DESCRIPTION
n
•
This parameter must be set to the vehicle's nominal battery pack
voltage.
n
•
Defines which inputs will be used to determine an interlock:
0 = KSI (interlock turns on with keyswitch).
1 = Single NO switch (Switch 1 Input).
2 = Single switch with NO and NC contacts
(same as two switches with crossed polarity, such as
Switch 1 is NO and Switch 3 is NC).
3 = CAN bus PDO message from the traction controller.
This parameter applies only when a steer fault action of either "Warning
then Shutdown" or "Hold then Shutdown" is triggered (see Table 6,
troubleshooting chart).
When one of these faults is detected, the Fault Steering Timeout
sets the maximum time allowed for the traction controller to bring the
vehicle to a stop.
Typically this parameter is set to zero. When set to zero, there is no
"warning" and there is no "hold" before the shutdown.
Setting this parameter to a value greater than zero can allow time
for the traction system to start interlock braking to come to a smoother,
gentler stop before the fault output forces the traction contactor to open
and EM brake to release.
If the vehicle does not stop within the set timeout, at the end of the
timeout the fault output will force the traction contactor to open and the
EM brake to release, thus causing the vehicle to stop.
If the vehicle does stop within the set timeout, the fault output will open
the traction contactor and release the EM brake immediately when the
vehicle stops, without waiting for the expiration of the timeout.
Note: Setting this parameter to a value greater than zero requires
the traction controller's software (VCL and parameters) to permit
interlock braking. Please review your traction software before setting this
parameter to a non-zero value.
