slopes. The warning buzzer is pulsed to create an audible indication that the
vehicle is rolling.
The brake mapping parameters determine the maximum braking power that
can be applied at a given vehicle speed.
BRAKE MAX should be set higher than
BRAKE MIN , and BRAKE END higher than BRAKE START .
M1/M2/REV BRAKE MIN
The brake minimum parameter sets the max regen current at low speeds, and
is applicable from
BRAKE START speed to zero speed. The value is a percentage of
the full regen current.
BRAKE MIN is used to soften vehicle braking at low speeds. A low value will
limit the braking at low speeds to provide a soft deceleration. A very low value
may prevent the vehicle from coming to a stop from pedal-up braking on an
incline, while a very high value may cause the vehicle to brake abruptly.
M1/M2/REV BRAKE MAX
The brake maximum parameter is used to set the max regen current at high
speeds, and is applicable at speeds at and above the
BRAKE END speed. The value
is a percentage of the full regen current.
BRAKE MAX is used to strengthen vehicle braking at high speeds. A high
value will provide greater braking power at high speeds. A very low value may
prevent the vehicle from successfully limiting speed down a hill, while a very
high value may cause excessive braking force at high speeds.
M1/M2/REV BRAKE START
The brake map start parameter defines the vehicle speed at which the brake
map starts to increase from the
BRAKE MIN value. Increasing the BRAKE START value
increases the speed at which the controller’s braking power reaches the BRAKE
MIN setting, resulting in a larger speed range with soft braking.
M1/M2/REV BRAKE END
The brake map end parameter defines the vehicle speed at which the brake map
reaches the
BRAKE MAX value. This parameter can be set to allow the controller
to use a higher braking power at higher speeds.
Decreasing the BRAKE END value increases the braking torque the vehicle
can produce at medium speeds.
