Curtis Dynamometer Services

Stage 1: Motor/Controller Matching ◀▶

For PMAC motors and 1222 steering motors, this service is required for operation with Curtis controllers. For ACIM motors, we offer the option of autocharacterization.

The key advantages are:

• Ease of installation with Motor_Type ™ assigned.
• Higher efficiency operation (more torque, lower current).
• Torque estimate (safer operation, enables controller feature not available otherwise).
• Less torque ripple at high speeds.
• Enables controller features otherwise unavailable.
• May be necessary for some regulatory standards compliance.

Stage 1 includes:

• Motor/controller matching to enable optimized operation with any Curtis E or F series controllers..
• A Motor_Type will be created for each motor characterized and entered in the firmware database, permitting simple setup in the field.
• The Motor_Type generates a real-time torque estimate, useful for various controller features and customer monitoring.
• Released software for production, including the Motor_Type, will be created within one month.
