Max Speed 100 – 8000 Defines the maximum requested motor rpm at full
Max_Speed_SpdMx rpm throttle. Partially- applied throttle is scaled
0x3840 0x00 100 – 8000 proportionately; e.g., 40% applied throttle
corresponds to a request for 40% of the set Max
Speed Value.
If Max_Speed_SpdMx is set <10 rpm (through
VCL or CAN), the throttle request is zeroed
NOTE: The maximum motor rpm is subject to the
constraints
Kp 0 – 100% Determines how aggressively the speed
Kp_SpdMx controller attempts to match the speed of the
0 – 8192
0x3841 0x00 motor to the commanded speed. Larger values
provide tighter control.
If the gain is set too high, you may experience
oscillations as the controller tries to control speed.
If it is set too low, the motor may behave sluggishly
and be difficult to control.
Ki 5 – 100% The integral term (Ki) forces zero steady state
Ki_SpdMx error, so the motor will run at exactly the
50 – 1000
0x3842 0x00 commanded speed. Larger values provide tighter
control.
If the gain is set too high, you may experience
oscillations as the controller tries to control speed.
If it is set too low, the motor may take a long time
to approach the exact commanded speed.
Accel Rate 0.1 – 30.0 s Sets the rate (in seconds) at which the speed
Accel_Rate_SpdMx command increases when throttle is applied.
100 – 30000
0x3843 0x00 Larger values represent slower response.
Decel Rate 0.1 – 30.0 s Sets the rate (in seconds) that is used to slow down
Decel_Rate_SpdMx the vehicle when the throttle is reduced. Larger
100 – 30000
0x3847 0x00 values represent slower response.
Brake Rate 0.1 – 30.0 s Sets the rate (in seconds) at which the vehicle
Brake_Rate_SpdMx slows down when brake is applied or when throttle
100 – 30000
0x3848 0x00 is applied in the opposite direction. Larger values
represent slower response.
Pump Enable* On / Off This parameter should be programmed On to
|AC_Pump_Enable_SpdM operate a pump motor rather than a vehicle drive
On / Off
|AC_Pump_Enable_SpdM_ motor. The speed-controller responsiveness and
Bit0 [Bit 0]
stability are enhanced for pump-motor
0x3896 0x00 applications.
Regen Lower Enable* On / Off This parameter works together with Pump Enable
Regen_Lower_Enable_S On / Off as follows:
pdM 1) When Pump Enable = On and Regen
Regen_Lower_Enable_S Lower Enable = On, the pump motor can turn in
pdM_Bit0 [Bit 0] both the forward and the reverse direction. In
0x3877 0x00 this case, the pump can be used as the Lower
function (reverse). The pump motor, when
“driven in reverse by a load” will also regen
current in a similar fashion to a drive-motor
regenerative braking.
2) When Pump Enable = On and Regen
Lower Enable = Off, the pump motor can turn
26/174

only in the forward direction. In this case, a


hydraulic valve is typically used for the Lower
function.
3) When Pump Enable = Off, the Regen
Lower Enable parameter has no effect on the
control system.
*This parameter appears twice in the parameter menu structure. Changing the value of this
parameter affects the same parameter in Speed Mode.

PARAMETER ALLOWABLE DESCRIPTI


RANGE ON
Kvff 0 – 500 A This velocity feedforward term is designed to
Kvff_SpdM 0 – 5000 improve throttle responsiveness and speed controller
0x3014 0x00 performance, especially at low speeds.
For traction systems, set it to 50–70% of the current
needed to maintain a very low speed, unloaded, on
flat ground.
For a pump system, set it to the lowest load current
(i.e., the current running at the minimum load).
Alternatively, the responsiveness of a pump speed
control loop can be significantly enhanced by using
a VCL program to continuously update this
parameter to the appropriate value as each pump
load is requested.
Build Rate 0.1 – 5.0 s Determines how fast the Kvff term builds up.
Vel_FF_Build_Rate_S
100 – 5000 For traction systems, if you feel or hear the
pdM
mechanical slop pick up abruptly when you move the
0x3093 0x00 throttle from neutral to a very small value, slowing
the build rate (i.e., setting it to a higher value) will
soften the feel.
For a pump system, start with this parameter at the
minimum setting. Slowing it down (i.e., setting it to a
higher value) will reduce speed overshoot if too much
feedforward has been commanded.
Release Rate 0.1 – 5.0 s Determines how fast the Kvff term releases. If the
Vel_FF_Release_Rate release seems too abrupt, slowing the release rate
100 – 5000
_SpdM (i.e., setting it to a higher value) will soften the feel.
0x3094 0x00 It should be set fast enough (i.e., at a low enough
value) to prevent the vehicle from running on after
throttle release.

Kaff 0 – 500 A This acceleration feedforward term is designed to
Kaff_SpdM 0 – 5000 improve throttle responsiveness and speed
0x3013 0x00 controller performance at all speeds. It can be
thought of as a “quick start” function which can
enhance responsiveness at all speeds.
Using your present accel and decel rates, observe
the average current you are running at full throttle at
low speeds while accelerating without load on flat
ground, and set Kaff to 50–70% of that value.
NOTE: If any accel rate parameters get changed,
this parameter will need to be changed also.
Kbff 0 – 500 A This braking feedforward term is designed to improve
Kbff_SpdM braking responsiveness at all speeds.
0 – 5000
0x3019 0x00 Using your present decel rates, observe the

100 – 5000 For traction systems, if you feel or hear the
pdM
mechanical slop pick up abruptly when you move the
0x3095 0x00 throttle from neutral to a very small value, slowing

Max Speed Accel 0.1 – 30.0 s In some applications, the Max Speed value is
Max_Speed_Accel_S changed frequently, through VCL or over the
100 – 30000
pdM CANbus. The Max Speed Accel parameter controls
0x384A 0x00 the rate at which the maximum speed setpoint is
allowed to change when the value of
Max Speed is raised. The rate set by this parameter
is the time to ramp from 0 rpm to Typical Max Speed
rpm.
For example, suppose Max Speed is raised from
1000 rpm to 4000 rpm. If Typical Max Speed is 5000
rpm and the rate is 10.0 seconds, it will take
10.0 X (4000–1000) ÷ 5000 = 6.0 seconds to ramp
from 1000 rpm to 4000 rpm.
Max Speed Decel 0.1 – 30.0 s This parameter works like the Max Speed Accel
Max_Speed_Decel_S parameter, except that it controls the rate at which
100 – 30000
pdM the maximum speed setpoint is allowed to change

For example, suppose you change Max Speed from
4500 rpm to 2500 rpm. If Typical Max Speed is 5000
rpm, and the rate is 5.0 seconds, it will take
5.0 X (4500–2500) ÷ 5000 = 2.0 seconds to ramp
from 4500 rpm to 2500 rpm.

Soft Stop Speed 0 – 500 Defines the speed below which a much slower decel
Soft_Stop_Speed rpm rate is used.
0x3027 0x00 0 – 500 A setting of zero disables the function. NOTE: This
parameter works only in Speed Mode and Speed
Mode Express.
Soft Stop Speed is useful for vehicles that have fast
deceleration and vehicles operating on ramps using
the Position Hold function.
With vehicles that have fast deceleration, the driver
may find the final speed reduction to zero rpm
uncomfortable; the vehicle may even rock back as a
result of tire wind-up. Soft Stop Speed allows the
vehicle to slow at the same fast rate until it reaches
the set threshold, at which point it changes to a
slower (softer) deceleration rate. However, if the
threshold is set too high, the vehicle will feel like it is
“running on.”
When throttle is released on a ramp, the vehicle may
roll back before Position Hold (see below) takes
control. Soft Speed Stop can be used to reduce the
amount of rollback, but shouldn’t be set so high the
vehicle drives up the ramp after the throttle is
released.

Position Hold Timeout 0.0 – This parameter plus the Position Hold Settling Time
Time 20.0 s parameter sets the maximum time the vehicle will stay
Position_Hold_Timeout_ in Position Hold before releasing the hold and going
Time 0 – 625
into Restraint mode. Setting the parameter to zero
0x388C 0x00 disables this timeout function, which means the
Position Hold will be held. Activating the interlock
resets the timer.
Kp 2 – 100% Determines the stiffness with which position is
Kp_Position_Hold regulated when in Position Hold mode. High Kp will
82 – 2048
0x388A 0x00 produce less rollback on a ramp, but more bouncing;
see Kd below. Too much Kp will cause instability.
Kd 0 – 100% Determines the damping in Position Hold mode. Some
Kd_Position_Hold damping must be present in the control system to keep
0 – 8192
0x388D 0x00 the vehicle from oscillating slowly (“bouncing”). High Kd
will improve the dynamic response of the Position Hold

Entry Rate 5 – 100% When the vehicle transitions from forward speed to
Entry_Rate_Position_Ho reverse speed or from reverse speed to forward
50 – 1000
ld speed (for example when coming to a stop going up a
0x383B 0x00 steep ramp) Position Hold is automatically entered
immediately at zero speed regardless of this
parameter.
This parameter applies when the vehicle needs to be
brought to a stop without the assistance of gravity (for
example when moving forward down a ramp).
This rate determines how quickly zero speed is
attained after the ramped speed request reaches
zero. Setting this parameter too high will make the
stop seem very abrupt and may even cause the
vehicle to roll back slightly. When the parameter is set
lower the vehicle take longer to come to a stop and
enter Position Hold mode.
Exit Rollback 0 – 100% This function is applicable when the Torque Preload
Reduction Enable function has been Disabled (Off) or the Torque
0 – 2048
Exit_Rollback_Reduction Preload Cancel Delay timer has expired (see EM
0x3844 0x00 Brake menu). Exit Rollback Reduction is only intended
for use with EM Brake Type = 2, for EM Brake Type =
1 (or 0) set Exit Rollback Reduction = 0.
Exit Rollback Reduction introduces an additional
control function for the speed controller to reduce
rollback on a ramp after a throttle command is
applied from a stop. For example, suppose the
vehicle is on a ramp facing upwards and, after a
forward throttle request, the vehicle rolls back slightly
before climbing the ramp (again, assuming the
torque preload function is inactive). As the vehicle
rolls back,
this additional term will be added to the torque request
until forward speed is sensed, to attempt to minimize
rollback. The effect increases with percentage, and is
disabled when = 0%. Setting the value too high may
introduce temporary oscillations.
If the Torque Preload Cancel Delay parameter
expires before the throttle is re- engaged, the torque
preload [Position Hold] memory will be cleared. In
such a case, setting Exit Rollback Reduction to > 0%
will reduce unintended roll. (see page 51).

Regen Lower Enable* On / This parameter works together with Pump Enable
Regen_Lower_Enable_S Off as follows:
pdM On / 1) When Pump Enable = On and Regen
Regen_Lower_Enable_S Off Lower Enable = On, the pump motor can turn in
pdM_Bit0 [Bit 0] both the forward and the reverse direction. In
0x3877 0x00 this case, the pump can be used as the Lower

“driven in reverse by a load” will also regen
current in a similar fashion to a drive-motor
regenerative braking.
2) When Pump Enable = On and Regen
Lower Enable = Off, the pump motor can turn
only in the forward direction. In this case, a
hydraulic valve is typically used for the Lower
function.
3) When Pump Enable = Off, the Regen
Lower Enable parameter has no effect on the
control system.
*This parameter appears twice in the parameter menu structure. Changing the value of this

2 – TORQUE MODE — SPEED LIMITER MENU


PARAMETER ALLOWABLE DESCRIPTI

Max Speed 500 – 8000 Defines the maximum allowed motor rpm for torque
Max_Speed_TrqM rpm control mode (independent of throttle position). In
0x3021 0x00 500 – 8000 torque control mode, full throttle requests 100% of
the available torque. Partially-applied throttle is
scaled proportionately; e.g., 40% applied throttle
corresponds to a request for 40% of the available
torque.
NOTE: The maximum motor rpm is subject to the
constraints on page 24.
Kp 0 – 100% Determines how aggressively the speed controller
Kp_TrqM attempts to limit the speed of the motor to Max
0 – 8192
0x3023 0x00 Speed. Larger values provide tighter control.
If Kp is set too high, you may experience oscillations
as the controller tries to control speed. Setting Kp
too low may result in a top speed much higher than
Max Speed.
36/174

Ki 5 – 100% The integral term (Ki) forces zero steady state error,
Ki_TrqM so the motor speed will be limited to Max Speed.
50 – 1000
0x3025 0x00 Larger values provide faster control.
If the gain is set too high, you may experience

is set too low, it may take a long time for the motor to
approach Max Speed from overspeed.
Kd 0 – 100% Provides damping as the vehicle approaches top
Kd_TrqM speed, thereby reducing overshoot. If Kd is set too

Accel Rate 0.1 – 30.0 s Sets the rate (in seconds) at which the motor
Accel_Rate_TrqM
100 – 30000 torque increases to full when full throttle is applied.
0x3026 0x00 Larger values represent slower response.
Accel Release Rate 0.1 – 2.0 s Determines how quickly deceleration will be
Accel_Release_Rate_TrqM
100 – 2000 initiated when the throttle is released while the
0x3028 0x00 vehicle is still accelerating. If the release rate
is fast (i.e., set to a low value), the transition is
initiated abruptly. The transition is smoother if the
release rate is set to a higher value (slower
transition); however, setting the rate too high can
cause the vehicle to feel uncontrollable when the
throttle is released, as it will continue to drive for a
short time.
Brake Rate 0.1 – 5.0 s Adjusts the rate (in seconds) at which braking
Brake_Rate_TrqM
100 – 5000 torque builds as the vehicle transitions from drive
0x3029 0x00 to braking when direction is reversed, the brake
pedal is applied, or neutral braking begins. Lower
values represent faster times and therefore faster
braking; gentler braking is achieved by setting the
braking rate to a higher value.
Brake Release Rate 0.1 – 2.0 s Adjusts the rate (in seconds) at which braking
Brake_Release_Rate_TrqM
100 – 2000 torque releases as as the vehicle transitions from
0x3831 0x00 braking to drive.
Neutral Braking 0 – 100% Neutral braking occurs progressively when the
Neutral_Braking_TrqM throttle is reduced toward the neutral position or
0 – 32767
0x302E 0x00 when no direction is selected. The neutral braking
parameter is adjustable from 0 to 100% of the
regen current limit (see Current Limits menu, page
43).
Neutral Taper Speed 200 – 6000 Determines the motor speed below which
Neutral_Taper_Speed_TrqM rpm neutral braking current is adjusted when
0x302F 0x00 200 – 6000 throttle is reduced; see Figure 9.
The neutral braking current is linearly reduced by
the product of the parameters, Neutral Braking x
Regen Current Limit, at the Neutral Taper Speed to
the Creep Torque current at zero rpm motor speed.
NOTE: Setting the taper speed too low may cause
oscillations in the motor.
Forward Full Restraint 100 – Sets the speed point at which the full regen
Speed 32000 rpm current will be applied to restrain the vehicle from
Forward_Full_Restraint_Spe rolling forward. Although this speed is never
ed _TrqM 100 –
32000 actually reached, it does set the slope of the
0x386D 0x00 restraint strength and can be thought of as a
gain; see Figure 9. Setting this parameter too low
can cause oscillations.
Back Full Restraint Speed 100 – Sets the speed point at which the full regen current
Back_Full_Restraint_Speed 32000 rpm will be applied to restrain the vehicle from rolling in
_TrqM _TrqM reverse (backward). Although this speed is never
100 –

Creep Torque 0 – 100% Determines the amount of torque applied to the
Creep_Torque_TrqM vehicle at a stop with no throttle input, to emulate the
0 – 32767
0x3071 0x00 feel of an automatic transmission automobile; see
Fig. 9.
WARNING! When interlock is engaged, creep torque
allows vehicle propulsion if a direction is selected
even though no throttle is applied. Care should be
taken when setting up this parameter.
If pedal braking is enabled (page 48), creep torque is
progressively disabled as brake is applied so as to
prevent the motor from driving into the brakes and
thus wasting energy.
Creep Torque and Neutral Taper Speed interact to
create the slope of the torque response as the
vehicle approaches zero speed; see Figure 9. If the
vehicle oscillates as it coasts down toward zero
speed, try lowering Creep Torque or increasing
Neutral Taper Speed.
Brake Full Creep 25 – 100% Determines the amount of brake pedal input that
Cancel will fully cancel the creep torque. Amount of
8192 – 32767
Brake_Full_Creep_Can cancellation is proportional to the brake input.

rqM torque or when the direction switches are cleared
0x3833 0x00 (neutral).
Gear Soften 0 – 100% Adjusts the throttle take-up from linear (0%
Gear_Soften_TrqM setting) to an S curve. Larger values create softer
0 – 5000
0x302A 0x00 throttle take-up, in forward and reverse. Softening
is progressively reduced at higher speeds; see
Figure 10.
Brake Taper Speed 200 – 6000 rpm Determines the motor speed below which the
Brake_Taper_Speed_Tr maximum braking current is linearly reduced from
200 – 6000
qM 100% to 0% at zero speed; see Figure 11. Setting the
0x300F 0x00 taper speed too low for the braking current will cause
oscillations in the motor as it attempts to brake the
vehicle to a stop on very steep slopes.
Taper speed is applicable only in response to brake
pedal input; it does not affect direction reversal
braking or neutral braking.
If the vehicle is in restraint when the brake is
pressed, the applied braking torque is affected by
both Brake Taper Speed and Forward (or Back) Full
Restraint Speed. If the vehicle oscillates in this
mode, it may be necessary to increase one or more
of these parameters.

Reversal Soften 0 – 100% Larger values create a softer reversal from regen
Reversal_Soften braking to drive when near zero speed. This helps
0 – 3000
0x3074 0x00 soften the transition when the regen and drive
current limits are set to different values
Note: This parameter is not mode-specific and
appears in two places. Changing the value of this
torque-mode parameter affects the parameter listed
in: Program » Speed Mode » Response » Fine
Tuning » Reversal Soften.
Max Speed Decel 0.1 – 30.0 s In some applications, the Max Speed value is
Max_Speed_Decel_Trq changed frequently, through VCL or over the
100 – 30000
M CANbus. The Max Speed Decel parameter controls
0x3835 0x00 the rate at which the maximum speed setpoint is
allowed to change when the value of
Max Speed is lowered. The rate set by this parameter
is the time to ramp from Typical Max Speed rpm to 0
rpm.
For example, suppose you change Max Speed from
3000 rpm to 1000 rpm. If Typical Max Speed is 5000
rpm, and the rate is 5.0 seconds, it will take
5.0 X (3000–1000) ÷ 5000 = 2.0 seconds to ramp
from 3000 rpm to 1000 rpm.

2. single-ended 3-wire 1 kΩ–10 kΩ
potentiometer, or 0–5 V voltage source
3. 2-wire rheostat, 0–5 kΩ input
4. wigwag 3-wire 1 kΩ–10 kΩ potentiometer, or
0–5 V voltage source
5. VCL input (VCL_Throttle)
NOTE: Do not change this parameter while the
controller is powering the motor. Any time this
parameter is changed a Parameter Change Fault
(fault code 49) is set and must be cleared by
cycling power; this protects the controller and the
operator.
Forward Deadband 0.00 – 5.00 V Defines the wiper voltage at the throttle deadband
threshold. Increasing the Forward_Deadband 0 – 32767 throttle deadband setting will
increase the neutral range. This parameter 0x3001 0x00 is especially useful with
throttle assemblies that do not reliably return to a
well-defined neutral point, because it allows the
deadband to be defined
wide enough to ensure that the controller goes into
neutral when the throttle mechanism is released.
Forward Map 0 – 100% Modifies the vehicle’s response to the throttle input.
Setting the throttle map
Forward_Map 0 – 32767 at 50% provides a linear output response to throttle
position. Values below
0x3002 0x00 50% reduce the controller output at low throttle
settings, providing enhanced slow speed
maneuverability. Values above 50% give the vehicle
a faster, more responsive feel at low throttle settings.
The map value is the percentage of controller
output at half throttle [(deadband + max)/2].
Forward Max 0.00 – 5.00 V Defines the wiper voltage required to produce 100%
controller output.
Forward_Max 0 – 32767 Decreasing the throttle max setting reduces the wiper
voltage and therefore
0x3003 0x00 the full stroke necessary to produce full controller
output. This parameter allows reduced-range
throttle assemblies to be accommodated
Forward Offset 0 – 100% Defines the initial controller output generated when
the throttle is first rotated
Forward_Offset 0 – 32767 out of the neutral deadband. For most vehicles, a
setting of 0 is appropriate.
0x3004 0x00 For heavy vehicles, however, increasing the offset
may improve controllability by reducing the amount
of throttle required to start the vehicle moving.

vehicle speed, so reversing direction with throttle
input
>25% will result in a fault.

No SRO check is made with this type, so the order


of the interlock and direction inputs does not matter
The HPD/Sequencing Fault is cleared by returning
the throttle input to
<25% or the direction inputs to Off.
Sequencing Delay 0.0 – Typically the sequencing delay feature allows the
Sequencing_Delay 5.0 s interlock switch to be cycled within a set time (the
0x3009 0x00 0– defined sequencing delay), thus preventing
1250 inadvertent activation of HPD/SRO. This feature is
especially useful in applications where the interlock
switch may bounce or be momentarily cycled during
operation.
VCL Throttle Enable On / When programmed On, the throttle processing with
|VCL_Throttle_Enable Off fault detection will operate normally; however, the

Brake Type PCF 0–2 This brake type parameter determines how the
EM_Brake_Type EM brake responds to the interlock input,
0–2
0x3097 0x00 throttle, and vehicle motor speed.
0. EM brake function disabled. The EM brake
driver (PWM2) is released to general I/O
use with VCL.
1. EM brake controlled by interlock. The
controller will command the EM brake to
release whenever the interlock is closed
(Interlock = On). If interlock braking is
enabled and the interlock opens when the
vehicle is moving at motor speed greater
than Set_Speed_Threshold, the controller
will brake the vehicle to a stop (with
interlock braking) and then command the
EM brake to set. If the vehicle motor speed
is less than this threshold, the EM brake will
engage after the Sequencing_Delay has
expired.
If interlock braking is disabled, the EM
brake will engage after the
Sequencing_Delay has expired.
2. EM brake controlled by interlock and
neutral. The controller will command the
EM brake to set whenever the throttle
command is zero and motor speed is less
than Set_Speed_Threshold. Position Hold
will be enabled automatically.
Pull In Voltage 0 – 100% The EM brake pull-in voltage allows a high
EM_Brake_Pull_In_Voltage initial voltage when the EM brake first turns on,
0 – 32767
0x3072 0x00 to ensure brake release. After 1 second, this
peak voltage drops to the EM brake holding
voltage.
Note: The Battery Voltage Compensated
parameter controls whether the pull-in and
holding voltages are battery voltage
compensated.
Holding Voltage 0 – 100% The EM brake holding voltage allows a
EM_Brake_Holding_Voltage reduced average voltage to be applied to the
0 – 32767
0x3098 0x00 brake coil once the brake has been released.
This parameter must be set high enough to
hold the brake released under all shock and
vibration conditions the vehicle will be
subjected to.
Note: The Battery Voltage Compensated
parameter controls whether the pull-in and
holding voltages are battery voltage
compensated.
49/174
Battery Voltage Compensated On / Off This parameter determines whether the EM
|EM_Brake_Battery_Voltage_Comp brake pull-in and holding voltages are battery

|EM_Brake_Battery_Voltage_Comp
ensated_Bit0 pull-in and holding voltages are compensated
[Bit 0] relative to the set Nominal Voltage (see
0x302D 0x00 Battery Menu, page 62). In other words, the
output voltage is adjusted to compensate for
swings in battery voltage, so the percentage is
relative to the set Nominal Voltage—not to the
actual voltage.
For example, suppose Nominal Voltage is set
to 48V and Holding Voltage is set to 75%
(36V) to the output driver. Now suppose the
bus voltage dips to 40V. If Battery Voltage
Compensated = On, the output will still be
36V (Nominal Voltage × Holding Voltage) to
the coil. If Battery Voltage Compensated =
Off, the output will be 30V (Actual Voltage ×
Holding Voltage) to the coil.
Set EM Brake On Fault On / Off When programmed On, the controller’s
operating system will set the
|EM_Brake_Set_Upon_Fault On / Off electromagnetic brake when a fault occurs that
has a fault action of
|EM_Brake_Set_Upon_Fault_Bit0 ShutdownEMBrake. See the Troubleshooting

Zero Speed Threshold 5 – 100 Determines the speed below which the EM
Zero_Speed_Threshold rpm brake will be commanded to set. Setting this

Off = When a valid throttle input is received,
the speed controller will start with no

0x386F 0x00 their respective parameters.
When set to 1, the main contactor will

For example, suppose Nominal Voltage

suppose the bus voltage dips to 40V. If
Battery Voltage Compensated = On, the

12800 Main DNC Runtime Threshold is the
maximum voltage difference between the
Keyswitch and Capacitor voltages. When
the voltage difference is above this
threshold, and the battery current is low,
a Main Did Not Close fault will be set.
Setting this parameter lower will increase
the sensitivity of the fault detection.
Setting this parameter too low may cause
false fault trips due to normal voltage
drops between the keyswitch and
capacitor voltages.
Setting this parameter = 0 V will disable
the Main Did Not Close fault check.

FW Base Speed 200 – 12000 Sets the speed at which modulation depth has
FW_Base_Speed rpm reached 100% (all available voltage is used) and
0x3857 0x00 200 – 12000 where field weakening begins. This parameter is
scaled by an internal motor characterization
parameter, so the setting of FW Base Speed should
always be done using the tuning test, which will take
into account the scaling factor. Entering a speed
observed from a torque vs. speed plot should not be
done, as this number fails to take into account the
internal scaling factor.
This parameter needs to be set during initial
setup (chapter 7) and reset each time the Motor
Type or the low speed current limit is changed.
For example, if the Drive_Current_Limit (page 43) or
PL_Drive_Nominal (page 44) parameters are
lowered, reset this FW Base Speed parameter.
To determine the correct value, perform this “base
speed” tuning test. The test should be run with
batteries that have a reasonable charge. In either
Speed Mode or Torque Mode, set their accel rates to
be fast—so the motor will
be accelerating at full current during the test. Next,
set this FW Base Speed parameter to 6000 rpm
(i.e., at a high-enough speed that its value will not
interfere with the test result). From a stop, apply full
throttle and accelerate to a high-speed beyond the
expected base speed. After the motor settles at this
speed for a moment, release the throttle to stop the
test. Note the value displayed in Monitor »
Controller » Motor Tuning » Base Speed Captured
(page 76), and enter this value for this FW Base
Speed parameter setting.
For traction motors, the test restarts each time the
vehicle comes to a stop and the throttle is released,
so be sure to note the Base Speed Captured value
before driving away.
For pump motors, follow the instructions in Chapter
8A, Part 2b.

Field Weakening 0 – 100% Sets the amount of field weakening allowed while
Drive driving the motor. Field Weakening Drive will affect
0 – 1024
Field_Weakening_Dri efficiency and torque only at speeds above the
ve
programmed FW Base Speed. Low settings will
0x3033 0x00 result in better efficiency but less torque; higher
settings will result in more torque and less
efficiency. A setting of zero will disable field
weakening, thus resulting in the highest efficiency
and lowest torque above base speed.
To keep motor and controller heating to a minimum
(high efficiency), Field Weakening Drive should be
set just high enough to meet the high speed
performance specifications. (Typical high speed
performance specifications are maximum drive
speed with full load, or maximum lift speed with full
load.) The drive current limiting map (Fig. 12, page
44) can also be used to restrict performance at all
speeds.
The maximum setting of the Field Weakening Drive
parameter depends on the type of motor
characterization that was used.
If the ACIM motor was dyno characterized (i.e.,
sent to the Curtis factory for characterization on
the motor dyno), Field Weakening Drive can be
set anywhere in the range of 0% (lowest torque,
highest efficiency) to 100% (highest torque, lowest
efficiency).
If the ACIM motor was auto characterized (i.e.,
characterized using the ACIM motor characterization
procedure in Chapter 8A), the range is restricted by
the results of the Field Weakening Test. For these
motors, Field Weakening Drive can be set anywhere
in the range of 0% (lowest torque, highest efficiency)
to Max Field Weakening Drive (highest torque,
lowest efficiency) result. For auto characterized
motors, setting Field Weakening Drive greater than
the maximum setting found in the Field Weakening
Test will result in poorer efficiency and less torque as
the motor will be operating “over the slip curve.”
NOTE: The Field Weakening Drive setting will have
no effect at motor speeds below FW Base Speed.

Bit0 [Bit 0]
Following an encoder failure ((either Encoder Fault
0x308F 0x00
(fault code 36) or Stall Detected (fault code 73)), and
after the Interlock is cycled, the vehicle enters LOS
mode thus allowing drive without motor encoder
feedback.
In LOS mode, the ability to achieve maximum
torque—even for a very short time—is considered
more important than smoothness.
When LOS mode is entered, the Encoder LOS fault
(fault code 93) becomes active and the encoder fault
((either Encoder Fault (fault code 36) or Stall
Detected (fault code 73)) is cleared.
When this parameter is programmed On, LOS mode
will be entered in the event of an encoder fault
followed by an Interlock cycle.
When programmed Off, in the event of an encoder
fault the encoder fault remains and drive is disabled.
LOS Max Speed 100 – 2000 This parameter indirectly defines the maximum speed
Enc_LOS_Max_Speed rpm for LOS mode by setting the maximum frequency that
0x3083 0x00 100 – 2000 corresponds to LOS Max Speed. In LOS mode the

Enc_LOS_Max_Mod_Depth to limit the current at higher speeds. This parameter
177 – 1182
0x3084 0x00 should be set such that the modulation depth limit is
reached prior to the LOS Max Speed limit, so that
the motor current will fall off from LOS Max Current
at higher speeds. This may allow the vehicle to
drive longer in LOS mode, as it lessens the chance
of the motor or controller overheating.
LOS Accel Rate 2.0 – 15.0 Defines the rate (in seconds) at which the frequency
Enc_LOS_Accel_Rate s increases when full throttle is applied, while
0x3086 0x00 2000 – operating in LOS mode. This parameter should be
15000 set to a slow rate (high parameter value) so the

ramps or obstacles to be overcome.

The Kp term is the proportional gain and is set in

The Ki term is the integral gain. Integral gain will
accumulate the voltage droop and attempt to bring

exceeds the Discharge Time / 100, the BDI
Percentage is decremented by one percentage
point and a new state of charge voltage level is
calculated.
State of Charge Level = [(Full Voltage Level -
Empty Voltage Level) x BDI Percentage / 100] +
Empty Voltage Level.
BDI Reset Percent 0 – 100% When a battery has a high BDI percentage, its
BDI_Reset_Percent float voltage at KSI On can sometimes cause
0 – 100
0x3174 0x00 false resets. The BDI Reset Percent parameter
addresses this problem by allowing the user to
define a BDI Percentage value above which the
BDI Percentage variable will not reset.
When KSI is first powered on, the BDI
Percentage variable will reset to 100% only if
((Keyswitch Voltage > Reset Voltage Level)
and (BDI Percentage < BDI Reset Percent)).
*To determine the number of cells in the battery pack, divide the Nominal Voltage setting (page 62) by
the battery chemistry’s nominal volts-per-cell.
Lead-acid: 2.0 V/cell, nominal.
Note: For non lead-acid batteries, including Lithium-Ion battery packs, use the pack’s or cell
manufacturer’s approved Battery Management System (BMS) for determining BDI.

RESET CONTROLLER PARAMETER

PARAMETER ALLOWABLE DESCRIPTI


RANGE ON
Reset Controller 0–1 Setting this parameter = 1 will reset the controller.
ResetController This reset is similar to resetting by cycling the
0–1
0x3B05 0x00 keyswitch. Reset Controller has the advantage of
resetting without causing the parameter block to
be reloaded into the 1313/1314 programmer.

CLONING CONTROLLERS
(for copying parameter settings to multiple controllers)
Once a controller has been programmed to the desired settings, these settings can
be transferred as a group to other controllers, thus creating a family of “clone”
controllers with identical settings.
Cloning only works between controllers with the same model number and
software version. For example, the 1313/1314 programmer can read all the
information from a 1236E-5421 controller and write it to other 1236E-5421
controllers; however, it cannot write that same information to 1236E- 5521 or
1236SE-5621 controllers.
To perform cloning, plug the programmer (1313 or 1314) into the controller that has
the desired settings. While the steps using the 1313 versus the 1314 are slightly
different in terms of screen images, the basic concept is the same: Save the
parameters from the controller to clone, which is the act of saving a “.CPF” file (Curtis
Program File) using the Save/Save As . . . operations. When saving the CPF file,
chose a file name with meaning as this CPF file is used to write (clone) its data to
subsequent controllers.
For example, using the 1314 PC Programming Station, with the controller to be
updated connected, select “open” in the File menu, then navigate to the above
mentioned (saved) CPF file, which will be loaded (indicated) below the menus bar. In
the Communication menu, select the “Save file to connected system (F6)” icon, and
follow the prompts to copy the settings into the controller being cloned (i.e., the
“connected System” or controller). The 1313 is slightly different, working off the SD
card where the CPF file was saved versus the PC’s hard drive, and then using the
“Restore” feature to download the settings into the controller being cloned.
For cloning Dual Drive controllers, the Master controller parameters will also be
loaded into Slave controller, then the parameters for the Slave-vs-Master must be
adjusted using the 1313/1314, as corresponds to the differences between the master
and slave dual-drive controllers. See the separate Dual Drive manual, p/n 53097-DD,
for the specific steps to preform for cloning/setup of the Master and Slave Dual-Drive
controllers.
Note: Using either programmer (1313/1314), the prompts will offer “Advanced Cloning” .
...
Advanced Cloning is advisable ONLY under the direction of your Curtis distributor or
support engineer, because it restores all parameters, including those at a higher
(hidden level). Due to possible conflicts, select “No” in the 1313 prompt, or do not
“check” the box in the 1314).

Checking as to be done as follow:
1/ Error code
2/ Connections and wiring
3/ Controller supply see (80.5.4.1.3)
4/ Input output see (80.5.4.1.3)

80.5.4.5 Maintenance
Controller has no user repair parts. Do not try to open, repair or alter the controller. Otherwise it may
damage the controller and also invalid the guarantee.

It’s suggested to keep the controller clean and dry, periodically check and get rid of diagnose historical files.

Cleaning

Periodically clean the outside controller is good for preventing corrosion or other controller fault from dirty,
dust and chemical, which is part of the environment and always exist in battery power supply system.

Be careful when operating the truck power supplied by battery. Including but not limit to the following:
correct training, wear goggles, do not wear loose clothing and jewelry.
99/174

Carry out maintenance according to the following cleaning procedure. Never clean the controller with high
pressure washer.

– Remove battery to disconnect power.

– Connect load(like contactor coil or horn) between controller B+ and B- to discharge controller capacity.

– Clean dirt or corrosive on the power and signal binding post. Wipe the controller with wet cloth, dry the
controller before connecting the battery. Controller can’t suffer the water impact with pressure.

– Make sure the wiring is correct and fastened.

WARNING

Strictly prohibit water in the product. Strictly prohibit operating with electricity. Strictly prohibit reverse
polarity. Strictly prohibit motor short circuit.

80.5.4.6 Controller exchange


Motor controller, fuse protector and fuse are installed on the electronic control mounting bracket,

when mounting the controller, apply heat conduction silicon grease to its bottom.

Avant tout échange de variateur, les contrôles suivants sont à effectuer :

1. Contrôle de la batterie :

Homing 0 – 100% Defines the speed of the steering motor


Speed during the homing function, as a

(0x378900, 0 – 32767 percentage of the steer motor Max


16bits) Speed. The lower the set value of
Homing Speed, the more accurate the
homing will be; it is therefore
recommended that Homing Speed be
set as low as tolerable. Although higher
values will allow the homing function to
be completed more quickly, the results
will be less consistent than with lower

Pull-In 60.0% – The relay pull-in voltage parameter


Voltage 100.0% allows a high initial voltage when the
(0x34C600, relay driver first turns on, to ensure
16bits) 2457 – contactor closure. After 1 second, the
4095 pull-in voltage drops to the holding
voltage. The voltage is a percentage of
the nominal voltage.

4095 the nominal voltage. This parameter
must be set high enough to hold the

vibration conditions the vehicle will be
subjected to.

Main DNC 0 – 10.0V Sets the threshold used for the ongoing
Threshold check that ensures the main contactor
(0x34C300, 0 – 1000 remains closed while in operation. The

A value of 0mA turns off the minimum


current check.

The minimum current check function


CAUTION does not support a sensor (pot or
encoder) with an operation current < 5
mA.

If the setting is 0, it may cause a higher


probability of dangerous failure due to
the disabled disconnected fault
detection of the command/position
sensor power supply wires, and must
be evaluated by the OEM.

5V Supply 2 0 – 100mA This parameter defines the minimum


Current Min current threshold of external 5V supply
(0x36A900, 0 – 100 2 for the ‘5V Supply failure’ fault
16bits) detection.

A value of 0mA turns off the minimum


current check.

The minimum current check function


does not support a sensor (pot or

Stall 0 – 500rpm This parameter defines the speed


Steering below which the steer motor will be
Speed 0 – 500 considered stalled if it remains below
(0x352A00, this speed for the length of time defined
16bits) by the Stall Timeout parameter. When

FOLLOWING ERROR NAME ALLOWABL DESCRIPTION


E RANGE
RAW DATA

Error 2.0° – 90.0° Defines the maximum difference


Tolerance allowed between Steering Command
(0x379200, 364 – (deg) and Wheel Position (deg). The
16bits) 16383 difference can be seen in the monitor
variable Following Error (deg).If the
programmed Error Tolerance (deg) is
exceeded for the programmed Error
Time while the wheel speed is less than
the programmed Speed Tolerance, a
Following Error fault is issued.A setting
of Error Tolerance (deg) = 90.0° turns
off this fault check.

Speed 0 – 500rpm This parameter defines the minimum


Tolerance allowed speed for the steered wheel.
(0x382400, 0 – 500
16bits) This is a second condition for the
Following Error check. By checking the
velocity of the steered wheel (first
derivative of Wheel Position) this check
ensures that the steered wheel is
moving in the correct direction at or
above the minimum allowed speed.
The wheel speed can be seen in the
monitor variable Motor RPM. A setting
of Speed Tolerance = 0.0 removes the
influence of steered wheel speed from
the Following Error check.

Setting Speed Tolerance to a value


greater than zero (thus enabling the
influence of wheel speed in the
Following Error check) should allow the
Error Tolerance (deg) and Error Time
121/174

parameters to be set lower without


false fault trips.

Setting Error Time lower allows the


Following Error fault to be detected
more quickly.

Error Time 0.1 – 10.0s Defines how long Error Tolerance (deg)
(0x379700, can be exceeded if the steered wheel is
16bits) 25 – 2500 not moving in the right direction with a
Wheel Speed equal to or greater than
the Speed Tolerance.Since the first
derivative (Wheel Speed) is inherently
noisy, the timer is implemented as a
count-up/count-down timer (Following
Error Time accumulated) where the
fault time is set by the parameter Error
Time.Example: If Error Tolerance (deg)
= 5 and Speed Tolerance = 10, the
Following Error Time Accumulated will
count up when the Error Tolerance is
>5 and the Wheel Speed <10.
Following Error Time Accumulated will
count down if either the Error Tolerance
≤ 5 or the Wheel Speed ≥10. Error
Time must be set long enough for the
steered wheel to reverse direction and
reach the minimum speed (Speed
Tolerance) under the worst case
conditions.

80.5.5.5 Steering sensor:


80.5.5.5.1 Toggle inductive sensor

This an inductive sensor

At startup this switch determines with wether the wheel came is left or right positioned compare to toggle
switch.

If it is on the right, steering motor will turn anticlockwise in order to switch toggle switch for steering wheel
initialization.

If it is on the right, steering motor will turn anticlockwise in order to switch toggle switch for steering wheel
initialization.

Sensor calibration

When power is on of the truck, the driving system will adjust the driving wheel

in the middle position automatically. You can check if the driving wheel is in the

middle or not by the Zero position switch. If the zero position switch is facing the

circle on the gear, as picture 1 shows, it means the driving wheel is in the middle.

whose status should look like picture 2. If it failed to match, it can be adjust by the

angle sensor to realize the calibration of zero position switch.

Tiller angle sensor adjustment:

First step:Releasing the tigthening bolts of angle sensor.

Step 2: If the wheel is left skewed, please rotate the angle sensor right. If the wheel is right skewed, then
rotate the angle sensor left. Until the zero position switch is facing the circle on the gear.

Traction Controller diagnosis and troubleshooting

Le variateur de traction peut détecter les pannes ou informations d’erreurs dans les différentes situations.

Diagnostics information can be obtained in three ways:

①by reading the two fault codes displayed on the instrument (the first two fault code for drive controller, the
second two fault code for steering controller)

②by observing the fault codes issued by the Status LEDs;

③by reading the display on the programmer

The pair of LEDs built into the Traction controller (one red, one yellow) produce flash codes displaying all
the currently set faults in a repeating cycle.

80.6.1.1 By LED

Affichage Information

LED light is off Controller power is not on; or vehicle has dead
battery; or other severe damage.
150/
174

LED light flashes yellow Controller is in normal working status.

LED light is often red Controller failed to supervise or did not load
software. Restart KSI cycle, load software if
necessary.

LED flashes yellow or red alternately Controller has detected a fault.

Red and yellow lights flash alternately in a repeated interval when there detects fault. Each code consists of
two digits. The red LED flashes once to indicate that the first digit of the code will follow; the yellow LED
then flashes the appropriate number of times for the first digit. The red LED flashes twice to indicate that
the second digit of the code will follow; the yellow LED flashes the appropriate number of times for the
second digit.

For example:fault name “Battery Undervoltage” (relevant code 23).

In the handheld programmer fault menu, display word “Undervoltage Cutback”; and the current battery
voltage display on the monitor menu(“Keyswitch Voltage”).

LED status indicator light shows as follows:

Red Yellow Red Yellow

✱ ✲✲ ✱✱ ✲✲✲

(First digit) (2) (2ènd digit) (3)

The numerical codes used by the yellow LED are listed in the troubleshooting chart (Table 6), which also
lists possible fault causes and describes the conditions that set and clear each fault.

Troubleshooting

This fault codes provide the following information:

– Fault code

– Display fault name on the Curtis programmer


151/174

– Display caused by the fault

– Probable fault reason

– Fault deep reason

– Troubleshooting

When there is fault, if it’s affirmed not the wiring error or truck malfunction, you can try to restart through key
switch. If fault still exists, please turn down key switch, check if the connector of pin 35 connects right or
gets dirt, after repair and clean , reconnect, and then start again.

80.6.1.2 By display
Error code and its meaning

Usually, the steering electrical controller default will cause the error code 3.1 of

driving electrical controller. For an example”3.1, 4.1”, if the error code 4.1 of steering

electrical controller be solved, driving electrical controller 3.1 will disappear at the same

time.

Error code 4.1 means:The input power of the analog port of the steering electrical

controller is out of range. The analog input signal of this port comes from the angle

sensor. Therefore, when this fault occurs, the first step is to detect whether the wiring the harness related to
the angle sensor is broken or disconnected. The second step is to easure the input signal of the angle
sensor to see if it is within the range of 0.1-5V. If not, replace the angle sensor,pls.

TRA5.2 is a custom error tiller communication error of the drive electrical controller .

Solutions: 1. Check whether the CAN communication wires between the drive electrical

the controller and the tiller are disconnected or connected. 2. Measure whether the

resistance at both ends of the CAN communication wires is 60 ohms or not , Whether the
152/
174

voltage is about 2.5V or not, 3. Check whether the power supply of the tillere is normal, 4.

Replace the tiller.

TRA4.7 is an error of the operation sequence of the drive electrical controller. The

causes of this error are: the key switch, interlock switch, direction switch, and accelerator

input sequence failure; solution: 1. Check the operation sequence of each switch to

eliminate the operation problem; 2. Check the status of each switch, if there is an

abnormal status, replace the corresponding fault switch.

80.6.3 Steering controller diagnosis and troubleshooting


Steering controller is capable of detecting faults of various kinds of cases.As shown in
troubleshooting table, steering controller failure usually affect the traction controller.

You can get controller fault information in two ways:

① through the instrument display on two two fault code to obtain the fault information (the first two
fault code for walking controller, the second two fault code for steering controller);

②by reading the display of information on the handheld programmer.

Handheld programmer will be cleared after shows that since the last time to now all the history of
the fault information.The programmer shows wrong name.

For example, the Command Analog1 Out of Range (41) code.

In the handheld programmer error menu will display the word "Command Analog1 Out of
Range".Actual voltage according to the monitor menu (the Command Input » Analog Input » Analog
to 1).
