Sobre

Este módulo é responsável por gerenciar o carregamento do sistema com a finalidade de garantir segurança para a embarcação.

Requisitos e Abordagens
  1. Gerenciar a conexão elétrica entre as baterias e o restante do sistema.
    • Utilizar de um relé de alta potência.
    • Ser controlado através da rede CAN da embarcação.
  2. Proteger o sistema de falhas por sobre-corrente.
    • Utilizar de um fusível corretamente dimensionado.
  3. Realizar o carregamento do banco de capacitores de maneira segura.
    • Utilização de um circuito de inrush.
      • Utilizar de um NTC para limitar o di/dt.
      • Utilizar de um resistor para limitar o pico de corrente
      • Utilizar de um relé para garantir a desconexão completa entre o sistema e o banco de baterias.
  4. Facilitar o diagnóstico
    • Utilizar reportagens pela rede CAN
    • Utilizar LEDs e Buzzer
      • Sinalizar o estado dos relés
        • Relé do inrush
        • Relé principal
      • Sinalizar o estado do fusível principal
  5. Garantir fixação mecânica que não flexione a PCB

Questions

How big is the Main panel charger PCB?

It measures 275.2 × 103.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Main panel charger use?

222 parts, built around the LM324, LM7812, LL4148 and BCV27. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Main panel charger KiCad files?

From the ZeniteSolar/MCS19 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/export_files/main_panel_charger.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Main panel charger design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
