HW-SMC811DUL00
01 Introduction
The P50M is an industrial-grade brushless thrust system designed for multi-rotor aircraft, supporting a rated single-axis load of 50 kg with a maximum thrust of 106 kg/axis. it supports carbon fiber tubes with a 60 mm diameter for installation. Featuring IP35 protection and high-efficiency thermal dissipation, it delivers a one-step power solution for heavy-load multi-rotor drone applications across logistics, emergency rescue, construction lifting, and other critical domains. The FOC ESC employs CAN communication protocol and dual-redundant throttle control (digital/PWM), integrating power-on self-diagnostics, fault logging, over-current protection, and stall protection to ensure operational safety.
02 Precautions
· Please stay away from crowds, high-voltage lines, obstacles, etc. when using, and be sure to follow safety regulations when using. · The thrust system contains FOC driven ESC, which needs to strictly match the motor parameters. The program is unique. It is only suitable for one combination of
propellers and is not compatible with multiple combinations at the same time. If you need to change it, please contact the manufacturer. Unreasonable combinations will trigger ESC protection and make it unusable. · The ESC is equipped with CAN/485 function. This manual only introduces the CAN communication version. When using the CAN function, the ESC ID and the throttle channel of the same aircraft can not be the same, otherwise the multiple ESCs will be recognized as one ESC. · Do not install propellers for ground testing to avoid unnecessary danger. · Be sure to connect all parts carefully. If the connection is poor, you may not be able to control the aircraft normally, or other unpredictable situations such as equipment damage may occur. · If you need to weld the input and output wire connectors of the ESC, please ensure that the welding is reliable and use welding equipment with sufficient power. · Do not use this thrust system when the external ambient temperature exceeds 55°C. The high temperature will destroy the ESC and may cause damage to the motor and cause your drone to crash. · The motor rotation direction of the thrust system has not been determined by the factory, the user can change the order of the motor phase wires to change the motor rotation direction according to the actual needs.

Please purchase the DataLink V2 box from Hobbywing or Hobbywing distributors. Please buy CAN analyzer if needed. Please contact the manufacture of your flight controller in advance to check if our products have communication protocol with your flight controller already. In parameter settings, gray area means unable to set. For other parameters, please do not modify at will to avoid crash. We only include how to set parameters with DataLink V2 box in this user manual. If you are using CAN analyzer please follow HW CAN protocol document. If you are using flight controller to set ESC parameters, please contact the flight controller manufacture for help. 1) Connections

07 ESC protection function
This ESC is specially designed for industrial drones, without low-voltage protection and over-heat protection. · Stall protection
When the ESC detects that the motor is locked, the ESC will completely turn off the output and repeatedly try to restart the motor. Please land the aircraft as soon as possible if the motor is unable to be restarted. The power output can only be resumed after the power is turned off and restarted, and the fault is eliminated. · Current protection When the instantaneous phase current abnormality reaches 250A, the ESC will turn off the output and keep trying to restart the motor. If the motor does not restart, it will return to normal after power on again. · Over-heat warning A fault message will be sent out through the data interface when the IGBT temperature is higher than 110°C or capacitor temperature is higher than 100°C. Please land the aircraft in time or reduce the throttle output when the ESC reports an over-heat fault, if the temperature continues to rise, electronic components may be damaged. · Low voltage protection This ESC has no low-voltage protection. Some electronic components of the ESC will work abnormally when the voltage falls below 315VDC. Please land the aircraft in time. · Throttle signal loss protection When the ESC detects that the throttle signal is lost, the output will be turned off immediately to avoid greater losses caused by the continued high-speed rotation of the propeller. After the signal is restored, the ESC will resume normal operation immediately.
