I guess I should first ask for a definition of "setpoint" as to me that means a fixed value, if you will. So my first question would be if we have a DC amps "setpoint" and a DC volts "setpoint" which one wins?
Or is the idcspnt actually a bit of a misnomer and it's more of an idclim (yes I know there is another idclim already) so perhaps an idcmax would be a better name for it, if for no other reason to avoid some confusion
here they are as defined by our Wiki:
- idcspnt
DC charge current limit. An additional limit to charge power. It is also mapped to the CAN bus so if you have a BMS that calculates a maximum charge current you can forward this to the charger.
- udcspnt
This modifies the constant voltage setpoint of the chargers. This value is transmitted directly to the modules without further processing. It lets you add a constant voltage phase to your charge process. When reaching this voltage the chargers will control the current to maintain this voltage.
And what's the point of setting a DC voltage setpoint anyway, wouldn't we want to get to our full charge as quickly as we can? Again just asking as a newb to the game.
