Hi guys,

let say you want to take a 2012 Xu and replace the controller to get better torque (but not power as battery is limiting factor)

I want to try installing a size 4 on a XU that has a stock size 2 to boost torque for a given low end torque until it reach max power that the battery can take

I want to take the original dcf and modify it to the size 4 parameters.

i tought i could just take the stock XU dcf and send it to the size 4 controller  and then update the motor torque anc current to higher value but it generate alot of errors only by sending the Xu dcf to the size 4... any idea?


for fun i just compared the original S and SR dcf and isolated the parameters that have differences:

Maybe something to do with different thermistor ranges or junction temps on the bigger controller?  Are any of the errors temperature-related?

Does the MY12 XU have an encoder like the MY13 S / DS?

Is the chart below the list of "errors" which occur when you try to direct install the MY12 dcf into the size4 controller? (if not could you list this as well)

Several things come to mind having modified my size 6 a bunch.

1) There are "addresses" (PDO's) carrying unique variables to be over written by the MMB at the sevcon level. If these are not present there could be an issue. If they are not addressed the same there could be an issue. You could simply address them correctly to match the size 2 and fill them with blank or "filler" data so they are ignored as well.

2) If it were me, and I have done this, I would take screen captures of every setting, every throttle curve setting, every addressed setting, etc and simply start from the base up on a clean size 4 dcf to make them identical. I would then "commission" the motor if it had an encoder to ensure this was correct. I did this several times when trying to set up a "clean" profile for my brake regen lever install which to back up to / from. This might mean re-addressing variables in your gen 4 if required to match the MY12 XU addresses. It takes a while but is worth the effort for sure.

3) Depending on errors you are getting the DCF might not have all required variables (would have to see the error log to verify) ... I had this a lot when I first used the DCF but later found out my database behind the version I had was not up to date and this was causing the issue. I am not sure if the gen4's you have, the size 2 / 4, have the same version firmware, but there is a chance it is expecting information your gen4 size 2 DCF save doesn't have.

And of course it could be none of these ... I haven't had a need to open my DVT in a while (since I last commissioned the current MY14 SR motor) so my memory is a bit foggy.

This make sense Burton, The motor is ALSO using the SIN/COS encoder.. in fact this is like teh half version of the ME0913 of the 2012 and it only have a stator on one side of the rotor disk.

I have brick one of the size 4 trying to use it with the XU and now i'm trying the famous backdoor command to get it back to work like i already succeded in the past.  Personally to make a base DCF file i use WINMERGE to compare multiple DCF and then isolate the differenced and keep the common program lines. what is difficult is to convert every wanted HEX value to DEC  and also use the scaling value to calculate real value.. it take time but it worked for me when i made a DCF for the 2012 SR version and the 75-7 at 66V

btw do you have a link to the 2013 Zero schematic? i have to convert my 2012 powertrain to 2013 with a ZF11.4 and new MBB and DC-DC but the wiring and schematics are not available.

You can Pm me
