PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – INSTALLATION
1.3.2 i-Drive 140A and 180A Controllers
1.4 Program Settings
Controllers are always supplied by PGDT with the preset settings shown on the data sheet.
It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to program the control system to suit the machine model
and ensure safe operation in compliance with relevant legal requirements over the whole of the
operating range. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind due to failure to, or incorrect
programming of, the i-Drive controller.
Refer to Chapter 3 for details of programmable
parameters.
The machine must stop within the maximum distance specified for the country in which the machine will be used.
If the machine requires very low braking rates and this results in a longer stopping distance, the maximum speed must be
reprogrammed so that the stopping distance requirement is satisfied.
State in the machine user handbook that it is the responsibility of the person programming the controller to make sure that the
stopping distance requirement is satisfied. If the braking rate is low, the forward and reverse maximum speed settings may need
to be reprogrammed.
To assist the person in this task, include a graph in the machine user handbook showing the relationship between the maximum
forward/reverse speed settings and the forward/reverse braking rate which is required to ensure the correct stopping distance.
