MENU CHART FORMAT
Each parameter has a detailed chart ranging from the display name to a detailed description.
Max Speed 100 – 8000 rpm 4000 rpm
[PCF]
Denes the maximum allowed motor rpm at full throttle.
Partially-applied throttle is scaled proportionately; e.g.
40 % applied throttle corresponds to a request for 40 %
of the set Max Speed Value.
Note:
• The maximum motor rpm is subject to constraints
outlined in the manual (see Motor Speed Constraints).
• If Max_Speed_SpdM is set ≤10 rpm (through VCL)
the throttle request is zeroed.

TERMINOLOGY
When setting parameters and commissioning the vehicle, follow these denitions.
CiA/CANopen CAN in Automation (CiA) is the international users’ and manufacturers’
group for the Controller Area Network (CAN), internationally
standardized in the ISO 11898 series. CANopen is a CAN-based
communication system. e CANopen design was originally for motion-
oriented machine control systems, such as factory handling systems.
Today, CANopen sees usage in various application elds, such as medical
equipment, o-road vehicles, maritime electronics, railway applications,
or building automation. References include CiA 301, 303-1, etc.
Curtis Integrated
Toolkit
e Curtis Integrated Toolkit
TM
(CIT) is a Curtis Instruments developed
soware program for conguring and communicating with Curtis
Instruments products. Use CIT to program (change and edit parameters,
etc.) the Controller. See Appendix D for programming, monitoring, and
diagnostic soware and toolsets.
F2-C e AC F2-C motor controller combines AC traction motor control
with DC pump motor control. Advanced motor drive soware provides
smooth control over full speed and torque, including regenerative
braking and zero speed control. It uses the CANopen standard for
communication and programming.
I/O Input/Output. I/O generally refers to the controller 35-pin AMPSEAL
connector’s input signals or switches, output signals, power, or low-
side drivers.
