I have a Bionx 500HS (cca 2011) that I rode for about 7000 km.
One day it started acting funky - like suddenly going into re-gen while on assistance until it blew the battery fuse and got stuck into regen mode.
Now it beeps every second when I power on the system for about 30 seconds and it's stuck in regen mode. The console it's showing it in neutral and the controller inside the motor seems to be fine. I connected to the motor via Bikeinfo software and a Tiny-CAN and I could read the settings and change them but the symptom persists.
Here are the readings from the motor:
Configuration
-------------
Communication mode ...................: CAN
Wheel circumference ..................: 2199mm
Speed limit ..........................: 45.00km/h
Direction ............................: 1
Low speed ramp .......................: yes
Dynamic flag .........................: no
PWM limit ............................: yes
Walk level ...........................: 0.00%
Max. walk level ......................: 0.00%
Walk decrease start ..................: 1.0km/h
Walk decrease end ....................: 2.0km/h
Assist level offslope ................: 2000.80%/s
Assist regen inflex ..................: 72.73rpm
Assist max speed derate delta ........: 27.27rpm
Max. regen curent ....................: 9.00A
Max. discharge curent ................: 45.00A
--------
Hall DCHS ............................: 0
Hall trans ...........................: 0
Hall ring ............................: 0
Hall lost ............................: 0
Status ...............................: VPwrUVP
Status codes .........................: 0x00
Status codes latch ...................: 0x00
Temperature ..........................: 35C
Power voltage ........................: 0.04V
12V voltage ..........................: 11.45V
5V voltage ...........................: 5.13V
Assist level .........................: 0.00%
Motor speed ..........................: 0.00rpm
Motor power ..........................: 1.56%
Torque gauge polarity ................: 1
Torque gauge type ....................: 0
Torque gauge noise ...................: 0.61%
Torque gauge delay ...................: 1.00s
Torque gauge speed ...................: 45.45rpm
Torque gauge voltage .................: 9.99V
Torque gauge reference ...............: 5.00V
Torque gauge gain ....................: 100.00%
Torque gauge max voltage .............: 0.00V
Torque gauge max voltage delay .......: 0.00s
I went to one of the Bionx dealers in town and after chatting with a Bionx support rep they said they have no clue what to do.
I am thinking that the strain gauge may be faulty and my next step is to open the case and test that.
Any other idea what else to try?
