Curtis 1238SE - Step 7: Brake; Step 8: Motor Technology & Feedback Type

7 — INITIAL SETUP
Curtis 1232E/34E/36E/38E & 1232SE/34SE/36SE/38SE Manual, os 31 – May 2017 Return to TOC
pg. 82
Once the interlock has been veried O, proceed to the throttle input setup. First set the rottle
Type parameter to match the type of throttle (1–5) and wiring used as described in Chapter 3,
rottle section. en adjust the Forward Deadband, Forward Max, Reverse Deadband and Reverse
Max parameters to match the range of the throttle. e rottle Pot value displayed on the Monitor »
Inputs menu is useful when setting up these parameters.
For the forward and reverse directions, read the displayed rottle Pot voltage at the point when
the throttle moves out of neutral and at the point just before full throttle and enter these values for
the deadband and max settings for that direction. Set up the remaining parameters in the rottle
Menu as required by the application.
Verify that the throttle settings are correct by checking the Mapped rottle value displayed in the
Monitor » Inputs menu over the entire range of throttle pot movement. e value displayed for
Mapped rottle should be = 0% through the range of throttle motion that is considered neutral.
e displayed Mapped rottle should be = 100% through the range of motion that is considered
maximum forward throttle and it is = –100% through the range considered maximum reverse throttle.
Contact your Curtis distributor or support engineer to resolve any issues about the throttle setup
before continuing with the initial setup procedures.
Step 7: Brake (see page 48)
If the brake function is not used by your application, set the Brake Pedal Enable parameter = O
and Brake Type = 5.
Before the brake can be set up the interlock must be veried as O. Read the Interlock value displayed
in the Monitor » Inputs menu. If the 1313/1314 programmer indicates the interlock is On, review how
you set the Interlock Type parameter (Drivers » Main Contactor Menu) and turn the interlock o.
e Brake Type parameter must be set to match the type of brake throttle (1, 2, 3, 5) and wiring.
Next, adjust the Brake Deadband and Brake Max parameters to match the range of the brake pot. e
Brake Pot value (Pot2 Raw) displayed in the Monitor » Inputs menu is useful when setting up these
parameters. Read the displayed brake pot voltage at the point when the brake moves out of neutral
and at the point just before full brake. Enter in these values for the deadband and max parameter
settings. en set up the other parameters in the Brake Menu as required by the applications.
Verify that that the brake settings are correct by checking the Mapped Brake value displayed in the
Monitor » Inputs menu over the entire range of brake pot movement. e value displayed for Mapped
Brake should be = 0% through the range of brake pot motion that is considered neutral. e displayed
Mapped Brake should be = 100% through the range of motion that is considered maximum brake.
Contact your Curtis distributor or support engineer to resolve any issues about the brake setup before
continuing with the setup procedure.
Step 8: Motor Technology & Feedback Type (see pages 55 and 59)
Set the Motor Technology parameter to match the motor used in your application
(0 = ACIM, 1 = SPM).
Set the Motor Feedback Type parameter based on the Motor Technology setting:
Feedback Type = 1 (quadrature position encoder) for ACIM,
Feedback Type = 2 (Sin/Cos sensor) for SPM.
