Controller Wiring Diagram (Examples)
Figure 6 illustrates the F4-A controller wiring for a Class III pallet truck using wired inputs from
switches and potentiometers, driving an induction traction motor. e Interlock, Forward, Reverse,
Li, Lower, and the redundant Emergency Reverse inputs are by external mechanical switches pulled
to KSI (B+). e traction motor feedback is a quadrature encoder and the throttle input is a 3-wire
potentiometer (which meets EEC fault protection). Beyond these assigned I/O usages, the available
(non-assigned) switch inputs, drivers, and the analog output, are programmable to suit a diverse
range of F4-A controller applications.
Figure 6 illustrates both the non-isolated and isolated CAN port options. See Appendix E for the
controller models and specications, which support these options.
