Hobbywing XRotor X9 G2L Propulsion System for 16L Agriculture Drone, 12S-14S, 24 kg Thrust, IPX6, PWM+CAN

Description

Overview

The Hobbywing XRotor X9 G2L is a propulsion system for 16L agriculture drones, designed for agricultural plant protection applications. It supports a rated single-axis load of 7-12 kg (sea level) with maximum thrust up to 24 kg (sea level), and fits D40 mm / 40 mm carbon fiber tube arms for small to medium-sized platforms.

With IPX6 ingress protection and a FOC-based ESC (optimized for PMSM), the system is intended for heavy-load operation in harsh outdoor environments. It supports dual throttle redundancy via PWM (analog) and CAN (digital), and provides telemetry and compatibility through HWCAN and DroneCAN (Cyphal) communication.

Key Features

• New-generation integrated drone propulsion system; seamless upgrade from previous version X9 and X9 Plus
• Rated thrust per axis: 7-12 kg; maximum thrust reaches: 24 kg
• Compared with the previous version X9, the recommended takeoff weight has increased by 1 kg
• Extended flight time when used with the MFP 36×11 propeller; efficiency increased by 4% in the same thrust range compared to the previous version X9
• Total weight listed: 1532 g (also specified as 1532 +/-10 g including cable and 36×11 propellers); performance comparable to the X9 Plus while weighing 230 g less
• Suitable for various 16L agricultural drones; Class IV drones
• Dual throttle redundancy control: PWM analog signal + CAN bus digital signal
• Safety protections listed: power on, self check, voltage/current/stall
• Built-in failure storage and log; optimized black box storage logic:
  • Fault storage: precisely records fault data within milliseconds for easier fault analysis and ESC maintenance information logging
  • Log black box: records ESC operating data in real time; default recording duration is 1 hour, up to 24 hours
• Multiple parameter adjustment modes:
  • Parameter adjustment via remote controller: adjust navigation light colors and motor rotation directions without the need of a DataLinkBox
  • Parameter adjustment via Bluetooth in the mobile app: DataLinkBox G3 paired with HOBBYWING DataLink V3 app (Android and iOS; Huawei HarmonyOS currently not supported); quickly configure 90% of ESC parameters outdoors via Bluetooth
  • Parameter adjustment via PC software: PC-side DataLink host software with DataLinkBox supports all open parameter settings (including advanced parameters settings) on the ESC
• New “dual-loop” control architecture:
  • Flatland mode: stable motor rotation speed output and precise speed control within the operating voltage range
  • Highland mode: automatically adjusts motor rotation speeds within a certain range as altitude increases (customizable on request)
• Brand-new structure for optimal heat dissipation: rectangular vent design with a larger diameter improves heat dissipation efficiency while preventing impurities from entering the motor
