7 START-UP HINTS
The motor controller is a software configurable device.
In a CAN supervisor system, some or all aspects of the motor controller setup
and operation may be managed by a vehicle master controller communicating
over the CAN bus. For standalone operation (primarily the I/O version),
customized software must be installed in the motor controller.
Built-in diagnostics functions monitor battery voltage, heat sink temperature,
motor temperature, and other conditions. Error and warning information is
available to the master controller, and all event information is stored in an event
log for service access (see chapter 10).
The event log provides additional information as well as procedures for
pinpointing and eliminating causes for warning and error conditions.
7.1 Check prior to initial power up
For traction applications, raise up or otherwise disable drive wheels to
prevent the possibility of unexpected vehicle motion or motion in the wrong
direction during initial commissioning. For hydraulic applications, open the
valve to prevent the possibility of excessive pressure to build-up (in the
event of a malfunction of the pressure-relief valve).
Do not connect the controller to a battery with a nominal voltage different
to the nominal value, indicated on the controller label. A higher battery
voltage may cause failures in the power section. A lower voltage may not
allow the controller to work
Take necessary precautions to do not compromise safety in order to
prevent injury to personnel or damage to equipment
All motor controller settings and functionality have to be verified and
validated by the OEM prior to use in the field by an end user.
The complete range of parameter values that are updated by the truck
controller (or any other device) must also be verified and validated prior to
use in the field by the end user.
During the process when the parameter values are established it is of major
importance to take proper safety precautions when testing since incorrect
parameter values may jeopardize the operation of the truck’s safety critical
functions.
It is the OEMs responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is configured and set
up to conform to applicable safety regulations
After operation, even with the key switch open, the internal capacitors may
remain charged for some time. For safe operation onto the setup, it is
