  • Page 3: Modes

    Powerfinn power supply mode is remote controlled power supply that provides close compatibility to Powerfinn PAP3200/CAN product family. This mode uses fast HW control loop, which is stable for almost all loads. This feature is available in software version 7 or later.
  • Page 4: Common Features For All Modes

    Common features for all modes Powerfinn Robust series chargers feature dynamic power limit. This means, maximum voltage and maximum current can be set at same time. One of them can be output at one time. Depending on load, output operates on voltage, current or power limit. Limits are either maximums of the model or smaller values set by a charging algorithm, remote control messages or configured limits.

Charger sends heartbeat message once per second CAN-ID: 700h + node-ID, DLC: 1, data: 7Fh. Set charger to operational state by sending start remote node message CAN-ID: 000, DLC: 2, data[0]: 1, data[1]: node-ID for example...

    Unidirectional power supply mode replaces PDO power supply mode in SW type 11613011. It allows Powerfinn Robust series chargers to partially emulate some other brands of chargers. The term unidirectional derives from the fact that in this mode CAN controller sends messages to charger but charger does not send messages to CAN controller.
