Regen issue
Hello Forum. Looking for some advice here please. I have set up basic trial regen parameters (I am using a Combi V8 board driven inverter) and try a basic regen with motor off load I can see the braking effect and reverse current but then I have to power down and restart the inverter to be able to run again, any clues please ?
Parameters..
Brake pedal pressed
Regen pot set at 0v or 5v makes no difference (need to sort pot use later)
pot2min 4095
pot2max 4095
SingleRegen set
brknompedal -30
brkpedalramp 5
brknom 0
brkmax 0
brkrampstr 10
brkout -10
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Peter

Re: Regen issue
Why do you have to power down and restart? What happens otherwise?

Re: Regen issue
Hello Johannes. Thank you for your reply. The inverter will not allow the motor to run again unless I power down and restart.

Re: Regen issue
Hi again Johannes. I am using 4.59 software, would it be better to use the latest now as you have made so may improvements ?
Re: Regen issue
What do you get if you click the "Display Error Memory" button, after start and when the inverter is not starting again

Re: Regen issue
You can always try as you can just downgrade if you run into issues.
I have no idea what changes I made since.

Re: Regen issue
Can you set fmin to 0.3 and try again?

Re: Regen issue
Hi Johannes. Has anyone ever told you that you are a genius ?? If not may I be the first to say so
My next task is to use the regen pot to control how much regen when brake pedal pressed.

Re: Regen issue
Good to hear
I think I'm gonna delete that fmin parameter and hard code it to a very low value. It's caused a lot of trouble.

Re: Regen issue
I agree, it especially causes problems with low min slip settings. Are there any possible problems from setting it too low?

Re: Regen issue
No the only goal is to have a 0 amplitude criteria. I guess I'll hard-code 0.2Hz
