Description
Product Description
GE IC3645LXCD1 is a high – performance power controller and forklift control card belonging to GE’s LX series, mainly designed for the EV – 100 electric forklift control system and industrial vehicle power management scenarios. It serves as the core control component, which can regulate the power distribution of the forklift’s drive system, hydraulic system and braking system, and realize precise control of the vehicle’s acceleration, deceleration, steering and lifting operations. GE IC3645LXCD1 is equipped with multiple digital input and output channels, which can collect signals from the driver’s operation handle, position sensor and current sensor, and output control signals to the motor driver and electromagnetic valve to ensure the stable and safe operation of the forklift. With a compact modular design, an operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C and IP54 protection rating, GE IC3645LXCD1 can work reliably in harsh industrial environments such as warehouses, logistics parks and manufacturing workshops, supporting key processes such as cargo handling, stacking and short – distance transportation. It also supports RS – 485 communication protocol, which can be connected with the vehicle – mounted HMI for real – time monitoring of the vehicle’s running status and fault diagnosis.
