 connection.

on one side of the cable.
6 Trouble free and safe operation:
The sum of all battery cable (plus and minus together) may not exceed 1m. Warning:
Exceeding the length of the battery wiring, the motor controller may be damaged.
The motor controller is not protected against reverse polarity. Warning: If the battery is
connected in reverse, the motor controller may be damaged. Use in the battery pack an
appropriate fuse (eg Littelfuse BF1 58V 100A 142.5631.6102, 142.7010.6102, MEGA-fuse
58V 100A).
The 5V power supply can deliver a maximum of 50mA. If the Hall sensors of the motor
need in total of 20mA, 30mA are left for accelerator and brake pedals are available.
Therefore check the power consumption of these components.

Warning: Even a short-term short-circuit on the 5V supply at the control connector leads
to the failure of the power supply of the Hall sensors. This can cause a defect at the motor
controller if the engine is running.
7 Safety functions :
Over voltage protection: At over 63V input voltage the MST controller switches off. If the
input voltage rises over 66V the controller can be damaged.
Under voltage protection: Below 10V input voltage the MST controller switches of to
protect the internal power supply voltages.
Motor temperature protection: If the motor temperature is exceed the motor temperature
limit the MST controller switches off to protect the motor.
Controller temperature protection: If the controller temperature is exceed the controller
temperature limit the MST controller switches off to protect the motor.
High pedal protection: To avoid that the controller went to full throttle in case the minus
wire to the throttle potentiometer is broken, the MST controller switches off, if the voltage
at the analog input exceed 4.95V for safety.
Sensor error: If the positions sensors gives faulty signals the MST controller switches of
to protect the motor and the controller.

8 Safety notes :
Over 60V battery voltage you leave the range of the Safety Extra Low Voltage! The
wiring must be carried out at supply voltages above 60V only by qualified persons.
It must be considered the relevant technical standards. Touching the motor
terminals with the engine running with more than 60V battery voltage can cause
injuries. Therefore, the wiring has to be made at battery voltages over 60V that no
power contacts can be touched.
Be careful with motors driving rotating parts.
If drive battery pack is connected, never stand in the hazard area of the rotating parts!
Technical defects in electrical and mechanical systems can lead to an unexpected start of
the motor and / or loose parts can greatly hurt you or persons located nearby! Only use
the controller when property and personal damages are excluded! We are not
responsible for the use in passenger-carrying equipment (see section 16 Legal Terms and
Conditions)!
The controller is not protected against reverse polarity and confusion.
Never mix up with PLUS MINUS (reverse polarity)! This results in damage to the
controller!
Never connect the drive battery on the motor connecting cable (confusion), this can
lead to irreparable damage!
Never operate the controller with significant load on a power supply without
permission from us. At partial throttle the input current of the controller could have
high current spikes, which could cause overvoltage spikes, if using a power supply
instead of a battery. These spikes can destroy the motor controller and/or the power
supply. Never operate the controller with a power supply, when using the braking
function. At braking the energy is feed back to the power supply, the resulting
overvoltage may destroy the power supply and/or the controller.
Do not connect an external voltage source at the 5V sensor supply. Exceeding 5.5V on
this connection may cause damage to the controller.
Never disconnect the drive battery with the engine running from the controller. This may
damage the controller. If you have activated the safety disconnect switch (emergency
stop) with the engine running, so a test run of the controller with a current-limited power
supply without load is necessary. Only if it is ensured that the controller is without damage,
the controller can be put into operation again.
Never disconnect the drive battery with the engine running from the controller. This
may damage the controller. If you have activated the safety disconnect switch (emergency
stop) with the engine running, so a test run of the controller with a current-limited power
supply is necessary. Only if it is ensured that the controller is without damage, the
controller can be put into operation again.
Never exceed the maximum length of the cables between the controller and battery
(max. length 2x50 cm). The internal battery wiring must be as short as possible.
Always disconnect the drive battery from the controller, if you do not use this
longer period or if you want to charge the battery.
The monitoring functions can’t detect every possible abnormal operating condition. The

current limit does not protect the controller against short circuit between the motor cables.
In case of a short circuit immediately switch off the motor to avoid permanent damage to
the motor controller!
Also a current limitation at stalled motor will protect the motor only if the maximum allowed
current of the motor is higher than the current limitation value of the controller. For
example, if a 20A rated motor operated at the MST60-80, the current monitoring in the
case of blocking will not detect an excessive current and the motor may be destroyed.
