EN ISO 13849 compliant

06 February 2017

The C3-CE from Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division is a new addition to the high-performing, compact and cost-effective C3 motor controller range. It is EN ISO 13849 compliant, compatible with all types of AC induction motors and provides OEMs with a controller suitable for small industrial vehicle applications, including Class 3 pallet trucks.

The new C3-CE retains all the features and benefits of the original C3 motor controller but has been CE marked as a safety component and designed with EN ISO 13849 Category 3 hardware architecture – including dual microprocessors, dual inputs and a dedicated B+Safe output.

This provides a safer and more convenient approach that, unlike the conventional and widely-used Category 2 architecture, doesn’t require the safety function to be checked at ‘machine start-up’ and ‘prior to the initiation of any hazardous situation’, which can be inconvenient and potentially dangerous.
