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.
