This is a PG DRIVES 60 AMP VR2 CONTROL MODULE

There are other VR2 control modules from 50 AMP to 90 AMP.
What difference to those with two actuators?

Can you say that he is the little brother of...?

There are low power (cheaper) versions of the R-Net system 120 power module.
And there are low power versions of the Pilot plus system.
And as you showed the VR2 system too.

No parts of these three different systems will work together. All are PG Drives UK (and so is the tiny VSI system). They are for different purposes/wallets.

You dont want those low power ones. No advantage in less Amps ever. Other than cost. If it was 1000A capable it would work great on any chair as long as the max Amps was set to a level that didnt cause damage at stall. Or you set to a high figure for 1 second so it moves or climbs an obstacle safely. But too low amps acually causes motor damage as the chair gets "stuck" and wont turn or climb a threshold. Which causes the user holds power on for too long trying to make it work as he expected it to. And the non spinning motor turns into a heater. And burns or melts the armature... Heat damage is a function of Amps x time.
