Mitsubishi CAN communication

[arber333]

I decided to make a set of reports from Mitsubishi components when operating. I think we can use those reports to control several things in a car while driving.

0x289 8bytes at 100ms

B0+B1 = torque report = ((H*256+L)-10000)/10
B2+B3 = RPM report = ((H*256+L)-20000)
B4+B5 = HV report = ((H*256+L))
B7 = RSDN pin status = 04 - not connected, 00 - connected

0x299 8bytes at 100ms

B0 = Peak motor temp B-40 [°C]
B1 = motor temp B-40 [°C]
B4 = motor temp B-40 [°C]

0x732 8bytes at 100ms

B0+B1 = motor current 1 report Ia= ((H*256+L)-1000)
B2+B3 = motor current 2 report Ib= ((H*256+L)-1000)
B4 = rotor angle report

Calculate motor current 3 report Ic

Ic = -Ia - Ib

In this equation, Ic is the current in the third phase, and Ia and Ib are the current values in the first and second phases, respectively. Assuming that the system is balanced.

Calculate the DC current

DC Current (Idc) = |Ia| + |Ib| + |Ic|

0x398 8bytes at 100ms

B0 = 00->01 as soon as 0x285h is received
B1 = seems to be current report [Current = dec value/10]
B2 = could be power applied. It certainly changes fast enough with current.
B3 = seems to be inlet temperature [temp=dec value-40]
B4 = seems to be outlet temperature [temp=dec value-40]
B7 = h70 when HV is <175Vdc, h00 when HV >175Vdc. So 175V seems to be the low-voltage limit

B2 = RPM report high byte
B3 = RPM report low byte
b4 = seems to be amp flow [current=dec value/10]
B7 = CAN status 00-No CAN, 01-CAN error, 02-heartbeat 0x285 present.

I decided to make a database of mitsu commands that components require to operate them.

Heartbeat

All of Mitsu components require this heartbeat to operate

0x285 00,00,14,39,91,FE,0C,10 at 10ms for driving

0x285 00,00,B6,39,91,FE,0C,10 at 10ms for charging

0x286 Frame Sent to charger to control charging at 100ms
Byte0 +Byte1 = 0F28=388.0V, 0,1V/bit Voltage seems to be ignored
Byte2 = 78=12A -> 0,1A/bit Current in amps x 10

Mitsubishi Heater

0x188 03 50 A2 4D 00 00 00 00 at 100ms

byte0 is 03 as heartbeat is received.
byte1 seems to be working with 20 or 50
byte2 is power command
byte3 4D

Also i changed byte2 from A2 into
12 and i got 0.1A
22 i got 1.8A
32 i got 3.4A
42 i got 5.6A
52 i got 5.6A
62 i got 6.8A
72 i got 6.8A
82 i got 8.5A

B0 is status command, 08 means standby and 0B is start
B2 just works with 1D signal
B5 is RPM command from 08 (min) to 54(max)
B7 can be 00 or 03, it does not differentate

Thank you for listing them out like this, did you compile this into a .DBC file?

No, not yet. I am working on my Mazda system and it seemed natural to put them all in the same place.

This all looks great, do these can messages also relate to the Mitsubishi Imiev components? Cheers guys.

I never tested. If you come around to it let us know which messages work...

tnx
