The settings (i.e. parameters) are labeled with the following format:
Mxx-yyz AAAAAAAAAAAA, “BBBBBBBBB”
Where:
•xx is the menu’s number;
•yy is the parameter’s position in the menu;
•z is a letter that can be either “T” or “P” and stands, respectively for Traction or Pump software;
•AAAAAAAAAAA is the parameter short description;
•BBBBBBBBBBBB is the text which appears on the DMC Calibrator’s menu;
For example
M1.2T Deceleration delay “Decel”
•1 is the calibrator menu number (in this case Menu 1 Adjustment Setup);
•2 is the setting number inside the menu 1;
•T indicates that this parameter is present in Traction software;
•“Deceleration delay” is a short description of the parameter;
•“Decel” is the text label appearing on the calibrator display;
1.3 How to correctly and time-efficiently setup a controller
This paragraph aims at briefly explaining the best procedure for a correct and time-efficient setup of a DMC Supersigma2
Controller.
The SuperSigma2 has 9 parameter menus which can be set up, but several settings are displayed based upon the choice
of other settings in different menus. For a clear Controller tuning the following procedure should be adopted:
1) Enter the “Menu 3 “Controller Setup”” and set up the basic controller settings. (Mind that the setting of several
parameters such as “M3-16T Active low or high digital inputs ”ActvL/H”” should be coherent with the hardware
wiring performed).
2) In case a Sigmagauge or a DMC Display is used, or the chopping on outputs 1, 2 or 3 is used, enter the “Menu 8
“BDI” Battery Discharge Indicator” menu and setup the parameters for BDI calculation.
3) Enter the “Menu 4 “PMS Motor Auto Tuning”” and set up the motor’s basic set of parameters necessary to
perform autotuning. Mind that the parameters “M4-9 Maximum RMS motor current” and “M4-13Maximum
Motor Frequency” are very important, as they define the maximum current that will flow into the motor (and
thus the maximum deliverable torque) and the maximum rotor speed, on which all the speed limits and ramps
will be based.
4) Enter the “Menu 7 “Limits Setup”” and set up the desired limitations.
5) Perform the autotuning.
6) In case the controller should operate in a CAN network, enter the “Menu 9 “CAN Bus Setup”” menu and setup
all the CAN communication parameters.
7) Enter the “Menu 1 “Adjustment”” menu and setup all the necessary adjustments. It is very important to modify
the settings in this menu only when the above steps have been completed, as several adjustments are available
only when some combination of parameters in other menus are performed.
8) If necessary, modify the parameters in “Menu 5 “PMS Motor Setup””.

2Control Connections
In this section the functions and features associated to each pin of the Ampseal 35 way connector, used for the controller
light wiring will be described in details. The connector ampseal holds the function for interfacing the vehicle, the can
communication and the motor feedback signals. The signals, associated to the pins of the connector, are digital inputs,
analog inputs, communication inputs and digital outputs.
The features associated to the connector signals are different, according to the application software (traction or pump
control). For each pin the specific function, related to the application software, will be described.
Pins 1-7 are digital inputs. The inputs become active when switched to the ground, if the option active low is selected, or
when connected to the battery plus, if the option active high is selected. (See M3-16T Active low or high digital inputs
”ActvL/H”).
Pin 1 Forward i/p -- Pump Potentiometer Switch 1
Traction: Forward i/p
Activating this input in conjunction with the Accelerator Analog Input and the foot switch (if “ride on”vehicle is
selected - see “Pin 3 Footswitch / Belly Button -- Pump Switch 3 and “M3-8T Vehicle type select ”Ride/Wlk”) a drive
forward signal is demanded to the controller.
WARNING!
If both Pin 1 (FW) and Pin 2 (RV) are active at the same time, the controller will detect and signal
the fault with 1 second delay. Please notice that if the vehicle is in neutral and the accelerator is
pressed, if both switched are active at the same time the vehicle will move for 1 second.
Pump: Potentiometer Switch 1
A pump potentiometer can be used to lift the forks on a forklift truck. If the pump potentiometer has a switch, the
switch has to be connected to this input. The programmable parameter “M3-5P Enable pot with switch “NoSw/Sw
has to be set to 1. Under these conditions, the pump motor will drive if the input is active and the potentiometer
is activated.
Pin 2 Reverse i/p -- Pump Switch 2
Traction: Reverse i/p
Activating this input in conjunction with the Accelerator (if “ride on” vehicle is selected -see “Pin 3 Footswitch /
Belly Button -- Pump Switch 3” and “M3-8T Vehicle type select ”Ride/Wlk”) a drive reverse operation is activated.
WARNING!
If both Pin 1 (FW) and Pin 2 (RV) are active at the same time, the controller will detect and signal
the fault with 1 second delay. Please notice that if the vehicle is in neutral and the accelerator is
pressed, if both switched are active at the same time the vehicle will move for 1 second.
Pump: Pump Switch 2
Pump Switch 2 is typically related to the forks tilting on a forklift truck.
When activated the pump speed is set to the programmable parameter “M1-6P Speed 2 demand ”Pspeed2””.
Pin 3 Footswitch / Belly Button -- Pump Switch 3
Traction: Footswitch / Belly Button
The function of this input can be selected according to the programmable parameter “M3-8TVehicle type select
”Ride/Wlk”. If set to Ride (0), then the vehicle’s Footswitch should be connected to this pin, and must be activated
to allow drive. If set to Walkie (1), then the vehicle’s Belly Button switch should be connected to this pin. When
the Belly Button switch is closed and the vehicle is running reverse, the vehicle will drive forward in the opposite
direction for 1.5s.
Pump: Pump Switch 3
It is typically used for the lateral shifting of the forks on a forklift truck. When this input is activated the pump
speed is set to the value of the programmable parameter “M1-7P Speed 3 demand ”Pspeed3”

SuperSigma2 AM PMS –V1.5.6 17-1-2020 Page 11 (97) ©2019 DMC GmbH Herten Germany
Pin 4 Seat / Tiller -- Pump Switch 4
Traction: Seat / Tiller
The function of this input is related to a safety interlock. This could be a Seat switch on a “ride-on vehicle”, a Tiller
switch on a “walkie” vehicle or a general deadman’s trigger on other vehicle types. The switch must be closed to
allow drive. If it is opened while driving the vehicle will stop.
Pump: Pump Switch 4
It is typically used to operate an auxiliary pump function. When closed, this input will activate the pump speed set
by the programmable parameter “M1-8P Speed 4 demand ”Pspeed4”.
Pin 5 Speed Limit 1 / Inch Forward -- Pump Switch 5
Traction Speed Limit 1 / Inch Forward
The function of this input is defined by the programmable parameter “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”. If set to
“Spd” (0), then this input is used to limit the speed of the vehicle to a value set by the programmable parameter
M1-22T Cutback speed 1 (I/O 5-6 set to Speed) “Speed1”. The speed limit will occur if the switch is open.
If parameter “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”is set to “Inch” (1), then this input is used for “inching” the vehicle
in the forward direction. Inching will occur when the switch is closed. The exact functionality of inching is set by
the programmable parameters M1-23T Inching speed (I/O 5-6 set to Inching) “InchSpd”, M1-34T Inching time (I/O
5-6 set to Inching) “InchTime”.
if “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”is set to 2 (Advanced mode) Drive if the input is open the drive style 1 will
be adopted and the set of parameter of drive style one will be adopted (refer to controller setup “M3-5TI/O Pin 5
and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”description).
If “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”is set to 3 (Speed Limit and FootBrakeSwitch) then this input is used to limit
the speed of the vehicle to a value set by the programmable parameter M1-22T Cutback speed 1 (I/O 5-6 set to
Speed) “Speed1”. The speed limit will occur if the switch is open.
Pump: Pump Switch 5
Pump Switch 5 is for activating a generic auxiliary pump function. When the input is activated the pump will spin
at a speed set by the programmable parameter “M1-9P Speed 5 demand ”Pspeed5”.
Pin 6 Speed Limit 2 / Inch Reverse -- Pump Switch 6 (Power Steer Input)
Traction Speed Limit 2 / Inch Reverse
The function of this input is defined by the programmable parameter “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”:
If set to “Spd” (0), then this input can be used to limit the speed of the vehicle to a value set by the programmable
parameter “M1-33T Cutback speed 2 (I/O 5-6 set to Speed) “Speed2””. The speed limit is active when the switch
is open.
If set to “Inch”(1), then this input is used for “inching” the vehicle in the reverse direction. Inching will occur when
the switch is closed. The functionality of inching is defined by the programmable parameters ”M1-23T Inching
speed (I/O 5-6 set to Inching) “InchSpd”” and “M1-34T Inching time (I/O 5-6 set to Inching) “InchTime””.
If “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”is set to 2 (Advanced mode) and if the switch input is open (and switch
connected to input pin 5 closed) the set of parameters of drive style 2 will be adopted (refer to controller setup
“M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”description).
If “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”is set to 3 (Speed Limit and FootBrakeSwitch) and if the switch input is closed
(and switch connected to input pin 5 closed) a footbrake operation is demanded with 100% of the Foot Brake
torque or foot brake ramp time (refer to controller setup “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”and adjustment “M1-
13T Foot brake torque “FBrake””, ”M1-14T Foot brake ramp time “FbrkRamp”” description).
Pump Pump Switch 6
This input should be connected to the pump’s power steer trigger switch. Once activated, power steering will be
available to the operator thanks to the fact that the pump is operating.
The polarity of the switch can be chosen by means of the parameter “M3-2P Speed 6 input normally closed or
normally open “Sp6NO/NC“.
If set to 0, the input is active when switch is closed.
If set to 1, the input is active when switch is open.
Many signals can be used to trigger this input: a hydraulic pressure switch used for steering, the seat switch,
direction or foot switches can be used to provide the power steer trigger.
When pin 6 is activated, the pump will operate at a speed value settable with the parameter “M1-10P Speed 6
demand (power steer) ”Pspeed6””.

SuperSigma2 AM PMS –V1.5.6 17-1-2020 Page 12 (97) ©2019 DMC GmbH Herten Germany
Pin 7 Speed Limit 3 / Handbrake -- Pump Inhibit
Traction Speed Limit 3 / Handbrake
This input is primarily intended to be used with a handbrake switch, however, its function can be set by the
programmable parameter “M3-6T I/O Pin 7 ”Spd3/Hbk””.
If set to Spd3 (0), then this input can be used to limit the speed of the vehicle to a value set by the programmable
parameter. The speed limit will occur when the switch is open. The speed will be limited to the setting “M1-44T
Cutback speed 3 (I/O 7 set to speed3) “Speed3”” .
If set to Hbk (1), then this input should be connected to the vehicle’s handbrake switch. When the switch is closed,
i.e. the handbrake is on, the vehicle’s speed will be set by the parameters “M1-45T Handbrake On maximum Speed
(I/O 7 set to Handbrake) “HandBrk”” and “M1-46T Maximum Drive Torque speed 3 (I/O 7 set to Handbrake)
“MxDrTrq3””.
Pump: Pump Inhibit
This input can be used to inhibit pump operation. So when input 7 is active the pump is stopped.
The polarity of the switch can be set by means of parameter “M3-3P Inhibit input normally closed or normally open
“HibNO/NC”.
If set to 0, the input is active when switch is closed.
If set to 1, the input is active when switch is open.
Pin 8 Analogue supply 5V
A supply for 5kΩ Potentiometers is available to this pin with max 10mA capability for sourcing current.
Pin 9 Analogue AD1 i/p Accelerator -- Potentiometer
Traction
This is an analogue input that will accept a 3-wire 5kΩ potentiometer or a 0V to 5V voltage signal (electronic
accelerator).
The active range of the accelerator input is defined by the programmable parameters, “M1-52T Accelerator pot
minimum “AccMin”” and “M1-53T Accelerator pot maximum “AccMax””.
Two kinds of accelerator can be selected by means of parameter “M3-12T Accelerator type ”AccelTyp””.
If AccelTyp is selected to (0) normal, the first parameter “AccMin” sets the voltage that relates to zero drive
demand, the second, “AccMax” sets the voltage that corresponds to 100% drive demand.
If AccelTyp is selected to (1) WigWag, “AccMin” sets 100% reverse drive demand from the Throttle, “AccMax” to
100% forward drive demand from the Throttle.
If the operation of the wig-wag pot is reversed, swap the two supply leads of the potentiometer. Transposing the
parameter values will result in a fault. The voltage admittable range is from 0.2V to 4.5V. Outside this range, a
failure is signaled (F28 S004).
Pump
This is an analogue input that will accept a 3-wire 5kΩ potentiometer or a 0V to 5V voltage signal (electronic
potentiometer).
This input has to be connected to the pump’s potentiometer.
The active range of the input is defined by the programmable parameters “M1-14P Accelerator pot minimum
”AccMin”” (0% Pump Speed) and “M1-15P Accelerator pot maximum ”AccMax”” and it corresponds to the speed
set in the parameter “M1-5P Maximum pot speed 1 ”Potmax1””. The potentiometer is working in conjunction with
input 1 “Pin 1 Forward i/p -- Pump Potentiometer Switch 1” if it is enabled.
Pin 10 Analogue supply 0V
This input is the analog input ground for potentiometers.

SuperSigma2 AM PMS –V1.5.6 17-1-2020 Page 13 (97) ©2019 DMC GmbH Herten Germany
Pin 11 Analogue AD2 -- Footbrake pot
This pin is used only in traction application.
This is an analogue input that will accept a 3-wire 5kΩ potentiometer or a 0V to 5V voltage signal.
The active range of the footbrake input is defined by the programmable parameters “M1-54T Brake pot minimum
“BrkMin”” (0%) and “M1-55T Brake pot maximum “BrkMax”” (100%).
If a Footbrake switch is used on the brake pedal instead of an analogue device, the switch should connect this input
to the voltage corresponding to the value of parameter, “M1-55T Brake pot maximum “BrkMax”“ (100%) in order
to effect full braking.
•The brake pedal input overrides the accelerator pedal input.
•This analog input is deactivated if “M3-5T I/O Pin 5 and 6 ”Sp/In/Ad”” is selected to 3 (Speed
Limit and Footbrake Switch). To activate a footbrake operation a foot brake switch must be
connected to the “Pin 6 Speed Limit 2 / Inch Reverse -- Pump Switch 6 (Power Steer Input)”.
•If vehicle is rolling downhill (forward or backward), or in general motor spinning, controller
not pulsing and footbrake demanded, controller will start pulsing and braking according to
control Mode selection (see ”M3-2T Control Mode “Spd/Torq””). Controller keeps braking
the motor until footbrake pressed and speed different from zero. The end of braking type
and possible hill holding depends on setting (see ”M3-2T Control Mode “Spd/Torq”” and
“M3-4T Hill hold ”Off/HH/S””
Pin 12 Analogue AD3 -- Steer pot
This pin is used only in traction applications.
The function is activated by means of parameter “M3-14T Single or Dual Motor ”Si/DL/DR”” in the Controller Set-
up menu.
It is activated both if set to 1 (Dual Motor Left) or 2 (Dual Motor Right) or 3 (Single Motor with steer pot. Speed
limit Right). The input can be connected to a 3-wire 5kΩ potentiometer that measures the steering angle of the
vehicle.
The active range of the input, when used by a steering potentiometer, is defined by the following parameters:
•“M1-56T Steer pot minimum ”StrMin”” defines the voltage corresponding to the minimum steering angle (full
left hand lock)
•“M1-57T Steer pot middle point ”StrMid”” corresponds to a 0° steering angle, i.e. the vehicle no steering
•“M1-58T Steer pot maximum ”StrMax””. defines the voltage corresponding to the minimum steering angle
(full right hand lock)
Pin 13 Key i/p
This input has to be connected to the switched side of the key switch. The other side of the key switch has to be
connected to the battery positive supply.
A 10 A fuse has to be connected between the battery positive supply and the key switch. The position of the fuse
should be as close as possible to the tap-off point for the key switch supply.
Pin 14 Contactor supply o/p

2.2 Selecting active Low or High digital inputs
The DMC Sigma2 controllers have the ability to set all digital inputs at runtime as active low or as active high. This setting
is made in the controller setup menu.
It is not possible to mix active low and active high inputs.
2.2.1 Active Low digital inputs
For using Active Low digital input The DMC Sigma2 controller must be setup for active low digital inputs by setting the
parameter “M3-16T Active low or high digital inputs ”ActvL/H”” to 0.
2.2.1.1 Using a mechanical switch
An active low digital input can be activated using a simple mechanical switch. The switch is wired between the B- or GND
terminal and one of the digital inputs. To signal that the switch is activated, a lamp can be connected between the digital
input and the B+ or Vbatt terminal.
(lamp is optional)
2.2.1.2 Using an electronic switch
An active low digital input can be activated using an electronic switch. The electronic switch is powered with a supply
voltage greater than 3V3. The digital output of this electronic switch is high when not activated, which results in an output
voltage greater than 1,5V. When the electronic switch is activated the digital output becomes low, which results in an
output voltage equal or lower than 0.3V.
2.2.1.3 Using a double-throw switch and some diodes
In some cases one input depends on another input. Like the FS1 (Din 0) and the forward (Din 1) or reverse (Din 2) inputs.
With some controllers it is possible to activate the common input (Din 0) using a diode from the other inputs. With the
DMC Sigma2 controller this is not possible.
Use a double double-throw switch instead, as displayed in the schematic below. Both inputs are activated correctly.
