Regen Braking

All braking types are implemented using regenerative braking in the 4QPM MillipaK.
Braking can be initiated in one of 3 ways:
(i)
Direction Braking. Initiated when the direction switch inputs are reversed during drive.
i.e., Reverse is selected when driving in Forward or Forward is selected when driving in
Reverse.
(ii)
Footbrake Braking. Initiated when the operator depresses the Footbrake pedal and a
footbrake input is configured. See section below for more information about setting up and
configuring the system for Footbraking.
(iii)
Neutral braking. Initiated when the vehicle is put into neutral during drive and neutral
braking level is greater than 0%.

Braking Levels

Each Braking Type has its own personality for setting the required braking level. These are shown
below:

The three braking levels for direction, neutral and footbraking are used to determine the strength
of the braking. Setting the level to 0% disables braking (Note: Direction Braking cannot be
disabled), 1% sets the braking strength to minimum (weakest braking) and 100% sets the braking
strength to maximum (strongest braking).
