5 — INITIAL SETUP
when rotating the motor forward, the Swap Feedback Direction parameter must
be changed. Cycle KSI power and repeat the procedure until you are satisfied
that the Swap Feedback Direction setting is correctly set. If the vehicle will
use the emergency reverse feature, the reverse direction (negative Motor RPM)
must be correctly selected so that when the Emergency reverse input is active
the motor will rotate in the reverse direction. Contact your Curtis distributor
or support engineer to resolve any issues about encoder direction or emergency
reverse before continuing with the setup procedure.
bl Checking direction of rotation
Now that you have the encoder direction set correctly, you can test to
see whether the motor rotation is correct. Cycle KSI o and on (to clear any
parameter change faults) and use the programmer to check for faults in the
controller. All faults must be cleared before continuing with the setup proce-
dure. Apply the interlock input and verify that Interlock = On (as verified in
the Monitor
» Inputs menu). en, while keeping the brake in neutral, select a
direction and apply throttle. e motor should begin to turn.
For an ACIM motor, observe the motor rotation and if the motor appears
to be “ghting itself” (struggling at full current while jerkily turning at very
low speed), change the setting of the Swap Two Phases parameter.
For an SPM motor, observe the motor rotation and if it is turning in the
wrong direction repeat Step
bk
or contact your Curtis distributor or support
engineer.
Do not take the vehicle down o the blocks until the motor is re-
sponding properly.
Once the motor is responding properly, lower the vehicle to put the drive
wheels on the ground.
Note: Do not take the vehicle down o the blocks if you will be running
the Motor Characterization procedure.
bm Motor characterization
If your motor is an ACIM motor, you must either:
(a) Already have software with the motor data programmed to match your
motor. e pre-set motor data software is usually the result of contacting your
Curtis distributor or support engineer and getting a match between your motor
and the Curtis ACIM motor database, or by shipping a motor to Curtis for
dyno characterization (see page 87).
or (b) Use the in-vehicle ACIM Motor Characterization Procedure (Section
6a) now. is procedure will set the direction, may set the Encoder Steps, learn
ACIM motor data, and set the FW Base Speed and Field Weakening Drive.
If your motor is an SPM motor, you must use the in-vehicle SPM Motor Char-
acterization Procedure (Section 6b) now. is procedure will set the direction
and the Sin/Cos sensor parameters, and learn the SPM motor data parameters.
After ensuring that the controller has the motor data values that match
your controller, complete steps
