CURTIS Programmable Permanent Magnet Drive Motor Controller Model 1229-3101 24-36V / 200A

Overview:

The Curtis Model 1229-3101 is a sealed, heavy-duty permanent magnet motor speed controller intended for demanding traction applications in hostile environments. It utilizes an advanced, powerful dual-microprocessor, logic architecture for maximum functional safety and accurate speed control.

The 1229-3101 controller is fully programmable, via the CURTIS Model 1313-4331 Handheld Programmer or 1314 PC Programming Station. The programmable parameters allow a high level of customization designed to fit the needs of multiple applications. In addition to basic controller setup, the 1229 provides a high level of flexibility through I/O mapping and logic functions.
