FOC ESC vs. PWM ESC: Which is the Ultimate "Heart" for Your Underwater Thruster?
Posted by Fengyukun on
When choosing an underwater thruster, most people focus on thrust, voltage, and waterproof depth. However, there is a core component that often gets overlooked but determines your noise level, handling smoothness, and battery life—the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). Currently, the two mainstream driving technologies on the market are PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and FOC (Field-Oriented Control). Today, we will dive deep into the differences between them and compare the ApisQueen U10 and U92 Pro to see which solution fits your project best. 1. What is a PWM ESC? (The Traditional Choice) PWM driving typically uses a "six-step commutation" method. Simply put,...

AQ1121 vs AQ1020: A Comprehensive Comparison of Underwater Propellers – Analysis of Thrust, FOC ESC Advantages and Application Scenarios
Posted by Fengyukun on
When choosing an underwater thruster, many users find themselves torn between the AQ1020 and its upgraded version, the AQ1121. On the one hand, the AQ1020 delivers a thrust of up to 24 kg at 48V, which is even higher than the AQ1121’s 21 kg;on the other hand, the AQ1121 is marketed as the ‘upgraded version’. 👉 So the question arises:What exactly has been upgraded in the AQ1121? Is it worth choosing? This article will help you fully understand the differences between the two by examining thrust, the control system (FOC), real-world user experience and application scenarios. Product Overview AQ1020 Underwater...
APISQUEEN FOC ESC RS485 Bus Communication Modbus RTU Protocol
Posted by Fengyukun on
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Modbus Protocol The Modbus protocol is a universal language used in electronic controllers. Through this protocol, controllers can communicate with one another, and controllers can communicate with other devices via a network (such as Ethernet). It has become a universal industrial standard. With it, control devices produced by different manufacturers can be connected into an industrial network for centralised monitoring. This protocol defines a message structure that a controller can recognise and use, regardless of the type of network through which communication takes place. It describes the process by which a controller requests access to...
