2.3 BLOCK DIAGRAM

2.4 CONTROL UNIT

2.4.a Microswitches

- The microswitches must have a contact resistance lower than 0.1W and a leakage current lower than 100µA.

- When full load connected, the voltage between the key switch contacts must be lower than 0.1V.

- The microswitches send a voltage signal to the microprocessor when a function request

(for ex.: running request) is made.

2.4.b Accelerator unit

The accelerator unit can consist of a potentiometer or an Hall effect device.

It should be in a 3-wire configuration.

CPOT (A11, Saab connector version; A1, Molex Minifit version) signal ranges from 0 to

10V.

Potentiometer value should be in the 0.5 - 10 Kohm range; generally, the load should be in the 1.5mA to 30 mA range. Faults can occur if it is outside this range.

Page 4

The Procedure for automatic potentiometer signal acquisition is carried out using the

Console. This enables adjustment of the minimum and maximum useful signal level

(PROGRAM VACC function), in either direction. This function is unique when it is necessary to compensate for asymmetry with the mechanical elements associated with the potentiometer, especially relating to the minimum level.

The sequence of procedure is described in the programming console manual.

The two graphs show the output voltage from a non-calibrated potentiometer with respect to the mechanical “zero” of the control lever. MI and MA indicate the point where the direction switches close. 0 represents the mechanical zero of the rotation.

The Left Hand graph shows the relationship of the motor voltage without signal acquisition being made. The Right Hand Graph shows the same relationship after signal acquisition of the potentiometer.

2.4.c Other analog control unit

1) Input A13 (Saab connector version), A8 (Molex Minifit version) is an analog input, whose typical application is for proportional braking. It should be in a 3 wire configuration. Potentiometer value should be in the 0.5-10KW range. Generally, the load should be in the 1.5mA to 30 mA range.

The CPOTB (A13, A8) signal range is from 0 to 10V.

2) Connections A3 (Saab), B6 (Minifit) (PTHERM) and A4 (Saab), B12 (minifit)

(NTHERM) are used for a motor thermal sensor. It can be digital (on/off sensor, normally closed) or analog. See also chapter 4.4 for more explanation.

2.4.d Speed feedback

The motor control is based upon the motor speed feedback. The speed transducer is an incremental encoder, with two phases shifted at 90°. The encoder can be of different types

:

power supply: +5V or +12V

electric output: open collector ( NPN or PNP), push-pull, line driver

standard (A and B) or differential (A, A, B, B) output

For more details about encoder installation see also chapter 3.6.

Page 5

2.5 PROTECTION FEATURES

- Battery polarity inversion:

It is necessary to fit a MAIN CONTACTOR to protect the inverter against reverse battery polarity and for safety reasons.

- Connection Errors:

All inputs are protected against connection errors.

- Thermal protection

If the chopper temperature exceeds 75°C, the maximum current is reduced in proportion to the thermal increase. The temperature can never exceeds 100°C.

- External agents:

The inverter is protected against dust and the spray of liquid to a degree of protection meeting IP54.

- Protection against uncontrolled movements:

The main contactor will not close if:

- The Power unit is not functioning.

- The Logic is not functioning perfectly.

- the output voltage of the accelerator does not fall below the minimum voltage value stored, with 1V added.

- Running microswitch in closed position.

- Low battery charge: when the battery charge is low, the maximum current is reduced to the half of the maximum current programmed.

- Protection against accidental Start up

A precise sequence of operations are necessary before the machine will start.

Operation cannot begin if these operations are not carried out correctly.

Requests for drive, must be made after closing the key switch

Page 6

2.6 OPERATIONAL FEATURES

- Speed control.

- Optimum behavior an a slope due to the speed feedback:

- the motor speed follows the accelerator, starting a regenerative braking if the speed overtakes the speed set-point.

- the system can perform an electrical stop on a ramp (the machine is electrically hold on a slope) for a programmable time (see also chapter 4.4)

- Stable speed in every position of the accelerator.

- Regenerative release braking based upon deceleration ramps.

- Regenerative braking when the accelerator pedal is partially released (deceleration).

- Direction inversion with regenerative braking based upon deceleration ramp.

- Regenerative braking and direction inversion without contactors: only the main contactor is present.

- The release braking ramp can be modulated by an analog input, so that a proportional brake feature is obtained.

- Optimum sensitivity at low speeds.

- Voltage boost at the start and with overload to obtain more torque (with current control).

- The inverter can drive an electromechanical brake

- Hydraulic steering function:

1) traction inverter

- the traction inverter sends a "hydraulic steering function" request to the pump inverter on the can-bus line (see also OPTION chapter 4.4)

- moreover , if the pump inverter is not present (for ex: tractor application), the traction inverter can manage an "hydraulic steering function" by driving a hydro contactor which drive a hydraulic steering motor (output A7 (Saab), B9 (Minifit), see also OPTION chapter)

2) pump inverter

- the pump inverter manage an "hydraulic steering function". That is, it drives the pump motor at the programmed speed for the programmed time.

- High efficiency of motor and battery due to high frequency commutations.

- Self diagnosis with indication of the fault shown by a flashing led.

- Modification of parameters through the programming console.

- Internal hour-meter with values that can be displayed on the console.

- Memory of the last five alarms with relative hour-meter and temperature displayed on the console.

- Test function within console for checking main parameters.

Page 7

2.7 DIAGNOSIS

The microprocessor continually monitors the inverter and carries out a diagnostic procedure on the main functions. The diagnosis is made in 4 points

1) Diagnosis on key switch closing that checks: watchdog circuit, current sensor, capacitor charging, phase's voltages, contactor drives, can-bus interface, if the switch sequence for operation is correct and if the output of accelerator unit is correct.

2) Standby diagnosis at rest that checks: watchdog circuit, phase's voltages, contactor driver, current sensor, can-bus interface.

3) Diagnosis during operation that checks: watchdog circuits, contactor driver, current sensors, can-bus interface.

4) Continuos diagnosis that check: temperature of the inverter, motor temperature.

Diagnosis is provided in two ways. The digital console can be used, which gives a detailed information about the failure; the failure code is also sent on the Can-Bus.

2.8 THERMAL CONSIDERATION

- The heat generated by the power block must be dissipated. For this to be possible, the compartment must be ventilated and the heat sink materials ample.

- The heat sink material and system should be sized on the performance requirement of the machine. Abnormal ambient air temperatures should be considered. In situations where either ventilation is poor, or heat exchange is difficult, forced air ventilation should be used.

- The thermal energy dissipated by the power block module varies and is dependent on the current drawn and the duty cycle.

2.9 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS .

- Never connect SCR low frequency chopper with ASYNCHRONOUS INVERTER because the ASYNCHRONOUS filter capacitors alter the SCR choppers' work. If it is necessary to use two or more control units (traction + lift. for ex.), they must belong to the

ZAPIMOS family.

- Do not connect the inverter to a battery with a nominal value different from the value indicated on the chopper plate. If the battery value is greater, the MOS may fail; if it is lower, the control unit does not "power up".

- During battery charge, disconnect ASYNCHRONOUS from the battery.

- Supply the ASYNCHRONOUS only with battery for traction; do not use a power supply.

- When the chopper is installed, make tests with the wheels raised from the ground, in order to avoid dangerous situations due to connection errors.

- After the chopper is switched off (key off), the filter capacitor remains charged for some minutes; if you need to work on the inverter, discharge them using a

10W ÷ 100W resistance connected from the +Batt to the -Batt.

Page 8

2.10 SUSCEPTIBILITY AND ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION

Electromagnetic susceptibility and emission are strongly influenced by the installation.

Special attention must be given to the lengths and the paths of the electric connections and the shields.

This situation is beyond ZAPI's control. Therefore ZAPI declines any responsibility for noncompliance if correct testing is not made (the irradiated emission directive is

EN50081-2).

2.11 MAIN CONTACTOR AND EMERGENCY SWITCH

- The connection of the battery line switches must be carried out following ZAPI instructions.

- If a mechanical battery line switch is installed, it is necessary that the key supply to the inverter is open together with power battery line; if not, the inverter may be damaged if the switch is opened during a regenerative braking.

- An intrinsic protection is present inside the logic when the voltage on the battery power connection overtakes 40% more than the battery nominal voltage or if the key is switched off before the battery power line is disconnected.

Page 9

3 INSTALLATION

Install the chopper with the base-plate on a flat metallic surface that is clean and unpainted.

Apply a light layer of thermo-conductive grease between the two surfaces to permit better heat dissipation.

Ensure that the wiring of the cable terminals and connectors is carried out correctly.

Fit transient suppression devices to the horn, solenoid valves, and contactors not connected to the chopper such as those for activating the pump motor or steering motor.

3.1 CONNECTION CABLES

For the auxiliary circuits, use cables of 0.5mm² section.

For power connections to the motor and to the battery, use cables having section in the

35÷50 mm² range (as a minimum).

For the optimum inverter performance, the cables to the battery should be run side by side and be as short as possible.

3.2 CONTACTORS

The main contactor must be installed. Depending on the position of a jumper installed in the logic board:

the output which drives the main contactor coil is on/off (the coil is driven with the full battery voltage).

the output which drives the main contactor coil is switched at high frequency (1 KHz) with a duty cicle of 70%; this feature is useful to decrease the power dissipation of the contactor coil.

3.3 FUSES

- Use a 6.3A Fuse for protection of the auxiliary circuits.

- For protection of the power unit, refer to diagrams.. The Fuse value shown is the maximum allowable. For special applications or requirements these values can be reduced.

- For Safety reasons, we recommend the use of protected fuses in order to prevent the spread of fused particles should the fuse blow.

4.4 FUNCTION CONFIGURATION

4.4.a Traction

Using the CONFIG MENU of the programming console, the user can configure the following functions (see "OPERATIONAL FEATURE" chapter for an explanation of "hydraulic steering function") :

SUBMENU "SET OPTIONS"

1 HOUR COUNTER

- RUNNING:

- KEY ON: the counter registers travel time only.

the counter registers when the "key" switch is closed.

2 BATTERY CHECK

- ON: the battery discharge level check is carried out; when the battery level reaches 10%, an alarm is signalled and the maximum current is reduced to the half of the programmed value.

the battery discharge level check is carried out but no alarm is - OFF: signalled.

3 CUTBACK MODE input B10 (Minifit), A28 (Amp Saab) is managed as a cutback - PRESENT: speed input.

- ABSENT: brake input.

4 HYDRO KEY ON input B10 (Minifit), A28 (Amp Saab) is managed as an hand-

- ON / OFF: if this option is programmed ON the traction inverter manages an hydraulic steering function when the "key" is switched ON (only if the "aux output

#1" option is programmed as "hydro contactor" or as "exclusive hydro").

5 STOP ON RAMP

- ON: the stop on ramp feature (truck electrically hold on a ramp) is managed for a time established by "auxiliary time" parameter. After this time, the behavior depends on the "aux output #1" option programmation (see also the following table).

- OFF:

6 AUX OUTPUT #1 the stop on ramp feature is not performed.

- BRAKE: output B9 (Minifit), A7 (Amp Saab) drives an electromagnetic brake coil (see also the table below).

- HYDRO CONT.: the inverter manages an hydraulic steering function when the direction input or brake pedal input are active or a movement of the truck is detected.

- EX. HYDRO: the inverter manages an hydraulic steering function when the exclusive hydro input is active.

7 PEDAL BRAKING

- ANALOG: the mechanical brake pedal has a switch and a potentiometer installed. When the accelerator is released and the pedal brake is pushed the inverter performs an electrical braking whose intensity is proportional to the brake

Page 32

pedal potentiometer. The minimum intensity is established by the "Release braking" parameter, when the brake pedal is slightly pressed (brake switch close but brake potentiometer at the minimum). The maximum intensity is established by the "Pedal braking" parameter when the brake pedal is fully pressed (brake potentiometer at the maximum). In the middle positions, the electrical braking intensity is a linear function between minimum and maximum intensity.

- DIGITAL: The truck does not have a potentiometer installed on the mechanical brake pedal, but only a microswitch; when the accelerator pedal is released and the brake pedal is pushed (brake switch closed), the inverter performs an electrical braking following "Pedal braking" parameter.

8 SET TEMPERATURE

- DIGITAL: a digital (ON/OFF) motor thermal sensor is connected to B6

(Minifit), A3 (Amp Saab) input.

- ANALOG: an analog motor thermal sensor is connected to B6 (Minifit), A3

(Amp Saab) (the curve can be customized on a customer request).

- NONE: no motor thermal sensor switch is connected.

SUBMENU "ADJUSTEMENT"

1 SET POT BRK MIN: records the minimum value of braking pedal potentiometer when the braking pedal switch is closed; the procedure is similar to the "Program

Vacc" function (see chapter 5.4). This procedure must be carried out only if the

"Pedal braking" option is programmed as "Analog".

2 SET POT BRK MAX: records the maximum value of braking pedal potentiometer when the braking pedal is fully pressed; the procedure is similar to the "Program

Vacc" function (see chapter 5.4). This procedure must be carried out only if the

"Pedal braking" option is programmed as "Analog".

3 SET BATTERY TYPE: selects the nominal battery voltage;

4 ADJUST BATTERY: fine adjustment of the battery voltage measured by the controller.

5 ADJUSTMENT #04: this parameter determines the motor temperature level at which the “Motor temperature” alarm is signalled. The range is from 70°C to 160°C with

10°C steps. This parameter must be adjusted only if the “Set temperature” (menu

“Set option”) parameter is programmed “Analog”.

6 THROTTLE 0 ZONE: establishes a deadband in the accelerator input curve (see also curve below).

7 THROTTLE X POINT: These parameter change the characteristic of the accelerator input curve.

8 THROTTLE Y POINT: These parameter change the characteristic of the accelerator input curve.

Page 33

VACC MIN and VACC MAX are values programmable by the "Program Vacc" function.

STER function of the console. The Console acts as a multimeter able to read voltage, current and temperature. The following definition listing shows the relative measurements :

1) MOTOR VOLTAGE: this is the voltage supplied to the motor by the inverter; it is expressed as a percentage of the full voltage (which depends of the battery voltage).

2) FREQUENCY: this is the frequency of the voltage and current supplied to the motor.

3) ENCODER: this is the speed of the motor, expressed in the same unit of the frequency; this information comes from the speed sensor.

4) SLIP VALUE: this is the difference of speed between the rotating field and the shaft of the motor, expressed in the same unit of the frequency.

5) CURRENT RMS: Root Mean Square value of the motor current.

6) TEMPERATURE: the temperature measured on the aluminum heat sink holding the

MOSFET devices.

7) MOTOR TEMPERATURE: this is the temperature of the motor; if the option is programmed "None" (see chapter 4.4.a) it shows 0°.

6.1 ANALYSIS OF ALARMS DISPLAYED ON CONSOLE

1. WATCH DOG

The test is made in both running and standby. It is a self-diagnosing test within the logic. If an alarm should occur, replace the logic.

2. EEPROM KO

Fault in the area of memory in which the adjustment parameters are stored; this alarm inhibits machine operation. If the defect persists when the key is switched OFF and

ON again, replace the logic. If the alarm disappears, remember that the parameters stored previously have been cancelled and replaced by the default values.

3. LOGIC FAILURE #1

This alarm signals that an undervoltage / overvoltage protection operation has occurred. Two possible reasons: a. A real undervoltage / overvoltage situation happened.

b. Fault in the hardware section of the logic board which manages the overvoltage protection. Replace the logic card.

4. LOGIC FAILURE #2

Fault in the hardware section of the logic board which manages the phase' s voltage feedback. Replace the logic board.

5. LOGIC FAILURE #3

Fault in the hardware section of the logic board which manages the hardware current

Page 56

protection. Replace the logic board.

6. CHECK UP NEEDED

This is a warning. It is an information for the user that the programmed time for maintenance is elapsed.

7. INCORRECT START

This alarm signals an incorrect starting sequence. Possible causes: a. running microswitch failure; b. error in sequence made by the operator; c. incorrect wiring; d. if the default persists, replace the logic.

8. FORW + BACK

The test is carried out continuously. An alarm is signalled when a double running request is made simultaneously. Possible causes: a. defective wiring; b. running microswitch failure; c. incorrect operation; d. if the defect persists, replace the logic.

9. HANDBRAKE

The truck does not start because the handbrake switch is opened. Possible causes: a.

defective wiring; b.

c.

failure of the microswitch; incorrect operation of the operator;

If the defect persist , replace the logic.

10. CAPACITOR CHARGE

Follows the charging capacitor system:

When the key is switched ON, the inverter tries to charge the capacitor through a power resistance, and check if the capacitor are charged within a timeout. If this is not true: an alarm is signalled; the main contactor is not closed.

Possible reasons: a) the charging resistance is opened; if it is opened.

b) The charging circuit has a failure.

c) There is a problem on the power modules.

Page 57

11. VMN LOW, VMN HIGH

The test is carried out during initial diagnosis and in standby.

Possible causes: a. problem with the motor connections or the motor power circuit; check if the 3 phases are correctly connected; check if there's a dispersion of the motor towards ground; b. inverter failure, replace it.

12. VACC NOT OK

The test is made in standby. This alarm indicates that the accelerator voltage is 1V greater than the minimum value programmed by the PROGRAM VACC function.

Possible causes: a. the potentiometer is not correctly calibrated; b. the potentiometer is defective.

13. PEDAL WIRE KO

This alarm is signalled if a fault is detected in the accelerator unit wiring (NPOT or

PPOT cable is interrupted).

14. STBY I HIGH

Test carried out in standby. Check if the current is 0. If not verified, an alarm is signalled which inhibits machine operations. Possible causes: a. current sensor failure; b. logic failure: first replace the logic; if the defect persists, replace the power unit.

15. MAIN CONTACTOR ALARMS

COIL SHORTED:

When the key is switched ON the µP checks the MC driver FF SR. If it does not react in a correct way to the µP stimulus, the alarm is signalled. Replace the logic board. The

FF SR makes an hardware control of the current in the MC coil. If this is too high, it opens the MC and the alarm is signalled.

Check if there are external shortcircuit and if the ohmic value of the MC is correct; otherwise replace the logic.

DRIVER SHORTED:

When the key is switched ON, the µP checks that the MC coil driver is not shorted; if it is, this alarm is signalled; replace the logic board.

CONTACTOR DRIVER:

When the initial diagnosis is finished, the traction logic closes the MC and checks the voltage on the Drain of the driver. If this is not low , an alarm is signalled.

Replace the logic.

CONTACTOR OPEN:

The main contactor coil has been driven by the logic board, but the contactor does not close. Two possible reasons: a) the wires to the coil are interrupted or not well connected.

b) the contact of the contactor is not properly working.

Page 58

16. AUX OUTPUT KO

The µP checks the driver of the electromechanical brake. If the status of the driver output does not correspond to the signal coming from the µP, the alarm is signalled.

Replace the logic.

17. HIGH TEMPERATURE

Chopper temperature is greater than 75°C. The maximum current is reduced proportionally to the temperature increase. The chopper stops at 100°C.

If the alarm is signalled when the chopper is cold: a) check the wiring of the thermal sensor; b) thermal sensor failure; c) logic failure.

18. MOTOR TEMPERATURE

This warning is signalled if the motor temperature switch opens (digital sensor) or if the analog signal overtakes the cut off level. If it happens when the motor is cold, check the wiring. If all is ok, replace the logic board.

19. THERMIC SENSOR KO

The range of inverter temperature sensor is always checked and a warning is signalled if it is out of range.

When this alarm is signalled, check the connection of the sensors.

20. WAITING PUMP

This alarm is present in combi systems (traction+pump). The pump has detected a failure, the traction cannot close the main contactor because of the alarm status of the pump (which the traction knows by the CAN-BUS line). The failure must be looked for in the pump inverter.

21. CAN BUS KO

The diagnosis of the CAN-BUS line is present only if the inverter uses this link (depends on the software version). It is signalled if the inverter does not receive any message from the CAN-BUS line. First of all, check the wiring. If it is ok, the problem is on the logic board, which must be replaced.

22. BATTERY LOW

If the "battery check" option is ON, a battery discharge algorithm is carried out. When the charge level is 10% , this alarm is signalled and the current is reduced to the half of the programmed level.

10. VACC NOT OK

The test is made in standby. This alarm indicates that the accelerator voltage is 1V greater than the minimum value programmed by the PROGRAM VACC function.

Possible causes: a. the potentiometer is not correctly calibrated; b. the potentiometer is defective.

Page 61

11. STBY I HIGH

Test carried out in standby. Check if the current is 0. If not verified, an alarm is signalled which inhibits machine operations. Possible causes: a. current sensor failure; b. logic failure: first replace the logic; if the defect persists, replace the power unit.

12. MAIN CONTACTOR ALARMS

In the combi system (pump + traction) the main contactor is driven by the traction inverter. So the following description concerns the pump inverter used independently from the traction inverter. In this configuration the pump inverter manages its own main contactor.

COIL SHORTED:

When the key is switched ON the µP checks the MC driver FF SR. If it does not react in a correct way to the µP stimulus, the alarm is signalled. Replace the logic board. The

FF SR makes an hardware control of the current in the MC coil. If this is too high, it opens the MC and the alarm is signalled.

Check if there are external shortcircuit and if the ohmic value of the MC is correct; otherwise replace the logic.

DRIVER SHORTED:

When the key is switched ON, the µP checks that the MC coil driver is not shorted; if it is, this alarm is signalled; replace the logic board.

CONTACTOR DRIVER:

When the initial diagnosis is finished, the traction logic closes the MC and checks the voltage on the Drain of the driver. If this is not low , an alarm is signalled.

Replace the logic.

CONTACTOR OPEN:

The main contactor coil has been driven by the logic board, but the contactor does not close. Two possible reasons: a) the wires to the coil are interrupted or not well connected.

b) the contact of the contactor is not properly working.

13. HIGH TEMPERATURE

Chopper temperature is greater than 75°C. The maximum current is reduced proportionally to the temperature increase. The chopper stops at 100°C.

If the alarm is signalled when the chopper is cold: a. check the wiring of the thermal sensor; b. thermal sensor failure; c. logic failure.

14. MOTOR TEMPERATURE

This warning is signalled if the motor temperature switch opens digital sensor or if the analog signal overtakes the cut-off level. If it happens when the motor is cold, check the wiring. If all is OK, replace the logic board.

15. THERMIC SENSOR KO

The range of inverter temperature sensor is always checked and a warning is signalled if it is out of range.

When this alarm is signalled, check the connection of the sensors.

Page 62

16. WAITING TRACTION

This alarm is present in combi systems (traction+pump). The traction has detected a failure has informed the pump inverter through the can-bus line. The pump is waiting for the traction ok. The failure must be looked for in the traction inverter.

17. CAN BUS KO

The diagnosis of the CAN-BUS line is present only if the inverter uses this link (depends on the software version). It is signalled if the inverter does not receive any message from the CAN-BUS line. First of all, check the wiring. If it is ok, the problem is on the logic board, which must be replaced.

18. BATTERY LOW

If the "battery check" option is ON, a battery discharge algorithm is carried out. When the charge level is 10% , this alarm is signalled and the current is reduced to the half of the programmed level.
