This does have another reason than the voltage.
Does the Led on the Sevcon blink?
Did you try to change the baut rate? I am not sure but maybe they changed from 250kbs or 1000kbs to 500kbs from "12 to "13.
Try this at first, if the Sevcon led is alive, this will be a canbus error..
The LED on the sevcon blink 7 times
The IXXAT no more communicate at 125khz and i see some activity only at 500khz setting for the baud rate.
All problem began once i uploaded the 2013 Zero controller DCF file into my Zero 2012 controller, and cycled the key. In fact i need the 2013 motor parameters and the only way to get this is to send the Zero S 2013 DCF file to the controller. It seem not possible to load a DCF file and to read it unless to send it to the controller..
As for the IXXAT, I think that normally the 2013 is operating at 500khz According to some info i saw in the dcf files when i opened it with a txt file editor
My 2012 normally work at 125khz.
It's like the uploaded infos from the 2013 DCF file have set the controller to work at 500khz... but normally the rirring in the 2012 is made to work at 125khz...
if i want to go back and reprogram the right older DCF file of my 2012 S, i just can't because it must be set at 125khz to comm properly and have no comm error, but the sevcon is set to work at 500khz now...
If i type the command FLTS to get the fault i get the two following error: Preop and Low Batt
I know i have left the sevcon in Preop wich is normal.. i am working in programing it.
As for the Low Batt error i think it's an error caused by the fact that the DCF file for the 2013 Zero is setting the controller to work between about 84V to 116V ... But my 2012 Zero normally work between 54 to 75V so even with my fully charged battery on the 2012, the controller "think" it is critical low voltage.. and i wonder if that is what is causing problem....
According to the specs, The 7 blink the Green LED on the controller is doing mean:
7 Incorrect battery voltage
Correct battery voltage,
loose connections,
discharged battery.
