Section 2. FEATURES OF SX FAMILY OF TRANSISTOR 
MOTOR CONTROLLERS 
 
Section 2.1 Performance 
 

Section 2.1.1 Oscillator Card Features 

 

Section 2.1.1.a Standard Operation 
 

The oscillator section of the card has two adjustable 

features, creep speed and minimum field current.   With the 

accelerator at maximum ohms or volts, the creep speed 

can be adjusted by Function 2 of the Handset or a trimpot. 

The field control section allows the adjustment of the field 

weakening level in order to set the top speed of the motor. 

This top speed function (Minimum Field Current) is enabled 

when the armature current is less than the value set by 

Function 24 and the accelerator input voltage is less than 1 

volt. Top Speed can be adjusted by Function 7 of the 

Handset or a trimpot. 

 

The % ON-time has a range of approximately 0 to 100 

percent. The SX controllers operate at a constant 

frequency and the % ON-time is controlled by the pulse 

width of the voltage/current applied to the motor circuits. 

 

 Section 2.1.1.b Control Acceleration 
 

This feature allows for adjustment of the rate of time it 

takes for the control to accelerate to 100% applied battery 

voltage to the motor on hard acceleration.  Armature C/A is 

adjusted by Function 3 from 0.1 to 22 seconds. 

 

Section 2.1.2 Current Limit 

 

This circuit monitors motor current by utilizing sensors in 

series with the armature and field windings. The 

information detected by the sensor is fed back to the card 

so that current may be limited to a preset value. If heavy 

load currents are detected, this circuit overrides the 

oscillator and limits the average current to a value set by 

Function 4 and Function 8 of the Handset. The C/L setting is 

based on the maximum thermal rating of the control. 

Because of the flyback current through 3REC, the motor 

current is usually greater than battery current, except at 

100% ON time.  

 

Section 2.1.3 Plug Braking 
 

Slow down is accomplished when reversing direction by 

providing a small amount of retarding torque for 

deceleration.  If the vehicle is moving, and the directional 

lever is moved from one direction to the other, the plug 

signal is initiated.  Once the plug signal has been initiated, 

the field is reversed, and the armature current is regulated 

to the plug current limit.  Armature current is regulated by 

increasing the field current as the vehicle slows down.  

Once the field current reaches a preset value, set by 

Function 10, and armature plug current can no longer be 

maintained, the braking function is canceled, and the 

control reverts back to motoring. 

All energy produced by the motor during plugging is 

dumped as heat in the motor in this braking mode. 

 

Section 2.1.4 Auxiliary Speed Control 
 

Section 2.1.4.a  Field Weakening  
 

This function allows the adjustment of the field weakening 

level in order to set the top speed of the motor. The function 

is enabled when the armature current is less than the value 

set by Function 24.  It is important to note that this function 

is used to optimize motor and control performance, and this 

setting will be determined by GE and OEM engineers at the 

time of vehicle development. This setting must not be 

changed by field personnel without the permission of the 

OEM. 

 

Section 2.1.4.b Speed Limits 
 

This feature provides a means to limit motor speed by 

controlling the armature voltage.  The speed limit setting 

provides a clamp on the accelerator voltage command, 

limiting the conduction period of the armature FET’s.    

 

There are two speed limit settings, reverse speed limit and 

turf speed limit.  When the reverse direction is selected, pin 

5 is high, and the reverse speed limit will be used and the 

turf switch is not checked by software.  When the forward 

direction is selected, pin 4 is high.  The turf speed limit will 

be enabled if the turf speed switch input, pin 6, is low.   

 

The voltage to the motor armature will vary as a function of 

the speed limit settings and the battery volts.  The motor 

speed will vary as a function of load and battery volts.  

 
Section 2.1.4.c Top Speed Regulation 
 
This feature requires a system tachometer. The standard 

GE system tach is built into the motor and provides four 

pulses per armature revolution. Once the control has been 

calibrated to the vehicle parameters (gear ratio 

and wheel rolling radius), using Function 1, speed can be 

measured with a resolution of +/- 1 mph.  When traveling 

down an incline, if the vehicle speed increases to the over 

speed setting, the control automatically transitions to the 

regen mode.  The maximum incline on which the control 

will be able to maintain regulation is determined by the 

characteristics of the motor, the maximum regen armature 

current limit setting (Function 9), and the maximum regen 

field current limit setting (Function 10). 

 

When the vehicle reaches the bottom of the incline, and the 

vehicle speed decreases below the over speed setting on
