Curtiss-Wright Launches En Iso 13849 Compliant Motor Controller

Curtiss Wright Industrial Group News and PR from Curtiss Wright Industrial Group - Published 13 October 2015 New C3-CE is ideal for small industrial and Class 3 vehicle applications
Christchurch, U.K. – Wednesday 23 September, 2015 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation today announced its Industrial division has introduced a new version of the C3 motor controller to its established and cost-effective range of AC motor controllers. The C3-CE is EN ISO 13849 compliant and, as a new addition to the high-performing, compact and cost-effective C3 motor controller range, provides OEMs with a controller that is ideal for small industrial vehicle applications, including Class 3 pallet trucks.

The new C3-CE, from Curtiss-Wright’s brand family of PG Drives Technology, retains all the features and benefits of the original C3 motor controller but has been CE marked as a safety component and designed with EN ISO 13849 Category 3 hardware architecture – including dual microprocessors, dual inputs and a dedicated B+Safe output. This provides a safer and more convenient approach that, unlike the conventional and widely-used Category 2 architecture, doesn’t require the safety function to be checked at ‘machine start-up’ and ‘prior to the initiation of any hazardous situation’, which can be inconvenient and potentially dangerous.

Key features of the C3-CE include:

Compatible with all types of AC induction motors
Flexible yet simple programming facilitates up to six dual paths for functions including ‘prevention of travel’ and ‘tiller control’
Two traction power options available, the C3-CE-200 (200Arms) and C3-CE-250 (250Arms), to provide OEMs with an economic and efficient solution for their light industrial vehicle applications
Complies with all relevant international materials handling vehicle standards, including EN 1175-1, EN 12895 and UL 583
