BFT Giotto Ultra 36 Control Board

BFT Giotto Ultra 36 Control Board — Barrier Control Panel Spare Part

BFT Giotto Ultra 36 control board is the original electronic control panel manufactured for BFT's Giotto Ultra 36 XL barrier system, designed for high-traffic applications. The board operates on a 230V AC mains supply and delivers a 24V DC motor output, enabling precise control of the barrier motor. Featuring an integrated D-Track intelligent torque control system, the board continuously monitors resistance during arm movement and stops the motor instantly upon obstruction, preventing injury and mechanical damage. Separate safety inputs are provided for photocells, loop detectors, safety edges, and stop buttons, along with independent accessory outputs for flashers, traffic lights, and electromechanical locks. With a protection rating of IP54, the board operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. Functions such as slow start/slow stop, automatic closing, and step-by-step passage control can be easily configured via the LCD display. Control board failures typically manifest as unexpected stop errors, arm immobility, or lack of response on accessory outputs, in which case complete board replacement is standard service practice.

Replacing this control board is rated at a MEDIUM difficulty level. Since all cable connections on the board are terminal-based and labeled, removal and installation can be carried out systematically; however, after mounting, parameters such as automatic closing time, slowdown distance, and torque sensitivity must be matched to their previous values via the LCD menu. Noting or photographing the existing parameter values before replacement significantly simplifies the process. It is recommended to keep the original wiring diagram on hand during the procedure, as incorrectly connecting cable leads to the wrong terminals may prevent safety circuits from activating.
