Zapi COMBI AC1 User Manual

4.2.2 Wirings: power cables
- The power cables length must be as short as possible to minimize power
losses.
- They must be tightened on controller power posts with a Torque of 13-15 Nm
- The COMBI AC-1 module should only be connected to a traction battery. Do
not use converters outputs or power supplies. For special applications please
contact the nearest Zapi Service Centre.
U Do not connect the controller to a battery with a nominal voltage different
than the value indicated on the controller label. A higher battery voltage
may cause MOS failure. A lower voltage may prevent the logic operating.
4.2.3 Wirings: CAN connections and possible interferences
4 CAN Stands for Controller Area Network. It is a communication protocol for real
time control applications. CAN operates at data rate of up to 1 Megabits per
second.
It was invented by the German company Bosch to be used in the car industry to
permit communication among the various electronic modules of a vehicle,
connected as illustrated in this image:
- The best cable for can connections is the twisted pair; if it is necessary to
increase the immunity of the system to disturbances, a good choice would
be to use a cable with a shield connected to the frame of the truck.
Sometimes it is sufficient a simple double wire cable or a duplex cable not
shielded.
- In a system like an industrial truck, where power cables carry hundreds of
Ampere, there are voltage drops due to the impedance of the cables, and
that could cause errors on the data transmitted through the can wires. In the
following figures there is an overview of wrong and right layouts of the cables
routing.
