一、Debugging tools

1、CAN Bus analyzer (CAN-USB TOOL).

2、Programmer software ‘Enpower_Parameter_Calibrator’ (hereinafter referred to

as EPC).

二、Steps necessary for tools connection

1、CAN Bus analyzer drive must be installed on the laptop.

2、Make sure of the communication connected between CAN tool and the

laptop.

3、CAN-H & CAN-L wires of the analyzer must be connected with on-board

system with a terminal resistor.

三、Basic introduction of programmer software interface

1、Programmer main interface and introduction.

2、Introduction of EPC function subitem

⑴ Function bar

① Connect：Click this button to start the CAN communication with controller

when cable connected.

② Disconnect：Cut off the CAN communication with controller through the button.

③ Upload：You can save the controller parameters and monitoring data on your

laptop in txt format through this button when communication connected.

~ 3~
 (Controller→PC)

④ Download：You can load the parameters file in txt format into the controller

through this button (The file must be compatible with interface contents). (PC

→Controller)

⑤ Openparafile：Click the "Openparafile" option to open the text document of

the parameters saved by user.

⑥ Layout ： Different display interfaces can be set according to the user's

preference.

⑦ Curve：You can select the optional data in the MC-STATE column to generate

curve. Interface is as following.

⑧ SaveData：Click this button to set the cycle time of CAN Bus message and save

~ 4~
 the data of real-time collection in the MC-STATE.

⑨ Tool: Five extended function of the programmer.

⑩ MeasOn: It will show the MAX and MIN value of the data in the MC-STATE

column when it starts. It closes when it’s over.

⑪MeasReset: Value reset for the measurement.

⑫Setting: It’s for setting of connect type, baud rate, changing of configuration

tables. You need to finish this setting before starting the communication

connection. The display interface is as bellows.：

⑬Exit: Click the "Exit" option to shut down the EPC.

⑵ Parameters Setting Column

The adjustment of various functions of MCU can be completed by modifying

parameter in this section. There are 89 parameters in 4 columns with detailed
description in the following.

①MCU_F0-DATA : Contains 18 parameters（F0—F17）.

②MCU_F1-DATA: Contains 15 parameters（F18—F32）.

③MCU_F2-DATA: Contains 16 parameters（F33—F48）.

④MCU_F3-DATA: Contains 40 parameters（F58—F97）. Many parameters in

this column which contains a lot of reserved items. It could be custom-design

according to requirements of the clients. (Remark：Unavailable column）

⑶ Parameters monitoring column

According to the actual demand, showing the corresponding detection data to

monitor the state of the system in real time. Monitoring information and description of
the controller:

F49 Output current：Phase current in real-time，unit: A

~ 6~
 F50 Motor speed：Actual motor speed in real-time，unit: rpm

F51 Controller Temp.：Unit: ℃

F52 Motor Temp: Unit:℃

F53 Battery pack voltage：Unit: V

F54 Fault code: Ongoing fault code.

F55 Fault code of last record：Information of the latest fault code record.

F56 Display of throttle signal value：Corresponding value from 0 to peak

（full throttle）

F57 Gear position information ： 0=Neutral ， 1=Forward ， 2=Reverse

8=Low Speed Mode

⑷ Fault code information

The fault code in the list was made based on the CAN bus protocol. It

shows in F54. The corresponding relationship between digital status and fault

is as bellows:

1(0x1): High pedal failure.

4(0x4): The controller overheated.

5(0x5): The main circuit powered off.

6(0x6): Fault of current sampling circuit.

7(0x7): Encoder fault/locked rotor fault.

~ 7~
 9(0x9): Battery pack undervoltage.

10(0xA): Battery pack overvoltage.

11(0xB): The motor overheated.

12(0xC): Parameter storage verifying failure.

13(0xD): Throttle fault.

15(0xF): Electromagnetic brake failure.

21(0x15): Calibration host computer failed.

23(0x17): Output overcurrent fault.

⑸ Data monitor

After the communication connected, the received and sent data will be refreshed

and displayed constantly in this part, and the process can be paused, saved and cleared.

⑹ Status monitor

After the communication connected, the parameter modification status

(parameter download/upload status, parameter modification value, etc.) can be

displayed here.

⑺ Functions setting information display

After the function bar setting items are configured accordingly, they will be
displayed accordingly at the bottom.

四、Controller parameters setting and defination

1、MCU_F0-DATA setting and defination

Parameters F1-F6 are filled in with the motor real information（Usually finished already

and no need to change）；

~ 9~
 F4 ：Motor rated frequency.

F6 ：Motor rated speed ：Relation of the value: F4x30=F6

F7： Motor maximum speed limit：It decides the vehicle maximum speed. Only fine

adjustment suggested. It will cause effects on the motor running current.

F8: Non-load current of an AC motor：Control the phase current output.

F9 ：Rotor time-constant 1：Motor torque output，value range 550~850，and increasing

by 50 only, It could be calibrated on site. The vehicle could move when the value is over 400

（Special case:F9 is 350，it’s up to the motor）

F10：Rotor time-constant 2： It’s value is 150 bigger than F9 大 150（it is generally set

at the factory, no need to change）

F11: Time-constant switching frequency：Fixed parameter. No need to change.

F12 ：Pulse number of the encoder：Filled in with the actual motor data.（Wrong value

will cause abnormal running and the vehicle will not run or vibrating）

F13 ：Encoder orientation（0~1）：If motor running vibration，alter 1 or 0。

F14 ：Speedometer data setting: The bigger value to be set,the faster speed it shows.

F15 ：Time setting for lead acid battery discharging procedure.

F16 ：Motor speed setting of ECO mode.

F17：Software version
