From the Manufacturer:


---------------------------
---------------------------


Version SWRP 15, 6 December, 2011
The PM100DX family has a hardware over-voltage detect threshold at 420V +/-5V or so.  This is a non-maskable hardware limit, not a parameter, and you can’t change it.
'''[http://www.neweagle.net/support/wiki/docs/Rinehart/SWRP_15_Firmware_Release_Notes_(2).pdf Click here]''' to download the Firmware release notes and download the software tools.
 
The 360V nominal rating is for the purpose of statistical tolerance against single-event burnout of IGBTs when there is a large population of units in the field. This is a shortcoming of Silicon IGBTs and affects the FIT rate, but at very low numbers. You need to have less than 50% of the breakdown voltage across an IGBT when it is struck by a cosmic ray or it can fail by forming a conducting channel where the particle went through the Silicon chip and the follow-on current will melt the Si in that local area. An Infineon 650V IGBT3 has actual breakdown at 720V +/-5V, hence the 50% of 720 = 360V.
 
'''Features:'''
The drive will operate at full rating up to 420VDC without technical issues, but the over-volt fault detector is pretty fast so typical noise and ripple on the DC Link means you can’t go above 405V or a tad higher without getting occasional “nuisance” fault trips.
* Added new motor types
* Added Resolver PWM Delay Command and Gamma Adjust GUI Command (CAN Parameter Addresses 11 and 12 respectively) to be updated through CAN.
Also note that after half a mile the battery voltage will drop to the nominal plateau, and under any kind of load it will droop.  There may be some issues tuning the DC Bus regen override feature to avoid nuisance over-voltage faults as there isn’t much headroom left – but I think this is solvable.
* Added a new parameter, Torque Rate Limit (CAN Parameter Address 167) that controls the ramp rate for the torque command
* Updated the procedure on how EEPROM parameters are programmed and take effect when CAN Command message is used to program EEPROM parameters.
The only physical difference DX –> DXR is a higher value current sensor, there are no other physical differences.
* Added a new parameter, Inverter Enable Lockout bit to CAN broadcast message ID 0x0AA, Byte 6, BIT 7, (both byte and bit numbers start with 0).
* Improved the calculation of speed and table look ups by allowing a larger range values to be accepted.
* Reduced motor defluxing delay by 1 second for all PM motors. This allows a faster response from the time when the inverter is actually enabled.
* Added a new CAN message 0x0AE to provide the firmware information that includes date code, firmware release number, etc.

Product Summary

The Cascadia Motion Systems (RMS) AC Traction Controllers are designed for on-road and off-road Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric (HEV) applications.

The PM-Series and RM-Series families are typically the lightest and smallest inverters for their power due to their high heat flux thermal design approach. The company has extensive experience in automotive, commercial vehicles, motorsports and military vehicle traction applications.

How to Set Up an RMS Inverter

Here is an excellent guide to getting started with an RMS inverter.

Getting Started Guide

Cascadia releases firmware updates often.

Installing the latest firmware version

A set-up GUI must be installed and connected to a PC serial port.

Using the GUI, you can set up your motor and controller

Reinhart offers integration documentation for many popular motors.

Additional User Manuals, CAN specifications and calibration documentation


Installation for Use with a Remy Motor

Step-by-step instructions to installing a Cascadia Motion inverter for use with a Remy motor. This document describes the multiple types of Remy motors and the process to set up the motor type.

Setting up the PM Controller to run with Remy Motors

Both the PM100 and PM150 series inverters use AN6 coolant fittings.

CAN Interface for RMS

MotoHawk CAN Library for RMS PM100

MotoHawk CAN Library for RMS PM100

The MotoHawk library supports RMS release BB2_20111109_14C0.hex. Request more information on the library at sales@neweagle.net. This library and the RMS PM family of inverters integrate well with the New Eagle EV Supervisory Control system and furthermore make a nice EV powertrain combination with one of the supported motors.

CAN Configuration Parameters

New Eagle's Application Engineering team can assist on a consulting or applications contract in the correct settings of the EEPROM setting for successful implementation of the RMS drive. Many of the off-the-shelf settings are made to assist users who directly connect the pedal/brake interface to the inverter.

A more sophisticated (and safer) strategy for EVs is to use a supervisory controller with control over CAN. This is one of the functions of the New Eagle EV Supervisory controller.
