MG 4 Gear Selector

2025-08-30T16:41:35Z

WillK: Added links to github and forum

==General Information==
MG 4 uses a rotary gear selector.

Neutral corresponds to the central rest postion, Reverse is selected by an anticlockwise twist, Drive by clockwise rotation of the gear knob.

Park is selected by pressing the gear knob.

Selected gear is communicated by CAN.

The unit incorporates three LEDs across the top of the unit which correspond to Reverse, Neutral and Drive.

The knob itself lights up in Yellow when Park is selected.

=== Part Numbers ===
SAIC Motor Shift-by-wire : 11357121

===Pinout and Connector===

The shifter uses a 12 way connector, of which only 5 pins are connected.

Required plug is:
Molex 347290122 : https://www.molex.com/en-us/products/part-detail/0347290122

When viewed from the rear of the unit, Pin1 is top-left, Pin12 is bottom right.

=== Operation ===
On poweron, the selector will start in the PARK position, and this will be communicated in message 0x09D

To enable shifting three messages must be sent to the shifter, repeated at 50ms, CanIds: 0x047, 0x12a, 0x2b6 as described below.

Stopping sending the 0x47 message will cause the shifter to enter into PARK position and prevent a gear being selected.

Restarting 0x47 messages will re-enable the shifter and allow a gear to be selecte.

===CAN Bus===
The Powertrain CAN Bus has a baud rate of 500kBaud.

Most messages have a standard CRC-8-SAE J1850. (polynomial 0x1D)

CAN Messages are sent every 50ms.

Observed data is described below.

[[Index|Wiki Index]] - quick reference for all info on the wiki.

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 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 incudes [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

Hyundai Ioniq CCS Charge Inlet 91684-G7010

2024-08-03T20:22:18Z

WillK:

[[File:Charge inlet backshell.jpg|thumb|Backshell showing LED connector at top and actuator middle]]
[[File:CCS inlet rhs.jpg|thumb|Shows 2.7K resistor block on right hand side of inlet, LED connector on top]]
The Hyundai Ioniq AE CCS Charge Inlet part number 91864-G7010 combines a Type 2 charge port (single phase) with a CCS2 DC inlet. The full part is shown below with approx. 2M of shielded DC cable, a TE AMP+ connector for the Hyundai battery pack, connector to onboard charger and 14-way plug presumably connecting to the car's charge controller. There are orange plastic 'pass through' mouldings that mount and route the HV DC cables which can be removed, and a cable release for manually releasing the charge port lock pin if it gets stuck in the inlet.

[[File:Hyundai CCS charge port.jpg|thumb|Full cable assembly with charge inlet, battery connector, OBC connector]]
[[File:CCS inlet.jpg|thumb|CCS inlet. Charge port LED shown at top]]The charge port inlet has a two part backshell, with DC HV cables exiting via a right angle backshell. These are fairly easily removed but the plastic tabs are weak. The charge port lock actuator screws to the left side of the charge port and a manual wire pull release attaches to it to pull the locking pin back out if required.

The actuator requires 12V across orange and blue wires, reversed to change the actuator direction. The other two wires (red and yellow) from the actuator are a feedback mechanism. If the lock is powered closed (ie pin fully extended), 1K is then measured across red and yellow.

An LED is mounted in the top of the port, above the AC input.

On the right hand side is a resistor block containing a 2.7K resistor between PE and PP.
[[File:14 way connector top side.jpg|thumb|Wire side of 14 way connector, top side. Pin 1 top right: brown-black, pin 8 below it: black.]]
[[File:14 way connector bottom view.jpg|thumb|Bottom view of 14 way connector. Bottom row starts at pin 8, black, at the top]]
There is a 'commoning block' that connects the AC cable shielding, the paired CP/PP cable shielding and PE itself to a common wire (pin 12) into the 14 way connector.

The inlet has only one thermistor, positioned between the two DC HV cables in the inlet.

There is a 3 way AC connector for the on board charger.

The 14 way connector pinout is described below. Pin numbering starts at the top right pin when looking from the wire side of the plug, and is black/brown. Pin 8 starts on right hand side of bottom row, black.

== MG5 Charge Port ==

The MG5 uses a combined Type 2 - CCS2 charge port. The charge port is of fairly basic design. 
The HV cables exit sideways to give a reasonably slimline (<120mm) profile 
Charge port locking is implemented with the usual 12V actuator, polarity of wires is reversed to unlock. There is a manual pull cable override. 
There are 4 temperature sensors, one each of +ve and -ve pins for AC (Type2) and DC (CCS) connections. 
The sensors are of NTC type, esitmated to be NTC100K - measured resistance 107kOhm at room temp.<ref>https://www.vectorcontrols.com/download/General/temperature_curves_V1-4.pdf</ref> 
The are no LEDs for lighting nor charge status indications. 
Printing on the port specifies DC Max 200A, 750V; AC 32A, 250V. This is consistent with the MG5s max. charging speed of 80kw (400V).

'''Welcome to the open inverter community'''

= Legalities=
*[[Legalities|Legalities around conversion projects]]
Different countries have different legislation, if you want your car to certified for the road in your country please take the time to review this section. It might save you going down the wrong direction and creating something that can never be driven, or incur costs.
= Introduction =
The open inverter started as a scratch built inverter and control board led by Johannes Hübner who designed and built his open open source AC motor controller dubbed the "open inverter".

Since then, the community has established and documented hardware and software approaches to reuse OEM inverters with the Open control board, and has more recently started on controlling OEM inverters over CAN, a process which doesn't require replacing any internal parts.

The main goal of the open inverter community is to reverse engineer many of these components for use in a variety of projects such as:

* EV conversion
* Energy storage
* Power generation
* Charging infrastructure
* etc.

Open inverter projects now span over many different areas surrounding PEV, HEV, and PHEV components, such as:
* Motor Controllers
* 1-3 phase power converters
* DC/DC converters
* buck/boost converters
* Battery Management Systems (BMS)
* Vehicle integration
* etc.

As a result, there is a growing collection of open source software and hardware designed for the never ending list of OEM parts.

There's a variety of methods of repurposing these OEM components. Methods here are generally chosen with future proofing in mind , reducing chances of firmware or software updates from the manufacture "bricking" or blocking the open source control efforts.

such efforts include:

* Mainboard/brain replacement
*[[Getting started with CAN bus|CANBUS/LINBUS]]
*[[wikipedia:Synchronous_serial_communication|Sync serial]]
*[[wikipedia:FlexRay|FlexRay]]
*[[wikipedia:Pulse-width_modulation|PWM]]
* Sirmware/software reprogramming
* etc.

Resulting in many bespoke boards running the main open inverter software or other open/semi-open source code designed to ether replace OEM motherboards or VCUs.

This has lead to a large collection of different boards and software, many with redundant features. To unify many of these development projects, the community at large is focused on making a set of standard VCUs and replacement control boards which handle the ever growing list of OEM components.

=== Many of the VCU and replacement boards consist of these 3 main parts: ===

= Getting Started =

'''Please note:''' Performing a 'full' EV conversion can often be more straight forward than trying to make small modifications to OEM vehicles - an OEM system will normally require a set of components all talking to each other and keeping each other happy! Trying to, for example, add a different battery charger, or bypassing certain restrictions will often require significant reverse engineering of the existing system to ensure that the new component(s) do not cause errors or problems in the system which can avalanche into significant problems! A full EV conversion, in comparison, can usually focus on just keeping one component happy at a time (although integrating these different components can still require a lot of work).

The Community is focused on the electrical systems required for an EV, and may not be best placed to assist with mechanical issues specific to your vehicle.

===Glossary of Terms===
It is recommended you read the '''[[Glossary of Terms]]''' before you begin. Often you'll find TLAs (three letter acronyms) peppered through the support forum and on this wiki, take the time to familiarise yourself with them before hand, remember this exists, or bookmark/favourite it so you can referent back to it.

===EV conversions:===
