Curtis 1352 eXm Manual,
The Curtis 1352 eXm expansion module provides a simple, flexible, and low-
cost method for adding additional and specialized I/O to a system. The eXm
utilizes the popular CANopen communication bus for all control, status, and
setup. This allows many CANopen-compatible modules—from Curtis or from
third-party vendors—to be interconnected and share I/O throughout a system.
Several eXm modules can be connected to a single CAN bus to provide a wide
range of I/O. Because of its small size and tight seal, the eXm module can be
mounted remotely near the system to be controlled, thus minimizing wiring
and improving EMC.
The eXm is part of a distributed I/O system with a master controller
coordinating the CAN communications. Curtis VCL-enabled controllers such
as the 1232/34/36/39 E/SE, 1298, and 1310 can provide this master control
using custom software developed with Curtis VCL (Vehicle Control Language).
Any CANopen master can be programmed to control the eXm.
The Curtis 1352 eXm expansion module is ideal for material handling,
floor cleaning, aerial platforms, and other electric vehicles as well as stationary
control systems utilizing the CANopen bus. Features include:
3 9 multi-purpose I/O pins in a compact low cost module
3 6 high-frequency PWM outputs rated at 3 amps each
3 Closed loop current, constant voltage, or direct PWM control on each
output
3 Each output can also be used as an active high digital input
3 Built-in programmable dither for hydraulic valves
