recommended to disconnect the battery and to discharge the capacitors by
means of a resistor of about 10 Ω – 100 Ω between terminals +B and -B of
the inverter.
Perform the following checks before applying power to the motor controller for the
first time:
1. Verify that the proper motor controller for the application has been installed.
2. Verify that the battery voltage matches the motor controller nominal DC
supply voltage showed on the product identification label.
3. Verify that the correct software for the application has been loaded.
4. Verify that all power and signal wires are correctly connected.
5. Verify that battery and motor terminals are tightened with appropriate torque.
6. Verify that the I/O plug (Ampseal connector) is fully mated and latched in
position on the motor controller.
7. Verify that the motor controller is correctly fused for the application. Refer to
the vehicle maintenance documentation for the correct fuse size.
7.2 Configuring motor controller for the application
Normally, motor controllers shipped for OEM series production are programmed
by production lines with the correct parameters and do not require any further
configuration.
Please refer to the OEM documentation for any further setup required during
vehicle commissioning.
Setting up a prototype controller for a new vehicle, within a vehicle development
program, may require extensive parameterization and possibly re-programming
of the motor controller via the CAN bus.
7.2.1 Main parameters set-up
When the key switch is closed, if no alarms or errors are present, the Console
display shows the standard Zapi opening line.
For the setting of your truck, use the procedure below.
If you need to reply the same settings on different controllers, use the SAVE and
RESTORE sequence. Remember to re-cycle the key switch if you want to make
active any change to the configuration.
- In ADJUSTMENTS, set BATTERY VOLTAGE according to the nominal
battery voltage (see paragraph 8.2.5).
- Check the wiring and that all commands are functioning. Use the
TESTER function to have a real-time feedback about their state.
- Perform the accelerator acquisition using the PROGRAM VACC
procedure (see paragraph 9.1).
- Set the maximum current for traction and braking in MAX. CURRENT
TRA and MAX. CURRENT BRK (see paragraph 8.2.1).
- Set the motor-related parameters. It is suggested to discuss them with
Zapi technicians.
- Set the parameter SET MOT.TEMPERAT according to the type of motor
thermal sensor adopted.
- Set the acceleration delay (parameters ACCEL MODULATION and
ACCEL DELAY). Test the behavior in both directions.
