Thunderstruck VCU
The Thunderstruck Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) converts analog throttle and brake inputs into CAN messages to control either a Nissan Leaf or a UQM PowerPhase® Inverter.
Thunderstruck VCU
The VCU has the following required interfaces:
• 12V Power, normally connected to an EV accessory battery through the Keyswitch.
• CAN, used to communicate between the VCU and Inverter.
• Throttle, which connects to a Hall or resistive throttle and determines the requested torque.
The VCU has the following optional interfaces:
• Precharge Control to enable a precharge relay.
• Contactor Control to enable the main contactor.
• Forward/Reverse (or Forward/Reverse/Neutral) input, to determine the direction of motor rotation for direct drive systems.
• Brake Switch, to request regeneration when the brake is applied.
• Brake Pressure Transducer, which can request variable amount of regeneration depending on brake pedal pressure.
• Brake Light output to turn the brake light on when there is braking regeneration.
• DC/DC Converter Control, which can control a DC/DC converter.
A serial port interface is used for configuration and debugging, but is not required for normal operation
Inverter HV protection and serial cable are included.
