12.4.5 Zapi menu “HARDWARE SETTINGS” functions list 

To enter this Zapi hidden menu a special procedure is required. Ask this procedure 
directly to a Zapi technician.  
 

1) MAXIMUM 

CURRENT

 

MAXIMUM CURENT sets the limit for the current in the controller. 

 

2) CAN 

BUS 

ABSENT or PRESENT. This setting specifies whether the eps-ac0 is CAN Bus 
connected or not. When CAN BUS is ABSENT, the CAN BUS KO alarm is 
inhibited together with any starting sequence used to synchronize via CAN Bus 
the eps-ac0 with the other controllers.   

 

3)  SET HI RESOL AD 

When it is set to Level 1, enables an analog to digital conversion with high 
resolution applied to the command pot CPOC1. Level 0 means the high 
resolution AD conversion is inhibited. Level 2 is not used.
