Curtis 1220 Manual, Rev. C
Advanced Motor Control
3 Absolute position control mode.
3 16 kHz PWM switching frequency ensures silent operation.
3 Advanced PWM techniques produce low motor harmonics,
low torque ripple, and minimized heating losses, resulting
in high eciency.
3
Congurable homing methods, center oset, and end-stop
protection.
3 24 V, 40 A 2-minute current rating.
3 24 V nominal supply voltage.
Maximum Safety
3 Dual steering command inputs and dual analog position
inputs for redundant check.
3
Fault output can be used to turn o traction controller’s
main contactor or interlock connection.
3 Steered wheel position (angle) output can be used to limit
the traction motor speed.
3 Following error check ensures the wheel position tracks
the steering command.
3 Power On Self-Test: FLASH, ALU, EEPROM, software
watchdog, RAM, etc.
3
Power On Hardware Check: Motor Open, Motor Short,
and MOSFET short.
3 Periodic Self-Tests: EEPROM parameters, Motor Open,
and command and feedback devices.
Unmatched Flexibility
3 Integrated hourmeter and diagnostic log functions.
3 Curtis 840 Spyglass can be connected to show traction
and steering information such as BDI, hour meter, fault,
traction speed, and steered wheel angle.
3
+5V low-power supply for input sensors, etc.
3 Curtis 1313 handheld programmer and 1314 PC
Programming Station provide easy programming and
powerful system diagnostic and monitoring capabilities.
3
External Status LED driver gives instant diagnostic
indication.
