PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS
The 1268 controller’s programmable parameters allow the vehicle’s performance
characteristics to be customized to fit the needs of individual vehicles or vehicle
operators. Programming can be done with a 1313 handheld programmer or a
1314 PC Programming Station. The 1311 handheld programmer and the dis-
continued 1307 handheld programmer are also fully compatible with the 1268
controller. See Appendix B for more information about the programmers.
The 1268 controllers allow operation in two distinct modes, Mode 1
and Mode 2. These modes can be programmed to provide two different sets of
operating characteristics, which can be useful for operating in different condi-
tions—such as slow precise indoor maneuvering in one mode, and faster, long
distance, outdoor travel in the other mode.
Ten parameters can be configured independently in the two modes:
— Main Current Limit (M1, M2)
— Acceleration Rate (M1, M2)
— Deceleration Rate (M1, M2)
— Brake Minimum (M1, M2)
— Brake Maximum (M1, M2)
— Brake Map (M1, M2)
— Brake Start (M1, M2)
— Brake End (M1, M2)
— Forward Speed (M1, M2)
— Forward Field Minimum (M1, M2).
In the following descriptions, the 1268’s parameters are grouped into
categories of related parameters. Many of the parameters are interdependent.
In the descriptions in this section, these interdependencies are only briefly
noted. For a more thorough discussion of how they work together, see
Section 5: Tuning Guide.
