MODEL 1244 SepEx®

Product catalog summary
Description: The Curtis PMC Model 1244 SepEx® programmable controllers are designed for smooth regenerative control of separately excited motors, featuring a high-efficiency MOSFET power section for silent operation and reduced losses.
Application: These controllers are suitable for small material handling and light industrial vehicles, such as low lifts, stackers, and personnel carriers.
Features:
  • Full bridge control for motor field reversing without direction contactors.
  • Compatibility with Model 1307 Programmer for programming and diagnostics.
  • Armature current control to reduce arcing and brush wear.
  • Regenerative braking for increased battery energy and reduced motor heating.
  • Adjustable neutral braking simulates compression braking.
  • MultiMode™ for four selectable vehicle operating profiles.
  • Programmable for specific motor characteristics.
  • Fault detection meeting EEC requirements.
  • Speed control via motor field control.
  • Passive regen for speed control on ramps.
  • Linear temperature cutback to prevent sudden power loss.
  • Undervoltage cutback to maintain battery voltage.
  • Programmable PWM drivers for contactors.
  • HPD and SRO interlock options for startup sequence.
  • Emergency reverse input for immediate reversal.
Specifications:
  • Voltage and current ratings vary by model, with armature ratings from 400 to 700 amps and field ratings of 50 to 60 amps.
  • Dimensions provided in millimeters.
Warranty: Two-year limited warranty from delivery.
Additional Features:
  • Electro-magnetic brake control.
  • Internal precharge circuit for certain models.
  • Auxiliary contactor driver for power steering pump.
  • Reverse signal output for alarms and lights.
  • Closed-loop speed control with pulse speed sensor.
  • CAN interface for control and programming access.

S E PA R AT E L Y E X C I T E D E L E C T R O N I C MOTOR SPEED CONTROLLER MODEL 1244 SepEx® FEATURES • Full bridge control of the motor field allows reversing without the use of direction contactors. • Fully compatible with the Model 1307 Programmer for programming, diagnosticand test information. • Armature current controlled at all times, reducing arcing and brush wear. • Regenerative braking increases usable battery energy and reduces motor heating. • Neutral braking provides automatic braking in neutral - simulates the feel of compression braking. Braking level adjustable. • MultiMode™ allows four user selectable vehicle operating profiles. • Programmable to match individual separately excited motor characteristics. • Meets or exceeds EEC fault detect requirements with circuitry and software to detect faults in the throttle circuit, MOSFET drive circuits, and driver outputs. DESCRIPTION • Vehicle speed is controlled and limited at top end via motor Curtis PMC Model 1244 SepEx® programmable controllers provide smooth and seamless regenerative control of separately excited motors. An advanced MOSFET power section provides very high efficiency, silent operation and reduced motor and battery losses. field control. • Passive regen provides vehicle speed control at any throttle position when going down ramps. • Linear temperature cutback on armature and field drive current limits. No sudden loss of power under any thermal conditions. APPLICATION • Undervoltage cutback reduces motor current to maintain the Curtis PMC SepEx® controllers are designed for small material battery voltage above the under-voltage point. handling and other light industrial vehicles using separately excited • PWM drivers for contactors are programmable for pullin and motors. These include low lifts, stackers, personnel carriers and other holding currents to reduce power dissipation and allow the industrial vehicles. use of common contactors. • HPD and SRO interlock options ensure proper startup sequence. • Emergency reverse (belly button) input causes immediate reversal upon activation. www.curtisinstruments.com
