1 — OVERVIEW
1 — OVERVIEW
e Curtis 1353 is a CANopen interface module with hydraulic system oriented functions, inputs,
and outputs. It provides simple, exible, and cost-eective control of up to nine proportional or on/
o hydraulic valves. It can be used on internal combustion engines and electric vehicles.
e 1353 can extend the I/O capabilities of the Curtis VCL-driven system and enhance the systems
that use Curtis AC controllers by providing additional I/O. Although the 1353 has specic features
orienting it towards hydraulic valve control, the I/O and rmware are designed to give it the exibility
to be used in many generic applications, such as Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) and
aerial lis.
e housing is designed to meet the dicult environment seen in material handling and outdoor
equipment. is water-tight design can survive high shock, vibration, freezing, and dust. One section
of the housing is aluminum which allows a simple method for heat-sinking the internal drivers.

Features include:
• 9 high-frequency output drivers, which can also be used as active-high digital inputs.
• Closed loop constant current, constant voltage, or direct PWM control on each output.
• Built-in programmable dither control for hydraulic valves.
• Min/Max current and Ramp up/down time setting for driver outputs.
• Built-in coil yback diodes.
• 6 analog inputs (0–15V), which can also be used as virtual digital inputs.
