Here Maybe some tips with the CAN-Bus, because I do a lot at work with it I had a lot of issues that i know. - The wiring should be in one line and should not have any stubs. Yes I know the specification allows to have stubs, but in my experience they often make more trouble than anything else. If you need a stub, try staying below 1m. For debugging purposes like PCAN you can allways have longer stubs, as long as you are only reading and not sending anything on the bus over it. - You should also look at the maximum wire length, I recommend staying under 40m. - When CAN-High or CAN-Low on any slave isn't connected properly it can happen that when the can load is low that it works fine and as soon as the load goes higher error telegrams might appear - You can see error telegrams with the PCAN software when you go under trace > rightclick where the messages are > Enable "Log Error Frames" & "Log Error Counter Changes". You can also disable the other ones, so it's easier to see the error frames when there are not thousands of messages - The Termination Resistors (120Ohm) should allways be at the end not somewhere in between. - When everything is off you can check the Termination Resistors by measuring between CAN-High and CAN-Low wire the Ohm. It should be around 60. (120Ohm>1Resistor, 60Ohm>2Resistor, 40Ohm>3Resistors, ...) - There should only be one CAN-Master in the system otherways they can interfier with each other. - In my experience twisted pair isn't really needed mostly we use just flat cables. - It could also be that the BUS is overloaded, this is the only thing, that you can't test with the USB-to-CAN from PEAK. For that you would need the PCAN-Diag 2 or for vehicle purposes PCAN-Diag FD with the J1939 Add-in. With those devices you can see the CAN-High/CAN-Low Voltage levels, how many error frames, how the load is in a bar chart, oscilloscope for the signals, etc. - When on a slave CAN-HIgh/CAN-Low is swapped or has any issues then the slave automatically disables it's transceiver. So it doesn't interfier with the others in the bus. - So all in all if there are no error frames on the CAN-Bus and it's never overloaded, then there aren't any issues with the wiring.

Just mentioned the resistors. I really think these are causing communication problems and may solve the whole issue. 1-wire devices have a resistor between comm wire and positive at every device otherwise they won’t be seen. Does this system have a central unit for canbus comms?

@@rancillinmontgomery2480 CAN-Bus only has a resistor on the end of the wiring, so it eliminates the signals and no reflection appears. The resistors there are between CAN-High and CAN-Low.

@@rancillinmontgomery2480 Yes one at each end. In my experience CAN Heavy can come when you start the individual participants on the CAN-Bus, but mostly goes away by itself. I only noticed it now that it stays, when there are messages incomming. So it could be the resistors, but I would focus way more on the baud rate of the individual participants, because when there is a mismatch then there will be errors on the bus and one of the participants will shut of their transceiver, so the rest can communicate. This is why i wrote "- You can see error telegrams with the PCAN software when you go under trace > rightclick where the messages are > Enable "Log Error Frames" & "Log Error Counter Changes". You can also disable the other ones, so it's easier to see the error frames when there are not thousands of messages" in the first comment.

I’m so glad that when I did my conversion I built out each system separately. Batteries and charging, motor and controller, etc then combined everything into a master control unit. At the time it was Elithion. Not as robust of a unit as you guys are using, but it worked! Maybe go backwards and split units off the can bus. Isolate the J112 control, charger and batteries. You can charge for a short test with the BMS control just to see it take a charge. Temporarily turn off all battery management and let the charger control run wild. You can simply unplug to stop it.

At some point a unit will be so complex you can't repair, troubleshoot it. You saw those system data reports all come out in Chinese. The problem could be as stupid as a language or script setting in the software of one of the components. A character or processor limit... When nobody is familiar with marrying these systems nobody will be able to help either. You're in nomansland. This is why large companies manufacture everything in-house and try to standardise things accross industries. Unless they can be referenced you end up with enormous heaps of scrap just because fixing, troubleshooting is impossible for anyone but the designers of the products.

I can mostly agree with your methodology. However can’t help but notice that you rewired the plug and fried the wall charger, and the onboard controller immediately after. I’m curious about that. I’d verify that should be ground or whatever it was, then verify it’s only ground meaning the previous wiring didnt use that pin to power another circuit or something that could lead to everything being shorted. But of luck. As a test engineer I 100% can relate to the pain of blind diagnostics.

Thanks for the content! Really interesting! From a systems engineering point of view, may I suggest detailing out the block diagram that you were drawing on the board a bit more ? You could add the different types of inputs and outputs with a description of what each block is supposed to do.. Then use that to isolate and test each component in isolation.. perhaps ?

CAN wires always need to be twisted AND shielded! CAN is highly susceptible to interference and will cause intermittent communication issues. Specifically with charge systems you need a good clean communication line (CP wire) from the charger to charge controller on the vehicle. I work as an electrical engineer on electric buses and we run into issues all the time. We utilize CCS1 charging with J1939 CAN communication on our vehicles.

Another note: when using a PCAN as you are for network logging, you should set up the interface to look at CAN ID's vs continuous logging. That way you should be able to reverse engineer the RPM/Speed signals from the others. Source addresses are important but the message identifications (start bit/size) is where the specific data bits are stored and I am sure that is what you are modifying in the instrument panel. In our buses we use loggers with databases (which are nothing more than libraries) that can show data real time or can be viewed at a later point. Not sure if your inverter and motor/ other components come with databases, but those would be an excellent place to look for message details.

For communication, you can also use a coxial cable... the same as your cale company uses, but there are models specifically for CAN, since this protocol is used in a lot of industrial applications, as well as modbus., Also, you can buy a twisted pair cable, certified for serial communication (CAN in this case).

I have a plan do an EV conversion in the next 5 years (currently gathering components) and I'll definitely take the time and expense (it's just wires and connectors and a small price compared to the project) to lay everything out on a test bench and make sure everything works in harmony before installing into a vehicle. While mistakes can still be made going from test bench to vehicle, having a working roadmap to go from would be invaluable, and working out initial bugs on a test bench is so much easier than climbing in, out, over, and under a vehicle and working in confined spaces.
