Throttle Application
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Throttle application allows the user to implement a simple throttle control directly on the emDrive. Input devices can be connected directly to the emDrive and mapped to the throttle application. The application calculates the desired output based on these inputs and passes it to motor control. The output can be used as either a torque input or a speed input in the motor controller, depending on which CANopen object the output is mapped to. No further configuration is needed to switch the application from one output mode to the other.
1.2 Features
The Throttle application supports the following features:
- Throttle Module
Functionality: Calculates the desired output based on mapped input and configuration parameters.
Capabilities: Can be configured as unidirectional or bidirectional. - Brake Module
Functionality: Calculates the desired brake torque based on mapped input and configuration parameters.
Capabilities: Unidirectional only, with brake torque always in the opposite direction to motor rotation.If the desired output is speed, the brake should be disabled.
- Pump Control Module
Functionality: Controls the pump, turning it on or off depending on motor and drive temperature. - Pre-charge Module
Functionality: Manages the pre-charge process at startup. - DC-DC Turn on Delay Module
Functionality: Delays the activation of the DC-DC converter after startup to ensure controlled power application. - SOC Monitoring Module
Functionality: Monitors the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery.
Capabilities: Reduces the maximum allowed torque when SOC is below a specified threshold.Requires an external Battery Management System (BMS) to operate correctly.
- Charging Detection Module
Functionality: Detects when the battery is charging and disables the drive during the charging process. - Input Mapping
Functionality: Allows certain inputs to the throttle application to be mapped to CAN objects on the emDrive.
All throttle application features can be independently enabled or disabled (except the brake module, which requires the throttle module to be enabled). This is done by setting the Thr1_Enable CAN objects of the throttle application as detailed in Table 1.

2. Input and Output mapping
Input and output mapping for the Throttle application is managed using the Thr1_Obj
object, which stores the CANOpen indexes and subindexes of the inputs and outputs mapped to the Throttle application variables. You can remap any variable to a different input by writing the CANOpen index and subindex of the new input to the corresponding Thr1_Obj
sub-object.
The following table outlines the object mapping parameters for the Throttle application. Each object in the table represents a specific function or control point within the application, and the corresponding CANOpen index and subindex define where these objects are located in the CANOpen network. By configuring these parameters, users can tailor the Throttle application to their specific needs, ensuring precise control and monitoring of various functions.
By correctly configuring these object mappings, users can ensure that the Throttle application communicates accurately with the various inputs and outputs connected to the emDrive. This flexibility allows for precise control of throttle, brake, pump, and other critical functions, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the system.

2.1 Examples
2.1.1. Configuring an object to be used in in the application (e.g. for Thr1_Obj__ThrottleVoltage
)
All mapping of object to the application are done in the same way. For relays (digital outputs), switches (digital inputs), torque & velocity reference,... The main point is to show that you need to combine index and subindex of the object you want to use in your throttle application.
For example, to map the throttle voltage input to the emDrive analog input 1 (which has a CANOpen object HW_AIN_AIN1
with index 0x3090
and subindex 0x01
as shown in the picture bellow), you would write 0x309001
to Thr1_Obj__ThrottleVoltage
.
To read if the correct value is written you need to use the HEX value (black circle).
3. How to Use Each Module
3.1 Initial Setup Assumptions
This document assumes that the angle sensor calibration has already been completed by the user, and that all other emDrive parameters for the motor and regulation have been properly configured. Before using any module we have to enable the CANOpen object Thr1_enable
with index 0x4010
and subindex 0x00
, for that we have to write 1 to the "value" field.
4010 - Thr1_enable = 1
3.2 Pre-charge Module
The Pre-charge module limits the charging current of the emDrive capacitors by activating the pre-charge relay switch before the main relay switch is engaged. The pre-charge relay switch has a resistor connected in series, which limits the current during the capacitor charging phase.
Note that the main and pre-charge relay switches are not integrated within the emDrive and must be provided externally. For more details, refer to section 5.4 of the EmDrive user manual.
For readability and clarity, the following abbreviations are used:
- The pre-charge relay switch refers to
Thr1_Obj__PrechargeRelayEnableDO
- The main relay switch refers to
Thr1_Obj__MainRelayEnableDP
The sequence begins with the activation of the pre-charge relay switch. After the duration specified by the Thr1_Precharge__PrechargeTime
parameter (default is 2 seconds), the drive voltage is checked. If the voltage does not exceed the threshold set by the Thr1_Precharge__MinDC_Voltage
parameter, an error state is reported. If the voltage is above this threshold, the main relay switch is activated. Finally, after the time specified by the Thr1_Precharge__DelayBeforePrechargeOff
parameter has elapsed, the pre-charge relay switch is turned off, and the run state is set to true, activating the throttle and brake functionality. Additionally, we have a diagram illustrating the above functionality. It is assumed that after the pre-charge time, the DC voltage exceeds the set threshold, thus no error state is encountered.
To set this module you have to set all of the objects in table 3 and also use the correct mapping for Thr1_Obj__PrechargeRelayEnableDO
and Thr1_Obj__MainRelayEnableDP
.

You can also verify whether the pre-charge completed successfully or if an error occurred using the pre-charged module signals.

Thr1_Precharge__Err | 0x4016 | 0x05 | Set to 1 if there was an error during pre-charge | bit |
The module also allows configuration of the precharge module to compare the DC link voltage measured on the inverter with the actual voltage of the battery. It will turn on the main relay only when the voltage difference is less than the threshold specified by Thr1_Precharge__AllowedVoltageDifference
(this needs to happen before the Thr1_Precharge__PrechargeTime
). An example of this configuration can be found under "Pre-charge Example 2".
3.2.1 Examples
- Pre-charge example 1
Description:
In this example, we will use the precharge module. For this, we need two relays: the main relay and the precharge relay. We also need to determine the voltage threshold for activating the main relay and the correct timings, which are described in Section 3.2.
Relay Connections
Main Relay: Connected to HW_LS1 = 0x30A0 0x02
Precharge Relay: Connected to HW_LS2 = 0x30A1 0x02
Voltage Measurement
The voltage will be measured using the inverter, which is the standard method (0x3101 0x07 Udc).
Timings
Precharge Time: 2 seconds
Time After Precharge Relay Turns Off: 0.5 seconds
Voltage Threshold
The voltage threshold for activating the main relay is 24V.
Objects to set:
-
- Enable Throttle Application:
0x4010 - Thr1_enable = 1
- Enable the Precharge Module:
Use the throttle general object0x4011 Thr1_Gen
to enable the proper module.0x4011 0x06 Precharge = 1
- Map Objects to the Application:
Choose the proper digital outputs to control the main relay and precharge relay:
e.g:
As per description we have the main relay connected to HW_LS1 and the precharge relay connected to HW_LS2. The object indexes are as follows:HW_LS1 = 0x30A0 0x02
HW_LS2 = 0x30A1 0x02
We set the following:0x4012 0x14 MainRelayEnableDO = 0x30A002
0x4012 0x15 PrechargeRelayEnableDO = 0x30A102
Voltage that is measured can be set but it is recommended to use default (0x3101 0x07 Udc
), to change the object use the following:0x4012 0x16 PrechargeDC_Voltage = 0x310107
- Enable Throttle Application:
- Configure the Precharge Module:
Set the precharge time:0x4016 0x01 PrechargeTime = 2
Set the time after the precharge relay is turned off:0x4016 0x02 DelayBeforePrechargeOff = 0.5
Set the minimum voltage that must be present:0x4016 0x03 MinDC_Voltage = 24
- Save and Reset:
Save the settings (Ctrl+S) and perform a reset.
Switch to operational mode.
Test
Enable auto start if everything works correctly (inverter will always go to operational mode after reset).0x3000 0x03 AutoStart = 1
- Pre-charge example 2
Description:
In this example, we will use the precharge module, to enable the min relay when the difference between the DC - link on the inverter and the battery voltage is les then the threshold set in Thr1_Precharge__AllowedVoltageDifference
For this example, you need to first finish the Pre-charge example 1 and then continue with the following steps.
First you need to use the PDOs to get the value of the battery and map it to one of the 0x3020 - General_Purpose
objects.
In this example the voltage value of the battery is sent to 0x3020 0x09 - General_Purpose__gen1_32bit
.
First you need to map the object where the value if the battery is stored:0x4012 0x17 - PrechargeBatteryVoltage = 0x302009
Next you need to set allowed difference between DC-link that is measured on the inverter and the voltage of the battery.
Lets say that the voltage difference can be 10V.0x4016 0x04 - AllowedVoltageDifference = 10V
If the actual voltage difference is more than 0x4016 0x04 - AllowedVoltageDifference = 10V
, after the period specified in Thr1_Precharge__PrechargeTime
an error is raised.
3.3 Throttle module
The throttle module is responsible for calculating the desired output torque based on the given input voltage. It provides features such as short to ground and short to power supply detection, reading forward and reverse switches, rate-limiting the output, and disabling the throttle when the brake is active. Below is a detailed guide on the state diagram and parameter settings for the throttle module.

3.3.1 State Diagram
The state diagram for the throttle module consists of several states and transitions, ensuring the correct operation and safety of the system.
Startup State
- Buzzer Activation: Upon system start, the buzzer is activated if an external buzzer is connected.
- Wait Time: The system waits for the duration specified by the parameter Thr1_Timing__WaitAfterStart to complete the startup.
- Error Check: If an error is detected during startup, the system transitions directly to the Error State.
Operational State
- Buzzer Deactivation: The buzzer is disabled upon entering the operational state.
- RPM Check: The system waits for the RPM to drop to 0, if it is not already there.
- Bridge Disable: The bridge is disabled, and the system waits for the throttle to be set to zero.
Idle State
- Idle Mode: The system enters the Idle State, waiting for the input to move out of the zero position.
Driving State
- Throttle Enabled: If the input moves out of the zero position and the throttle is enabled, the system transitions to the Driving State.
- Bridge Enable: The bridge is enabled, and the output is forwarded to motor control.
WaitForNeutral State
- Throttle Disabled: If the throttle is disabled and the output moves out of the zero position, the system returns to the WaitForNeutral State.
WaitForSpeedDrop State
- Output Set to 0: When the throttle is disabled during the Driving State (either due to Thr1_Enable__Throttle being set to 0, input within the disable dead band, or outside allowed values), the system enters the WaitForSpeedDrop State.
- RPM Check: The output is set to 0, but the bridge remains enabled until the RPM drops below the value specified by Thr1_Brake__Full_RPM.
- Wait Time: The system waits for the time configured in Thr1_Timing__WaitBeforeBridgeDisable.
- State Transition: The state changes to Idle or WaitForNeutral based on whether the input is at zero or not.
Charging State
- RPM Drop: If charging is detected during the operational state, the system waits for the RPM to drop.
- Bridge Disable: The system moves to the Charging State, where the bridge is disabled.
- Return to Operational: When charging is no longer detected, the system returns to the operational state.
Error State
- Error Detection: If an error is detected in any state, the system transitions to the Error State.
- Bridge Disable: The bridge is disabled, and the buzzer is activated.
- RPM Check: In case of an error during the operational state, the system waits for the RPM to drop before disabling the bridge.
- Priority to Error State: If both charging and an error are detected simultaneously, the system prioritizes transitioning to the Error State.
- System Reset: There is no automatic recovery from the Error State; the system must be manually reset.
3.3.2 Input to Output Transformation
The input to output transformation converts the input voltage of the analog input to output torque, which is forwarded to motor control if the throttle is enabled. The basic transformation is illustrated in the graph below.
- Thr1_Throttle__ZeroValue: Defines the zero point of the input.
- Thr1_Throttle__ZeroDeadBand: Defines the dead band around the zero point. While the input voltage is within this dead band, the output remains zero.
- Thr1_Throttle__MinInput: Minimum valid input voltage.
- Thr1_Throttle__MaxInput: Maximum valid input voltage.
- Thr1_Throttle__OutFullPositive: Maximum positive output torque.
- Thr1_Throttle__OutFullNegative: Maximum negative output torque.
- Thr1_Throttle__NonValidMin: Minimum input voltage considered valid.
- Thr1_Throttle__NonValidMax: Maximum input voltage considered valid.
The transformation includes the following regions:
-
Zero Dead Band:
- Defined by
Thr1_Throttle__ZeroValue
andThr1_Throttle__ZeroDeadBand
. - Output remains zero when input voltage is within the dead band.
- Defined by
-
Positive Torque Region:
- From the end of the dead band to
Thr1_Throttle__MaxInput
, the output rises in the positive direction from 0 toThr1_Throttle__OutFullPositive
. - Output is calculated as , where is the normalized output (0 at 0 and 1 at
Thr1_Throttle__OutFullPositive
), is the normalized input (0 at the edge of the dead band and 1 atThr1_Throttle__MaxInput
), and is the parameterThr1_Throttle__Progressive
, which ranges between 0.3 and 3. The default value for is 1, indicating a linear growth of output torque.
- From the end of the dead band to
-
Negative Torque Region:
- From the end of the dead band to
Thr1_Throttle__MinInput
, the output falls in the negative direction. - Output is calculated as y=−∣x∣a
- From the end of the dead band to
-
Constant Max Torque Region:
- Between
Thr1_Throttle__MaxInput
andThr1_Throttle__NonValidMax
, the output remains at maximum positive torque. - Between
Thr1_Throttle__MinInput
andThr1_Throttle__NonValidMin
, the output remains at maximum negative torque. - If the input value increases beyond
Thr1_Throttle__NonValidMax
or decreases beyondThr1_Throttle__NonValidMin
, the output torque is set to 0 and the throttle module enters the error state.
- Between
This transformation ensures that the throttle application accurately converts the input voltage into the appropriate output torque for motor control, with safeguards in place to handle invalid input values and prevent unintended behaviour.
3.3.3 Other throttle module functions
Enable dead band
Enable Dead Band functions similarly to Zero Dead Band. However, instead of setting the throttle output to 0, it disables the driver bridge when the input is less than a specified distance from the zero point. This distance is determined by the Enable Dead Band threshold. To disable Enable Dead Band, set its value to 0.
Ensure this threshold is always smaller than the Zero Dead Band threshold to prevent unusual behaviour.
Disable at brake
When the parameter 0x4013 0x0E DissableAtBrake
is set to 1, the throttle module output is set to zero whenever the brake is active. This means that as soon as the brake is applied, the EmDrive system will start braking immediately, regardless of the throttle input.
When the parameter 0x4013 0x0E DissableAtBrake
is set to 0, the throttle and brake outputs are combined before being sent to motor control. In this case, the EmDrive system will only start braking if the brake output is greater than the throttle output.
Rate limit
The rate limit controls how quickly the output can change in response to changes in the input (Higher the number, faster the change). This is determined by the parameter 0x4013 0x0A RateLimit
.
When the input changes from 0 to 1 (works on normed value), the output will change from 0 to 1 in 1 / RateLimit
seconds.
Output of throttle at zero value
If the application needs a specific output (not zero) to be set at zero position of a potentiometer 0x4013 0x01 ZeroValue
, the object 0x4013 0x0D OutZero
can be set to achieve this functionality. This will be presented in Throttle example 4.
With this feature the 0x4013 - Thr1_Throttle__EnableDeadBand
, should be disabled
3.3.4 Examples
- Throttle example 1
Description:
Monodirectional throttle using only one analog input.
In this example, we will use a potentiometer as our throttle input. Our goal is to control the motor in velocity mode, ranging from 0 to 100 RPM.
Throttle Input Details
Potentiometer: Used as the throttle input. Connected to AIN3 = 0x3090 0x03
Voltage and RPM Control
Error Condition: If the voltage from the potentiometer is lower than 0.2V or higher than 4.8V, an error will occur (indicating a possible short or broken connection).
0 RPM: At 0.5V, the motor should run at 0 RPM.
100 RPM: At 4.5V, the motor should run at the maximum speed of 100 RPM.
Objects to set:
-
- Enable Throttle Application:
0x4010 - Thr1_enable = 1
- Enable the Throttle Module:
Use the throttle general object0x4011 Thr1_Gen
to enable the proper module.0x4011
0x030x01 Throtle = 1 - Map Objects to the Application:
Choose the reference value to control (velocity or torque) and map analog/digital inputs and outputs.
To control velocity:0x4012 0x06 TargetObj = 0x301005
To control torque:0x4012 0x06 TargetObj = 0x301004
Set the control mode (0 for torque, 1 for velocity):0x3100 0x01 ControlMode = 0 or 1
Define the analog throttle input (potentiometer on AIN3):0x4012 0x03 ThrottleVoltage = 0x309003
- Configure the Throttle Module:
Set the throttle voltage parameters as explained in Section 4.2:0x4013 0x01 ZeroValue = 0.5
0x4013 0x04 MaxInput = 4.5
0x4013 0x05 MinInput = 0.5
0x4013 0x06 NonValidMax = 4.8
0x4013 0x07 NonValidMin = 0.2

- Enable Throttle Application:
- Throttle example 2
Description:
In this example, we will use the same potentiometer as in Throttle Example 1. The main difference is that this setup allows for bidirectional control of the throttle. Here’s how it works:
- At 2.5V, the motor will be at 0 RPM.
- At 4.5V, the motor will run at 100 RPM.
- At 0.5V, the motor will run at -100 RPM (in reverse).
This setup enables you to control the motor speed and direction using a single analog input.

- Same as example "Throttle example 1"
- Configure the Throttle Module:
Set the throttle voltage parameters as explained in Section 4.2:0x4013 0x01 ZeroValue = 2.5
0x4013 0x04 MaxInput = 4.5
0x4013 0x05 MinInput = 0.5
0x4013 0x06 NonValidMax = 4.8
0x4013 0x07 NonValidMin = 0.2
Set the maximum and minimum TorqueRef or VelocityRef:
In this example we will use max = 100rpm and min = -100rpm0x4013 0x0B OutFullPositive = 100
0x4013 0x0C OutFullNegative = -100
Additionaly we have to setIsNegativeBrake
0x4013 0x11 IsNegativeBrake = 0
- Same as example "Throttle example 1"
- Throttle example 3
Description:
In this example, we will use the same potentiometer as in Throttle Example 1, along with two additional digital inputs to control the motor's direction.
Digital input 1 = 0x30B0 0x01 DIN1 - enable/disable positive throttle
Digital input 2 = 0x30B0 0x02 DIN2 - enable/disable negative throttle.
Objects to set:
-
- Same as example "Throttle example 1"
- Same as example "Throttle example 1"
- Same as example "Throttle example 1"
- Same as example "Throttle example 1"
Additionally, we only need to map digital input objects for enabling forward/reverse throttle.
e.g.
We will use object0x30B0 0x01 - DIN1
to enable/disable positive throttle.
We will use object0x30B0 0x02 - DIN2
to enable/disable negative throttle.
So we need to set:0x4012 0x04 ThrottleFWD_Dlvalue = 0x30b001
0x4012 0x05 ThrottleREW_Dlvalue = 0x30b002
If DIN1 and DIN2 are the same value, the throttle will not work. Only one of them can be 1 and the other 0.
Currently the inverter does not support using only one physical input (e.g switch) to change direction. There must be two of them!
Additionaly we have to setIsNegativeBrake
0x4013 0x11 IsNegativeBrake = 0
- Same as example "Throttle example 1"
- Throttle example 4
Description:
In this example, we will need a working "Throttle example 1", the main difference will be that at 0.5V we want 100RPM and then we want to ramp up do the max value of 200 RPM.
We also want to have an ignition switch (enable switch). Which will be connected to 0x30B0 0x01 - DIN1
We need to set the OutFullPositive = MAX desired RPM - OutZero
0x4013 0x0B - OutFullPositive = 100
0x4013 0x0D - OutZero = 100
With these settings you can try the application, where you will see that you can never disable the motor. If you go to the min position of the potentiometer the motor will spin with 100 RPM.
Setting the switch:
Currently there is a workaround to have an ignition switch which will be changed in the future official release.
To get the ignition switch working we need to map the 0x30B0 0x01 - DIN1
to ThrottleFWD_Dlvalue
0x4012 0x04 - ThrottleFWD_Dlvalue = 0x30B001
0x4012 0x05 - ThrottleREW_Dlvalue = 0x302001
This is the workaround we map the 0x3020 0x01 - gen1_8bit
to the throttle application. This value shall be always at default = 0.
If the throttle potentiometer is in any position other than at 0 e.g. at motor spins at 140RPM and you disable the ignition switch, the motor will stop spinning. But if you then start ignition again it will go directly to the rpm that are set with throttle (in this example back to 140RPM). You need to put the throttle to min.
With this workaround only monodirectional throttle + ignition will work. In the future FW release, there will be a new object for ignition/enable and it will work also in bidirectional throttle.
The protection will also be implemented so that it does not spin out of control.
3.4. Brake module
The brake module implements the brake function within the throttle application, operating similarly to the throttle module but with a crucial difference: it always outputs torque in the opposite direction of the current rotation and supports only monodirectional braking. The brake can be assigned to a different analog input or share the same analog input as the throttle module, beneficial for configurations where monodirectional throttle is used. In such cases, one direction from the zero point can manage throttle control while the other handles brake control.

3.4.1 Input to Output Transformation
The input to output transformation functions in a similar manner to the input-output transformation of the throttle module. A typical example of this transformation is illustrated in the picture below.
The type of slope between the end of the zero dead band and Thr1_Brake__MaxInput
is determined by the parameter Thr1_Brake__Progressive
, similar to how it is for the throttle module. Additionally, the brake module can be configured to increase brake torque when the input decreases. This can be achieved by setting the parameter Thr1_Brake__MaxInput
to a value smaller than Thr1_Brake__ZeroValue
. The resulting input to output transformation for this configuration is illustrated in the picture below.
For both modes, it is essential to configure the parameters Thr1_Brake__NonValidMax
and Thr1_Brake__NonValidMin
. Failing to do so will result in incorrect operation of the short to ground and short to power supply error detection.
3.4.2 Examples
To use the brake module, you first need to configure the throttle module and ensure it works as expected.
- Brake example 1
Description:
Monodirectional throttle & brake using only one analog input.
In this example, a potentiometer is used to adjust voltage from 0V to 5V. The operational range is 0.2V to 4.8V. If the voltage goes outside this range, an error occurs.
Throttle and Brake Operation
Neutral Position: At 2.5V, the motor is in neutral.
Increasing Voltage: Raising the voltage above 2.5V speeds up the motor.
Decreasing Voltage: Lowering the voltage below 2.5V brakes the motor.
Before proceeding with this example, ensure you have completed and prepared a working setup of "Throttle Example 1" with torque control, not velocity. To achieve this, configure the following settings:
- Set Target Object:
0x4012 0x06 TargetObj = 0x301004
- Set Control Mode:
0x3100 0x01 ControlMode = 0
Objects to set:
- Enable Throttle Application:
0x4010 - Thr1_enable = 1
- Enable the Throttle & Brake Module:
0x4011 0x03 Throtle = 1
0x4011 0x04 Brake = 1
- Map Objects to the Application:
Torque control0x4012 0x06 TargetObj = 0x301004
Check that torque mode is active if not set it with control mode = 0:0x3100 0x01 ControlMode = 0
Define the analog throttle input (e.g., potentiometer on AIN3):0x4012 0x03 ThrotleVoltage = 0x309003
Define the analog brake input (same as ThrotleVoltage in this example):0x4012 0x12 BrakeVoltage = 0x309003
- Configure the Throttle Module:
Set the throttle voltage parameters as explained in Section 4.2:0x4013 0x01 ZeroValue = 2.5
0x4013 0x04 MaxInput = 4.5
0x4013 0x05 MinInput = 0.5
0x4013 0x06 NonValidMax = 4.8
0x4013 0x07 NonValidMin = 0.2
Set the maximum and minimum TorqueRef
In this example we will use max = 10Nm and min = 0Nm (if there is no load) - BIDIRECTIONAL throttle must be dissabled (one of these must be 0) for using only one analog input as throttle and brake.0x4013 0x05 OutFullPositive = 10
0x4013 0x05 OutFullNegative = 0
- Configure the Brake Module:
Set the brake voltage parameters:0x4014 0x01 ZeroValue = 2.5
0x4014 0x04 MaxInput = 0.5
0x4014 0x05 NonValidMax = 4.8
0x4014 0x06 NonValidMin = 0.2
0x4014 0x09 OutFull = 10
- Save and Reset:
Save the settings (Ctrl+S) and perform a reset.
Switch to operational mode.
Test
Enable auto start if everything works correctly (inverter will always go to operational mode after reset).0x3000 0x03 AutoStart = 1
- Brake example 2
Description:
In this example, we will use two analog inputs to control the motor:
- Analog Input 1: Controls the throttle (motor speed).
- Analog Input 2: Controls the brake.
This setup allows you to manage both the acceleration and deceleration of the motor independently using separate analog inputs.
Objects to set:
- Same as "Brake example 1"
- Same as "Brake example 1"
- Map Objects to the Application:

Define the analog brake input (e.g., potentiometer AIN2):0x4012 0x12 BrakeVoltage = 0x309002
- Configure the Throttle Module:

0x4014 0x09 OutFull = 10
- Same as "Brake example 1"
3.5. Pump control module
The Pump Control Module manages the operation of two pumps in the system: the main pump and the cooling pump.
- The main pump is activated whenever the throttle application is in the run state or when the cooling pump is active.
- The cooling pump is regulated by a simple hysteresis controller.
Activation: The cooling pump turns on if the temperature exceeds the threshold set in the Thr1_Pump__OnTemperature
parameter.
Deactivation: The cooling pump turns off if the temperature drops below the threshold set in the Thr1_Pump__OffTemperature
parameter.

In this example we will control two pumps: main pump and cooling pump.
Main pump on LS3 0x30A2 0x02 Value
Cooling pump on LS4 0x30A3 0x02 Value
Temperature at which we start the pump = 50 °C
Temperature at which we stop the pump = 60 °C
Objects to set:
- Enable Throttle Application:
0x4010 - Thr1_enable = 1
- Enable the Pump Module:
0x4011 0x05 Pump = 1

0x4012 0x0D CoolingInputTemperature1 = 0x31CE00
0x4012 0x0E CoolingInputTemperature2 = 0x31010A
Next we need to map the digital outputs where our pumps are connected to. In this example we will use:
Main pump on LS30x30A2 0x02 Value
Cooling pump on LS40x30A3 0x02 Value
0x4012 0x0B MainPumpEnableDO = 0x30A202

3.7. SOC monitoring and charging detection module
The SOC (State of Charge) monitoring module and the charging detection module are implemented together due to their similarities. However, both modules can be enabled and disabled independently. SOC monitoring requires a Battery Management System (BMS) to detect SOC. Note that the BMS is not included in the emDrive. If SOC monitoring is needed, an independent BMS must be connected to the CAN bus.
3.7.1 SOC Monitoring Module
The SOC monitoring module tracks the SOC state as reported by the BMS.
-
Behaviour:
- If SOC drops below the level specified by the parameter
Thr1_Bat__StartLimitingSOC
, the module will start limiting the maximum output torque. - If SOC falls below the level specified by
Thr1_Bat__EndLimitingSOC
, the maximum torque output will be set to the value given inThr1_Bat__EndLimitingThrottleOut
. - When SOC is between
Thr1_Bat__StartLimitingSOC
andThr1_Bat__EndLimitingSOC
, the maximum torque is linearly reduced. The reduction goes from the maximum torque (as defined in the throttle module) atThr1_Bat__StartLimitingSOC
to the torque defined inThr1_Bat__EndLimitingThrottleOut
atThr1_Bat__EndLimitingSOC
.
- If SOC drops below the level specified by the parameter
-
Throttle Limiting Speed:
- Controlled by the parameter
Thr1_Bat__ThrottleLimitRamp
. - The limiting speed functions similarly to rate limiting in the throttle and brake modules, where throttle limiting can range from 0 to 1 in
1/Thr1_Bat__ThrottleLimitRamp
seconds.
- Controlled by the parameter
3.7.2 Charging detection Module
The charging detection module monitors whether the battery is being charged and reports this status to the throttle module.
- Behaviour::
- If a BMS is present, the module queries the BMS to check if the battery is currently being charged.
- Alternatively, the module can observe the state of the input mapped to the parameter
Thr1_Obj__ChargingDetectDIvalue
:- If the value is 1, the battery is considered to be charging.
- If the value is 0, the battery is considered to be not charging.
This setup allows for accurate monitoring and management of the battery's state of charge and charging status, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

3.7.4 Examples
- SOC example 1
Description:
In this example we first need a working example of Throttle module to control torque. (It is also possible to control velocity.)
Next we need the following values:
- Battery (BMS) calie/present
- SOC in percent
To achive this we can use the PDOs to get the values - in this example we will assume that we get the upper values via CAN and we set the values to our 0x2051 Customer_Data_16bit__Value. How to configure the PDOs refer to the user manual section 9.4-Data transfer – Process Data Object (PDO).
Battery (BMS) calie/present needs to be higher than 0, otherwise inverter thinks there is no BMS.
0x2051 0x01 Customer_Data_16bit__Value1 = Battery (BMS) calie/present (needs to be higher than 0)
0x2051 0x02 Customer_Data_16bit__Value2 = SOC in percent
We will start limiting the output when the battery has SOC = 10%
We will limit the output with a ramp of value 0.01 until we reach SOC = 5%, after which we stay at value 10Nm (in case of velocity control the unit of this value will be in PRM - 10RPM).
