PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS
The 1297 controller has nearly one hundred parameters that can be adjusted by
means of a 13XX programmer. These programmable parameters allow various
performance characteristics to be customized to fit the needs of individual
applications or system operators.
Each controller is either a generic model or an OEM-specific model.
Generic controllers are shipped with the default parameter settings shown in
Table D-1, and have model numbers ending “01” (e.g., 1297-2401). OEM-
specified models are shipped with the default parameter settings designated by
the OEM, and have model numbers that identify this particular configuration
(e.g., 1297-2417).
In addition to specifying parameter values, the OEM can designate
whether a parameter will have User or OEM-only access rights. Accordingly,
two versions of the various 13XX programmers are available: the 13XX-
1
101 is
the User programmer (which can adjust only those parameters with User access
rights) and the 13XX-
2
101 is the OEM programmer (which can adjust all the
parameters with User or OEM access rights).
The 1297’s programmable parameters are divided into three groups:
A
Traction Parameters
B
Hydraulic Parameters
C
Shared Parameters
which in turn are divided into subgroups by topic:
A
Traction Parameters
— Acceleration
— Braking
— Speed
— Throttle
— Field
— Emergency reverse
— Other traction parameters
B
Hydraulic Parameters
— Pump
— Valve control
— Hydraulic throttle
C
Shared Parameters
— Contactor and sequencing delay
— Multiplexer
(MUX)
— Hourmeters
— BDI.
The individual parameters are listed on the next page.
