PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS
The 1243GEN2 controller has a number of parameters that can be programmed
using a Curtis handheld programmer. These programmable parameters allow
the vehicle’s performance characteristics to be customized to fit the needs of
individual vehicles or vehicle applications.
The OEM can specify the default value for each parameter and can also
designate whether a parameter will have User or OEM access rights. Accord-
ingly, programmers are available in User and OEM versions. The User pro-
grammer can adjust only those parameters with User access rights, whereas the
OEM programmer can adjust all the parameters. For information about 1311
programmer operation, see Appendix B.
The MultiMode™ feature of the 1243GEN2 controller allows operation in
four distinct modes. These modes can be programmed to provide four different
sets of operating characteristics, which can be useful for operating in different
conditions, such as slow precise indoor maneuvering in Mode 1; faster, long
distance, outdoor travel in Mode 4; and application-specific special conditions
in Modes 2 and 3. Eight parameters can be configured independently in each
of the four modes:
— acceleration rate (M1–M4)
— braking current limit (M1–M4)
— braking rate (M1–M4)
— deceleration rate (M1–M4)
— drive current limit (M1–M4)
— maximum forward speed (M1–M4)
— maximum reverse speed (M1–M4)
— restraint (M1–M4).
To better describe their interrelationships, the individual parameters are
grouped into categories as follows:
Battery Parameters
Acceleration Parameters
Braking Parameters
Interlock Braking Parameters
Electromagnetic Brake Parameters
Speed Parameters
Throttle Parameters
Field Parameters
Contactor Parameters
Sequencing Fault Parameters
Emergency Reverse Parameters
Motor Protection Parameters
Hourmeter Parameters
BDI Parameters
Fault Code Parameters
