Curtis 1356/1356P CAN Expansion Module Manual, Rev. A
1
OVERVIEW
e Curtis 1356 and 1356P are CAN expansion modules that provide simple,
exible, and low-cost control of up to 18 I/O, two high-frequency driver out-
puts, one encoder input, and ve analog inputs. ese modules can be used
on electric vehicles and internal combustion engines.
e 1356 /1356P can extend the I/O capabilities of any Curtis VCL-driven
system and enhance systems that use Curtis AC controllers by providing ad-
ditional I/O. ese expansion modules have the exibility to be used in many
applications, such as Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), electric
forklifts, aerial lifts, etc.
Two versions of the module are available. e 1356 is a PCBA, for which
customers develop their own case to provide environmental protection. e
1356P comes potted with a plastic tray that provides IP65 water and dust
immunity for its electronics.
