1230 AC Controller

Product Summary

DESCRIPTION

Curtis Model 1230 programmable speed controllers provide smooth and seamless control of AC induction motors. An advanced MOSFET power section, combined with a sophisticated micro-processor provides high efficiency and silent operation.

 

 

APPLICATION

The Curtis 1230 AC controller is designed for small material handling and other light industrial vehicles using AC induction motors, such as pallet movers, stackers, personnel carriers and sweeper/scrubbers.

FEATURES

State-of-the-art Design

•Responsive and accurate closed-loop speed control.

•Smooth regenerative braking and seamless reversing.

•Internal battery discharge indicator (BDI), hour meter and maintenance timer.

•High frequency, silent MOSFET design.

•Compact and rugged housing with fuse mounting.

 

Highly Flexible and Programmable

•Fully compatible with the Curtis 1311 handheld and 1314 PC programming station for testing, diagnostics and parameter adjustments.

•Multimode™ feature allows two selectable vehicle operating profiles.

•Programmable forward and reverse speeds, acceleration and deceleration/braking rates.

•Serial interface for the Model 840 gauge for BDI, hour meter, timer and fault code display

•Multiple throttle types supported; 5kΩ, 0-5V and wig-wag.

•Easily configured to match most AC induction motors.

• Electromagnetic brake driver (2 amps).

 

Safe and Protected

•Meets or exceeds EEC fault detection and safety requirements.

•Emergency reverse function with signal continuity check.

•“Ramp restraint” feature restricts vehicle movement while in neutral.

•Power-on self test and continuous fault monitoring.

•Dual watchdog circuits ensure proper software operation.

•Programmable High Pedal Disable (HPD) and Static Return to Off (SRO) functions.

• Shorted and open throttle faults are detected with proper controller shutdown.
