Read Only
8000* RPM
Displays the maximum allowed speed that clamps the upper limit
of the Max Speed parameters.
*For speeds over 8000 rpm, consult Curtis Instruments.
Typical Max Speed
Typical_Max_Speed
0x3542 0x00
500 – 8000 rpm
500 – 8000
4000 rpm Set this parameter to the typical maximum motor speed of the
vehicle. This value does not need to be set precisely; an estimate
will do. This setting normalizes all the vehicle response rates to
this value (Typical Max Speed rpm).
For example suppose the Typical_Max_Speed is xed at 6000
rpm and the Full_Accel_Rate_LS_SpdM = 3.0 seconds:
If Max_Speed_SpdM = 6000 rpm it will take 3.0 seconds to
accelerate from zero to top speed
(6000 rpm).
If Max_Speed_SpdM = 3000 rpm it will take 1.5 seconds to
accelerate from zero to top speed
(3000 rpm).
If Max_Speed_SpdM = 1000 rpm it will take 0.5 seconds to
accelerate to accelerate from zero to top
speed (1000 rpm).
Motor Technology

0 – 1
Read Only Set this parameter to the type of motor in your vehicle:
0 = ACIM (induction motor)
1 = SPMSM (surface permanent magnet synchronous motor)
1
Note: A Parameter Mismatch Fault will result unless the Feedback
Type matches the Motor Technology setting:
If Motor Technology = 0 (ACIM) then Feedback Type must = 1
(quadrature encoder).
If Motor Technology = 1 (SPMSM) Feedback Type must = 2
(sin/cos device)

1
The surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) option is not available in cdev 2.3.0.3.
