OVERVIEW
The Curtis 1310 vehicle system controller provides unprecedented flexibility
and ease-of-use. It contains a powerful microcontroller, FLASH memory, and a
wide range of inputs and outputs—which means it can be custom-programmed
to provide complex and unique functions for your specific application.
Custom software for the 1310 is written with VCL (Vehicle Control
Language), an innovative programming language developed by Curtis.
The 1310 controller integrates and expands systems through its industry
standard CAN bus communication port. The 1310 works seamlessly in
conjunction with the Curtis CAN-based SepEx and AC motor controllers,
such as the 1243, 1244, 1234/36/38, and 1298, as well as with the 1352 eXm
expansion module.
The 1310 controller can be applied to electric vehicles, non-electric
vehicles, and stationary control systems.
