5 — INITIAL SETUP
the direction input. If the motor is turning in the correct direction but appears
to be “fighting itself” (struggling at full current while jerkily turning at very
low speed), change the setting of the Swap Encoder Direction parameter. If the
motor still does not respond properly you should contact your Curtis customer
support engineer to resolve any issues about encoder direction or emergency
reverse before continuing with the setup procedure.
Do not take the vehicle down off the blocks until the motor is re-
sponding properly.
Once the motor is responding properly, lower the vehicle to put the drive
wheels on the ground.
bl Motor characterization (refer to procedure sent by Curtis)
If you will be conducting the AC Motor Characterization Procedure, do it now.
This procedure will determine the values you should set for the Motor Type,
FW Base Speed, and Field Weakening parameters (see Motor Control menus,
page 62). Note: If you obtained these values and set them before starting the
Initial Setup, skip this step.
bm Emergency reverse (see page 59)
Set up the parameters in the Emergency Reverse Menu. Note: Emergency
Reverse is active only if you are using Speed Mode Express or Speed Mode as
your motor tuning mode.
bn Interlock braking (see page 60)
Set up the parameters in the Interlock Braking Menu.
