CAN-bus electrical system

The data transmission is handled via a CAN-bus system.

CAN-bus ensures quick and reliable and at the same time the CAN-bus
simplifies the wiring harness in the vehicle as well as the diagnostic
troubleshooting should anything go wrong. This makes maintenance
easier and less components are required.

The logic unit is the heart of the control system for the forklift truck, but
with a CAN-BUS system, there are more than one independent
controller on the Controller Area Network to communicate with each
other to control the truck.

The inverters are connected to each motor.

The logic unit is connected to the other devices.

The MC system units that are located in this network are

Model information, fault detection, service management

Outline of Logic unit

This controller includes the power card and logic card

It controls all the jobs for the truck based on the operators input

The controller sends a motor control command to the right and


left traction inverter through the input of the direction lever or
the accelerator pedal. It also monitors malfunction of the traction
system.

The lever input triggers to send the motor control commands to


the pump inverter. It also monitors malfunction in the hydraulic
control system. In the FC specifications, this controller sends a
control command to the solenoid valves from the output unit by
the lever input. A malfunction in the valve control system is also
monitored by this controller.

The truck speed and residual battery power are monitored and shown on
this display unit.

The logic unit sets its model information and optional default data into
internal memory. The information is secured when the power supply is
turned off. This information is set at the factory.
If the truck model information is not set correctly, the truck will not
work properly.

Inverter Discharging Procedure


WARNING
Inverter discharging procedure :
1.
Turn off the key switch.
2.
Disconnect the battery plug.
3.
Lift up the seat.
4.
Place a 150/25 W resistor
between P and N terminals in the
right traction inverter to discharge
electric charges stored in the
inverter.
5.
After touching resistor to the P
and N terminals for approx. 5
sec., measure the voltage
between the terminals with a
multi-meter and confirm a reading
of 5 V or less.
6.
Perform the same procedure for
left traction inverter and pump
inverter in order to discharge
electric charge from all inverters.

BEFORE you start to work on any of the inverters, you MUST discharge the integrated capacitors.
DO NOT underestimate the power of these little components. Together they can store between 300 ~
500Amp.
Therefore you MUST discharge the capacitors per module before working on them.
The procedure is:

Disconnect the battery connector.

Remove counterweight cover

Use ceramic resistor 0358280 (150 / 25W) with two leads and crocodile clips and connect between
the + (POS) and (NEG) terminal pole.

Wait for approximately 20 ~ 30 seconds for the capacitors to discharge.

Repeat the same for the other inverter modules.


Now you are free to work safely with the controller modules.
Optional you can also use a 48V or 80V work light to discharge the capacitors. The light will also be an
indicator if the capacitors are discharged.

16

Removal and Installation Inverter Procedure

Removal
1. Raise the front wheels.
2. Perform step 1 to 5 in Inverter Discharging Procedure.
3. Disconnect all five power cables from P, N, U, V and W terminals. For the
pump inverter, leave P terminal as it is, and disconnect F terminal.
4. Disconnect the connector.
5. Remove M10 bolts (four places) fixing the inverter, then remove the inverter.
Installation
1. Wipe off the dirt and thermal paste from the inverter mounting surface once,
and also remove dirt from the mounting surface and the aluminum base plate of
the inverter.
2. Apply thermal paste approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) thick to the area where the
aluminum base plate of the inverter comes into contact with the truck body.
3. Fix the inverter with M10 bolts.
4. Connect the power cables to P, N, U, V and W terminals. For the pump inverter,
include F terminal.

Power Board Heat Conducting Paste

CAUTIONS
The power board is mounted
directly to the counterweight.
There are two different types of
heat conducting paste for
following models:
3 wheeler, AC : Silicone paste
(White)
4 wheeler, AC : Heat Cement
(Non-hardening graying colour)

Power Board Heat Conducting Paste


The power board is mounted directly to the counterweight.
There are two different types of heat conducting paste.
BEWARE:
On the 3 wheel 48V AC models : Silicone Paste (white !)
On the 4 wheel 48V AC models : Heat Cement
(non-hardening grayish color)
Reason: the counterweight of the 3 wheel models are machined, so fine
surface and the 4 wheel models
Have a non-machined surface. This results in a much rougher surface and
requires the heat-cement.
This is for ALL controller models that are fitted to the counterweight.
Do not mix up. Result could be burned-out power boards ! Or overheating
conditions.

What is Inverter?
The inverter is a motor drive controller that
consists of:
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) card,
Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) module
Drive boards
Using IMS to convert DC power to AC power
which features a transformer isolated sine
wave output.
It drives the AC induction motors according
to the motor control command from the logic
unit.
It also monitors malfunctions of motors and
its own condition. When a malfunction
occurs, it stops the motors and informs to the
logic unit.

MOS-FET

MOSFET

Metal Oxide Semiconductor


Field Effect Transistor

The MOSFET, or Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, is by far the


most common field effect transistor in both digital and analog circuits (The 'Metal'
in the name is an anachronism from early chips where gates were metal; modern
chips use polysilicon gates, but are still called MOSFETs).
The MOSFET is composed of a channel of n-type or p-type semiconductor material
and is accordingly called an NMOSFET or a PMOSFET. Usually the
semiconductor of choice is silicon.
A MOSFET is a switch with no moving parts that can be turned on and off a a very
fast rate.

26

MOS-FET

SOURCE (S) and DRAIN (D) are connected with a flexible tube.
There is NO flow of water between the GATE (G) and the other two
connections.
This model shows that the SOURCE (S) Collector and DRAIN (D) are fully
identical.
When the voltage pressure on the GATE (G) connection increases, the
flexible hose between the DRAIN (D) and SOURCE (S) is compressed.
Result will be a reduction of water flow from DRAIN (D) to SOURCE (S)
.
With many FETs the DRAIN and SOURCE are allowed to be reversed.
Note: The design of a transistor allows it to function as an amplifier or a
switch. This is accomplished by using a small amount of voltage to control a
gate on a much larger supply of electricity, much like turning a valve to
control a supply of water.

27

MOS-FET

The PM-1000 AC controller uses solid state MOSFET switches


arranged in banks to create the 3 phase supply. These switch about
7000 times per second, making operation very smooth.

Lets take a closer look at the PWM inverter, and discuss some of basic
principles.
Inverter principle number 1 A device that changes the battery DC current
into alternating current is generally called Inverter.
The inverter is comprised of two sections;
1.) Capacitor bank
2.) The Inverter section that changes the DC current to AC current.
So when we call a variable frequency drive an inverter, this is technically
incorrect

The output of a PWM type inverter is both variable frequency and variable
voltage. This can be simply explained by what is called a V/f pattern. The
V/f pattern sets up a ratio of output voltage to output frequency. You will
see a little later that it is very important to keep this ratio constant for
optimum motor performance. What this shows me is at 60Hz the output
voltage will be 460V and at 1.5Hz the output voltage will be 23V.
Now this question probably comes to mind. A little while ago we said that
the DC bus of the PWM inverter was at a fixed level. So how does the
inverter vary the output voltage when the DC bus is fixed ?
Well this leads to our next topic, pulse width modulation.

38

PWM Inverter Principle No 4


How the output voltage changes if the DC bus

Ton

= 50%

The output voltage is changed


by modulating the width of the
output pulses that make up the
output waveform
The higher the ratio of on time
as compared to the switching
time, the higher the voltage
This method is called Pulse
Width Modulation

Ton: Turn on time of the transistor


Tc: Switching time

To change the output voltage of the inverter when the pulse amplitude is
fixed, the width of the pulse must be adjusted
( or modulated). The
higher the ratio of turn on time as compared to the switching time of the
transistor, the higher the resultant voltage will be. This method is called
pulse width modulation.

investigation, we can see that the V/f ratio at 60Hz is about 7.67 and the
ratio at 1.5Hz is about 15.3. This does not look constant to me! Lets look at

A constant motor flux
produces a constant
torque

This leads to the optimum amount of motor torque


per amp

So the voltage and frequency ratios at 1.5Hz and 60Hz are basically the
same if you compare the voltage used for producing torque. This constant
voltage will produce a constant motor flux in the motor throughout the speed
range and

PWM Inverter Principle No 6


Effects of improper V/f ratio
High V/f ratio results in

Low V/f ratio results in


Reduced motor flux
which leads to reduced
motor torque
Motor starving for
voltage which leads to
high current

Over saturation
condition that leads to
high current but no
more torque production
Motor overheating

If the V/f pattern is set improperly, the performance of the motor will suffer.
If the V/f ratio is set too low;
The motor flux will be reduced which will lead to a reduction of motor
torque. This can lead to problems starting the motor or running at low
speeds. As well as sluggish response to load changes.
Low voltage to the motor will also cause higher than normal current draw.
This condition may lead to motor overheating or inverter overload faults.

Caution when working on the inverters

Typical items to be aware of when working


with DC to AC Inverters!!!!!!!!
Go to next slide.

The Pump and Traction Inverters have three possible weak points!

62

Inverters weak points

Inverters weak points


a) 10-line flat cable can be pinched between plastic top cover and heatsink.
b) Incorrect terminal torque on phase connection result in excessive heat or
breakage of PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
c) Incorrect heatsink paste resulting in burned power boards

63

Phases Terminal Torque!!


WARNING Use the correct terminal torque !!

M8 Nut
11.77 1.96 N.m
1.20 0.20 kgf.m
8.68 1.45 lb.ft

In case you over tighten the U, V and or W terminal torque, the following
issue will happen:
Fault code will be displayed on your operator display or even a burned
inverter could occur.
When you over-tighten, the thread-end could break inside the plastic stud,
resulting in bad contact with buss bar.
In the other case the buss-bar W phase will be forced out and the small PCB
(Printed Circuit Board) studs will bent and snap the board.
In these cases you will NOT have any warranty !! Be aware, these are
high costs repairs !!

Over Current to MOS-FET

Typical Over Current Damage to MOSFETs

Punch-through of the FETs .


This is a typical defect caused by over current on the FETs.

Ribbon Cables Pinched

Traction or Hydraulic Pump Inverters


Watch that ribbon cables are not pinched when cover is
installed!!!!!!!!!!!

Be aware there is a chance for the flat cables to be pinched between the
plastic cover and
The base plate heatsink.

Know your forklift Truck


Controlled Rollback Function
When the accelerator pedal is released on a grade, regeneration braking is applied
and the truck goes down slowly.
If the operator leaves the operators seat for approximately 3 seconds and truck
speed is lower than 0.5km/h, motor power is shifted to neutral and the regeneration
braking does not work.
When the motor is overheated, the regeneration braking is restricted and the going
down speed is increased

Controlled roll back with regeneration function


1.Lever regen.
When:(1)Direction lever is in F or R(opposite direction against the truck movement)
(2)Acceleration pedal is ON
(3)Regardless of BRAKE pedal
Regeneration: According to accel. pedal and SUO #22
2.Auto regen
You can select ACCEL. regen or BRAKE regen by SUO #21
