| 3 | Operation Guide ProCom1 is menu structure, the interface is simple and easy operation. 3.1 Main Menu The Manu menu includes 4 menus: l 1. PARA SET: Parameter Setting Menu is for setting all parameters of the controller. Please Refer to 3.2； l 2. PARA LOAD: Parameter Loading Menu is for loading parameters of the controller first, after that each parameter can be changed separately. l 3. STATU CHECK: Status Monitoring Menu is for monitoring the model of controller, accessories setting and working status as well as troubleshooting l 4. PERI SET: Peripheral Setting Menu is for setting the outside sensor of controller. 3.2 Parameter Setting Including two expert modes: Mountain Mode and Plain Mode. Memory Mode is previous loaded parameters of controller for parameters copy. Self Definition Mode customs the parameters in the memory mode and configures the whole parameters of the controller. After the demanded mode is selected, press Enter key for setting. After settings finished, it will display “PARA SET SUC”，press Esc key and back to the parameter setting interface. 3.3 Parameter Loading ProCom1 downloads the parameters from the controller first, and then sets 13 parameters separately. 13 parameters displays in 7 screens, Press Right, Left key to select parameters, press enter for setting. The selected parameter displays contrarily. Parameter name displays normally. Press Right, Left key to change data. The data is not configured to controller before press the enter key, parameter name displays contrarily, data displays normal. Press Escape key for canceling setting or back to main menu. Note: Loading the parameters first after the Portable ProCom1 is connected to controller. Then enter into the status monitor interface. Press Escape Key to return main menu 3.1 3.4 Status Monitoring Enter from main menu to status monitoring menu, it will display the controller model, accelerator model and outside sensor of controller setting. Press Right key to enter into the staus monitoring, it will monitor the controllers’ Armature Current(DRV CUR),Field Current (FLD CUR),Battery current(BATT CUR), Pedal Input( PEDAL), Battery current verse Armature current(DUTY), Battery Voltage(BATT VOL) , Controller Temperature(CONTR TEMP) and the Direction of the car. It also monitors and diagnoses the faults of controller, as shows in Appendix. Press Escape Key to back to Main Menu. 3.5 Peripheral Setting In this menu, some special function of the controller can be setting on or off. 1) PEDAL TYPE: The accelerator is voltage type or resistor type. 2) CHARGE SENSOR: Is the controller connected with charge sensor or not, if connected with charge sensor, during charging the controller is not outputting. 3) BATT PROTECT: if this function is enabled, when the voltage of the batteries is lower than the threshold value(which is described in 4.13), the controller will decrease power or turn off according to different status. 4) SPD RESTRAIN: speed restrain function is enabled or disabled. 5) SPD SENSOR: Is there speed sensor on the motor? 6) MOTOR TEMP SN: Is there motor temperature sensor on motor? Note:If these settings are setting ON, but in fact the sensors is not connected, the controller will not work. |
| 4 | Parameters illustration To avoid hard understanding of the complicated parameters modification, this portable programmer is designed as simple as possible, at the same time it still has the flexible modification function. 4.1 Maximum Drive Current This parameter sets the maximum drive current of controller，Max data is not over the controller’s Max current. Parameter limits the maximum armature current. The higher setting of the data, more power output from the motor, but the settings must be caution the motor overload current, if the overload current is over the motor’s range and time, it may cause the motor is in high temperature and damaged. 4.2 Maximum Brake Current This parameter sets the maximum armature current during braking. The higher setting of this data, the higher armature current, the braking feeling will be harder (quicker action). But continuous braking will cause the motor high temperature, and the regenerating energy to batteries will be lower. On the contrary, the lower setting of this data, the lower armature current,, the braking feeling will be softer(slow action). but the regenerating energy to batteries will be higher. Please also refer to 4.7 Brake rate and 4.8 Decelerate rate for configuring. 4.3 Field Map The settings for FIELD MAP is the advantages of the Separate Excited DC Motor. In the lower loaded weight condition of the vehicle, setting weaken field current，to get higher motor speed, in the higher loaded weight condition of the vehicle, setting enhanced field current，to get more torque from the motor. Field current maintains the minimum field current, when the armature current is little than . However, when the armature current is more than , the field current will increase linearly with the increasing of armature current, which is little thanin the whole process。Setting MAP in lower data, enable motor armature current lower in higher vehicle loaded weight condition, reduce the possibility of the motor carbon brush Annular Fire, extend the motor life, but in this condition, the motor speed is lower and less power. The vehicle speed will be slow down if putting a little bit more load weight on or climbing. On the contrary, increasing MAP data, the motor will be more powerful, during heavier loading or climbing, and the speed will remain. But in this condition, because armature current is high, it increases the possibility of motor carbon brush Annular Fire, and influences the motor life. 4.4 Maximum Field Current During Braking In normal condition, the field current during braking equals the initial field current. In some condition, to increase the filed current during braking will get quicker brake reaction. Please note increasing field current during braking results different braking reaction (feeling). While decreasing the field current during braking, please note whether your setting is lower than initial field current. In this programmer, the filed current during braking must not be lower than the minimum field current. 4.5 Minimum Field Current Initial field current sets the minimum field current of controller. This data determines the maximum speed of motor. The lower the data, the higher the speed, in higher speed with higher loaded weight condition, because the armature current is high, the motor life will be influenced. 4.6 Maximum Field Current Maximum field current sets the max. output field current of controller, The higher the data, the higher the motor torque. But this data is limited by the actual max. output field current of motor. If this data is set higher than the actual max. output field current of motor, it will not influence the motor and controller, but the driving feeling will be influenced. Without manufacturer’s authority, this data must not be set over 28A. 4.7 Brake Rate This data is the switching speed during running to braking, the lower the data, the faster the braking reaction. 4.8 Decelerate Rate This data is the speed during the start of braking to the field current reaching Maximum field current during braking. The lower the data, the faster the braking reaction. 4.9 Forward Accelerate Rate This data is the forward accelerate rate, the lower the data, the faster forward acceleration speed. 4.10 Reverse Accelerate Rate This data is the reverse accelerate rate, the lower the data, the faster reverse acceleration speed. 4.11 Accelerate Following Pedal This date is the accelerate following pedal reaction speed. 4.12 Speed Restrain while Slip While slipping, if the vehicle is accelerated over the set (limited) data, the motor speed will be restrained while slip (when this setting is on), to ensure the driving safety. 4.13 BATT PROTECT This data sets the low threshold value of the batteries. When the voltage of the batteries is lower than this value for some time, the controller will decrease the maximum power firstly, and if the voltage is lower continuously, the controller will turn off. Note: the battery protection function can be enabled and disabled in the peripheral setting, the default setting is disabled. 4.14 NULL DIR FLD This parameter is set to adjust the field current while the car is slipping on ramp and the pedal output is zero. Increase this parameter will slowdown the car while it is on ramp and pedal is loosen. |
