Mitsuwiki: Add more information in the overview

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Outlander PHEV and Minicab MiEV feature a CANBus controlled 3.3 - 3.7kW charger suitable for budget EV conversions. Units out of the Outlander PHEV are most common and can be bought for under $100. The old 3.7kW versions from the i-MiEV (pre 2013) are known to fail often and need repair. Latest versions from the Outlander seem to have V2L capabilities<ref>https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/blog/a-battery-on-wheels-why-EVs-can-do-more-than-just-take-you-places.html</ref>.

Part numbers from the Outlander PHEV: W005T70271 (pre 2018) [https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=31366#p31366], W005T70272 (post 2018) [https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=23876#p23876]

==DC-DC Converter==
The charger has an integrated DC-DC converter outputting a fixed voltage that seems to vary some between users. 14.5V is common value, but 14.35V and all the way up to 15V is reported. The converter requires battery voltage between 200V and 400V on the DC bus.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>at about 397v the DCDC appears to stop operating via the enable lines. Currently untested if it continues via can. [https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=47144#p47144]

To start the DC-DC converter, first to apply 12V to pin 7 and GND to pin 10. You also need to have its casing connected to common GND and 12V at the Pin 8 IGCT main power pin.

Then apply 12V ENABLE signal to pin 4 and you will see 14.5Vdc on the power line.

The DCDC is capable of at least 1800W of power. At moderate power levels, the internal temperature is not increased much.

Note: Although the above pin numbers, for the 13 pin external connector, match the Mitsubishi wiring diagram the numbers marked on the connector are reversed for each row. Pin 1 is CAN H (Black), pin 6 is NC (orange), pin 7 is CAN L (red ) and pin 13 Sense ( green ). IGCT +12V power should not be powered permanently, this will create problems for using the charger. Recommended to only have the Charger powered with Ignition on or charging.

Its not recommended to have permeant 12v supply to GND and IGCT as it will cause issues with the charger not functioning properly. recommended wiring with the zombiverter is as follows:

* GND to ground
* SENSE to permeant 12v+
* IGCT to switch 12v+ via a relay controlled by an zombie output pin set to "HVactive"
* DC SW to zombie controlled IGN relay

this ensures the DCDC only starts drawing HV after precharge is complete, and powers down the OBC when the HV system is off. the zombie must take care of the proximity pilot detection in order imitate charge mode, which will turn on the HV, outlander dcdc, and start sending the correct CAN messages for charging.

==== External Connector ====
[[File:13 pin connector.png|thumb]]

The charger is controlled via a 13-pin connector mounted on a short tail into the case. Connectors seem to be widely available to mate with this. Search for "Sumitomo 6189-1092 13-WAY CONNECTOR KIT Inc Terminals & seals [13-AC001]".

==== Internal Connector ====
[[File:Outlander DC-DC OBC Signal Connector.jpg|thumb|Empty Connector in Socket]]
In case the Charger doesn't come with the signal pigtail (which it usually does), the internal signal connector is from the Hirose GT8E series<ref>https://www.hirose.com/de/product/document?clcode=CL0758-0051-6-00&productname=GT8E-12DS-HU&series=GT8E&documenttype=Catalog&lang=de&documentid=D49379_en (Backup: [http://web.archive.org/web/20230429103946/https://www.hirose.com/de/product/document?clcode=CL0758-0051-6-00&productname=GT8E-12DS-HU&series=GT8E&documenttype=Catalog&lang=de&documentid=D49379_en Web Archive])</ref>, specifically the Hirose GT8E-12DS-HU<ref>https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/798-GT8E-12DS-HU</ref> with Hirose GT8E-2022SCF<ref>https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/798-GT8E-2022SCF</ref> pins.

===AC Power Connector===
[[File:Outlander DCDC OBC 12V Cap.jpg|thumb|Mitsubishi "MUC000691" cap]]
The AC power connector is Yazaki 7283-7350-30 / Toyota 90980-11413<ref>https://www.auto-click.co.uk/7283-7350-30?search=90980-11413 (Backup: [http://web.archive.org/web/20230505213401/https://www.auto-click.co.uk/7283-7350-30?search=90980-11413 Web Archive])</ref>.

[[File:Outlander Charger AC connector.jpg|none|thumb]]

===+12V DC Connector===
The thread size of the +12V stud of the DC/DC converter is M8. The Mitsubishi part number for the correct cap is "MUC000691".

==Charge Control==
There is no voltage adjustment only current so your controller needs to monitor output voltage and step the charge current. Regardless of the set current the pilot signal will limit the charge current automatically. The pilot signal duty cycle is available on the can bus.

The OBC is capable of delivering 12A DC. Dependent on your system voltage, the power output may be limited below 3.7 kW. For example, for a 250V system, the power output is only 12*250 = 3kW.

===CANBus Messages===
[https://openinverter.org/forum/download/file.php?id=6649 Outlander Charger DBC File]

https://github.com/haand22/Mitsubishi_Outlander_PHEV.git

The CANBus interface operates at 500kbps/100ms.

Starting charging requires two messages:

0x285 alone will connect the EVSE but won't charge until you send 0x286. Byte 2 = 0xb6 pulls in the EVSE.

0x286 byte 2 sets the DC charge current, there is a voltage setting on byte 0 and 1. '''The requested current should be limited to 12A, going above this results in strange current delivery. If 13A is requested, charging does not even start.'''

Charger will only start charging if EVSE CP is connected and requested current is below EVSE limit.
- Byte 0-1 = Voltage setpoint (Big Endian e.g. 0x0E 0x74 = 3700 = 370v)
- Byte 2 = Current in amps x 10
The charger also returns information over the CANbus:

0x377h 8bytes DC-DC converter status
- B0+B1 = 12V Battery voltage (h04DC=12,45V -> 0,01V/bit)
- B2+B3 = 12V Supply current (H53=8,3A -> 0,1A/bit)
- B4 = Temperature 1 (starts at -40degC, +1degC/bit)
- B5 = Temperature 2 (starts at -40degC, +1degC/bit)
- B6 = Temperature 3 (starts at -40degC, +1degC/bit)
- B7 = Statusbyte (0x20=standby, 0x21=error, 0x22=in operation)
- - bit0(LSB) = Error
- - bit1 = In Operation
- - bit3 =
- - bit4 =
- - bit5 = Ready
- - bit6 =
- - bit7(MSB) =

0x389
- B0 = Battery Voltage (as seen by the charger), needs to be scaled x 2, so can represent up to 255*2V; used to monitor battery during charge
- B1 = Charger supply voltage, no scaling needed
- B6 = AC Supply Current x 10
- B7 = DC side current x 10 (should equal commanded current)
0x38A
- B0 = temp x 2?
- B1 = temp x 2?
- B3 = EVSE Control Duty Cycle (granny cable ~26 = 26%)

'''Parallel charger control:'''

One can use several chargers in parallel each on its own AC phase line.

Charger works good with simple 12V square PWM signal derived from DUE. So to control chargers in parallel i just need to send fake CP signal into DUE and sense the square weave to output two identical square weaves on other PWM pins. Chargers will respond to 0x286 request.

'''Charger voltage control:'''

Charger voltage control is dependent on reading its voltage reports on telegram 0x

First i request listening to CAN in main function. Of course variables need to be declared...

<syntaxhighlight lang="C">
CAN_FRAME incoming;

if (Can0.available() > 0) {
Can0.read(incoming);
if (incoming.id == 0x389) {
voltage = incoming.data.bytes[0];
Ctemp = incoming.data.bytes[4];
}
if (incoming.id == 0x377){
aux1 = incoming.data.bytes[0];
aux2 = incoming.data.bytes[1];
auxvoltage = ((aux1 * 256) + aux2); //recalculate two bit voltage value
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>

I request charger command telegram function and within i condition for high voltage reduction and stop.

<syntaxhighlight lang="C">
void sendCANframeA() {
outframe.id = 0x286; // Set our transmission address ID
outframe.length = 8; // Data payload 8 bytes
outframe.extended = 0; // Extended addresses - 0=11-bit 1=29bit
outframe.rtr=1; //No request
outframe.data.bytes[0]=0x28;
outframe.data.bytes[1]=0x0F; // 0F3C=3900, 0DDE=3550, 0,1V/bit

if(voltage < 193) { // if Charger senses less than 386V
outframe.data.bytes[2]=0x78; // 78=120 12A, 50=80 8A, 32=50 5A, 1E=30, 3A 14=20 2A at 0,1A/bit
}
else if(voltage <= 194) { // if Charger senses less than or equal 388V
outframe.data.bytes[2]=0x1E;
}
else { //any other case
outframe.data.bytes[2]=0x00;
}

outframe.data.bytes[3]=0x37; // why 37?
outframe.data.bytes[4]=0x00;
outframe.data.bytes[5]=0x00;
outframe.data.bytes[6]=0x0A;
outframe.data.bytes[7]=0x00;

if(debug) {printFrame(&outframe,1); } //If the debug variable is set, show our transmitted frame

if(myVars.CANport==0) Can0.sendFrame(outframe); //Mail it

else Can1.sendFrame(outframe);
}
</syntaxhighlight>

'''DCDC aux voltage control'''

I can also control 12V aux battery charging by reading DCDC report on 0x377. When aux voltage drops too much i can start DCDC or 3 minutes and 12V battery gets charged up.

<syntaxhighlight lang="C">
if (auxvoltage < 1200) { // if aux voltage is low and DCDC is off
auxState = true; // set the flag to true

elapsedtime = millis();
}

DCDCauxcharge();
</syntaxhighlight>

Within this function then i compare status and count down 3min for the charge event

<syntaxhighlight lang="C">
void DCDCauxcharge() {

if ((auxState == true) && (digitalRead(Enable_pin) == LOW)) { // auxvoltage went below 12.2V
digitalWrite(DCDC_active, HIGH);

if (millis() - elapsedtime >= ontime) { // if aux voltage is low and for 5min
digitalWrite(DCDC_active,LOW); // turn off DCDC_active relay

elapsedtime = millis();
auxState = false;
}
}
else { // if auxvoltage is OK
auxState = false; // turn off DCDC_active relay
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Lots of other functions can be prepared on basis of CAN report reading. Those are some functions that are usefull.

Did you know you can convert your existing fossil powered vehicle to use electricity instead? And that you can even produce that electricity yourself?

Open Inverter is a [[Main Page#Who we are|community of people]] and projects focused on open source solutions for EV conversions. Founded in 2008 by Johannes Huebner as an open source inverter control firmware, the project has since expanded to include the reuse of components from production EVs and hybrids, including inverters, motors, batteries, on-board chargers, and DC-DC converters, as well as the open source implementation of other necessary systems for EV conversions such as DC Fast Charging controllers.

==Reusing motors and inverters - aka drive trains==
[[File:Tesla_LDU.jpg|thumb]]
The drive train is one of the defining building blocks of your conversion as it defines how well your vehicle picks up speed. Over the years we have reverse engineered many popular drive trains from [[:Category:OEM|production cars]] such as Teslas. As a bonus using such complete drive trains facilitates getting the vehicle [[Legalities|road legal]] in many countries. By now you have a choice of low to medium power drive trains that only cost a few 100€ up to high performance ones at many 1000€.

We have established two methods of running these [[:Category:OEM|OEM]] systems: reverse-engineering their communication protocol and making the drive train "think" it is still in its original vehicle OR swapping out the control electronics for our own open source motor controller. The latter method gives your more control and power but also a steeper learning curve.

Nearly all drive trains are targeted at 400V battery voltage. Run at a lower voltage they will produce proportionally less power.
Here is what we have done so far and how we've done it. Some is still work in progress (WIP)

==Reusing Batteries==
[[File:A09A7634.jpg|thumb]]
The most expensive and probably equally defining component is the [[Batteries|battery]] that stores all the energy for running your car. Batteries are usually assembled from a number of modules that in turn contain a number of cells. Usually batteries are reused on a [[Batteries#OEM modules|module level]]. In rare cases the battery can be [https://youtu.be/_7l0Y1GsNJ4 reused as is in its original battery] box.

While there are also various [[16-cell BMS|open source implementations]] of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QsMoCrSTYc battery management systems] (BMS) we generally recommend using as much of the OEM BMS as possible. Sometimes the [[:Category:OEM|OEM]] BMS comes as an all-in-one solution that measures cell data and spits out state of charge and power limit information. In other cases the BMS is split into module units that measure the physical data (voltages, temperatures) and a central unit that calculates the high level information.

Sometimes we managed to reuse the complete system which is generally the safest as you can rely on the manufacturers well tested charge and discharge limits as well as reliable state of charge information (i.e. how much energy is left in the battery at any given time). In other cases we only managed to reuse the module units. This adds the convenience of having a well tested piece of hardware with the matching connector but required us to calculate all high level battery data ourselves. This also includes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGYLPOlT45A cell balancing].

== Onboard chargers and DC/DC converters ==
[[File:PXL_20241020_024043714.jpg|thumb|Onboard charger]]
The DC/DC converter takes energy from your HV traction battery and sends it to the cars 12V systems and 12V battery. It is basically a 1:1 replacement of the former alternator. An onboard charger (OBC) takes AC current from the grid and converts it into DC current to charge the battery. These two devices are often combined in one common enclosure hence why we treat them as one.

== Rapid Charging==
[[File:Ccs-socket.jpg|thumb|CCS2 rapid charging socket]]
The above mentioned onboard chargers always have limited power as the space requirements and cost rise with power. To overcome this limitation modern EVs offer external access to their HV battery via a so called [[:Category:Rapid Charging|rapid charging]] port. This allows to charge the battery with a much more powerful external charger. As a bonus it also allows [[Bidirectional Charging|taking energy from the HV battery]] and powering appliances with it.

There are 2 rapid charging protocols and 5 connector flavours world wide
