Curtis Controller Programming Software Download



New Generic Software Programming Instructions The new generic software package allows for programming of the Curtis Controller. The motor kit when installed will be drivable, but the following instructions allow for tuning. Some adjustments may be required before operating the vehicle the first time and this manual will guide you through that. Re: Curtis Model 1314 PC Software download by ircaptbob » Thu Nov 15, 2012 5:54 pm I understood it to be the software for programming Q-Logic controllers by Curtis for Pride. The Curtis Model 1313 Handheld Programmer is a powerful and intuitive programming and diagnostic tool. The 1313 performs comprehensive programming and troubleshooting tasks for all vehicles that use Curtis programmable motor controllers or control systems.

Curtis1204M-4201 is a controller with '24V Working Voltage' option in the '1204M/1205M Series' of CURTIS, ideal for replacing an old CURTIS 1204 controller (1204-004, 1204-036 or other 1204 controllers). With the original controller model number provided by the buyer, the seller could identify more detailed information like 'voltage', 'current' and 'throttle type'. Then the controller will be programmed to the same setting as the original one of the buyer.Curtis Controller Programming Software Download
As the new member of 1204M / 1205M series winding motor speed controllers, the controller model 1204M-4201 has an extra 'J5' terminal which offers new function 'reverse signal input' or 'main contactor driver' (corresponding controller parameter 'Rev Input / Main Driver').
The parameter 'Rev Input / Main Driver' determines the signal input at the controller’s J5 terminal:

  • 0 = reverse input and main driver both inactive; use this setting if you are replacing an earlier model with no J5 terminal and want to leave the wiring as it was.
  • 1 = reverse input active (see page 7, figure 5 of controller manual).
  • 2 = main driver active (see page 7, figure 4 of controller manual).
For reprogramming the controller 1204M-4201, you may use a CURTIS programmer.
It is quite simple to connect a CURTIS programmer to controller 1204M-4201. If you are going to diagnose or reprogram a 1204M-4201 in your office, you may prepare a 24V DC power source for feeding the power to the controller and to the programmer.
  • Put the MOLEX 4-Pin connector of programmer communicating cable into the mating connector of controller 1204M-4201.
  • Connect the power source positive (B+) to the controller B+ main terminal and J1 terminal.
  • Connect the power source negative (B-) to the controller B- main terminal.
  • switch on the DC power source, then you will see the initiating screen (handheld programmer) or you can start to connect the controller (PC Station programmer).
  • Entering the programmer manual, you may choose to:
    • modify the controller parameters
    • monitoring the controller status
    • diagnosing the controller
    • viewing the error history

Relatively, programming a 1204M-4201 is relative simpler than the programming process of other CURTIS controller models. For each different controller models, CURTIS configures a different terminal setting for programmers. But there are some points are common:
  • A KSI (key switch input) terminal is always available for activating the controller.
  • For activating the logical circuit of a CURTIS controller, a 24V DC power (max. the rated working voltage of controller) positive (B+) should be connected to the KSI terminal.
  • For some controller models, a dedicated logical enable terminal is available, should also be feed by the same B+, like KSI.
  • The DC power negative (B-) should be connected to B- terminal of controller, for constructing a complete working circuit.
For both handset type and PC station type CURTIS programmers, we can now store the controller program, and re-use it in other programmers for saving it into a new controller of same model, or for future diagnose.1204M-4201 is a controller with '24V Working Voltage' option in the '1204M/1205M Series' of CURTIS, ideal for replacing an old CURTIS 1204 controller (1204-004, 1204-036 or other 1204 controllers).
