Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

Some positive news!
With a 'New' charger, using my existing codebase, I've been able to achieve ~40A from the EVSE.
The new wattage limit is 8900w (40A @ ~240vAC)

Component protection is showing normal (not triggered... Yet anyway...)

Details of the new charger are:
HW: H35
SW: 0088
ODX: 4007

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

I've ordered another charger.
Figured I'd either prove two units are non-functional, or migrate over and test some theories in getting a charger to work as a slave unit.
This will require Focci or a CP-PP master; but would allow you to gang chargers together for 11, 22, 33 kw... etc.

If you're looking to control the fuel gauge, if it's anything like the newer stuff, I've been using a 1Kohm AD8403, with two of the resistors in parallel, to make a 500ohm variable resistor.

If the simulate question was for me, it's not required
It was included just to mock having 400v applied, as I was bench testing with just a dummy load.

As for the parameters, Haven't looked at your codebase, but many of the ones I have mapped aren't needed.

JLR iBSG (Valeo) - With DBC

While searching for DBC files, I stumbled across this university team using the iBSG from Valeo.
Their DBC seems to indicate that it's a JLR based unit - Likely from the X8578 - F-Pace Mild Hybrid.

They were sponsored by Valeo, so it makes sense the DBC came thru that route.

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

A lot of the values being sent to the charger are similar enough that with the limited data, I end up copying the value into the various CAN messages.
The thing is that some use different scaling. I think that's where most of the copying values originates from.
There may be some back and forth ...

Check your output voltage is above 300v
Sounds like how my unit was acting when I didn’t have a high enough resistance load and a low wattage EVSC wall plug.
After a duration the unit shuts down on low output voltage.
I think the limit is somewhere around 250v

Use the magic bytes from Damien,
The bytes change depending on the generation of chassis,
The Bytes and signaling for the 11kw chargers are for the MLBevo generation, while the 3.6 and 7.2kw chargers are likely based on the MQB generation.

But there may be some crossover or charger firmware ...

That makes sense, I guess they don't care too much on Motor RPM after the start signal, as any loss in motor RPM would immediately kill the power assist, which likely isn't ideal.

In your sketch, some of the ids are in decimal, but notated as hex.
for instance your BEM_05 has a ID of 0x869, but it should be either 869 (decimal) or 0x365 (hex)
