esense built-in systems

PowerTalk counters 

This information gives insight in the system and battery usage history of the connected product.

I System

Available on all systems

System active time (L3)

Total time the esense system has been active in its lifetime.

#System starts (L3)

Total number of system starts in its lifetime.

#System events (L3)

Total number of events written to the system log file.

#System faults (L3)

Total number of system faults in the system lifetime.

NOTE: Because it concerns a wide array of faults this number is not relevant in troubleshooting or review of system health.

#Relais switches (L3)

Total number of switches of the relais on the main controller in its lifetime.

I Drive

Available on all systems

Drive time (L2)

Total time the Drivewheel has been active in its lifetime.

NOTE: For correct information this counter must be reset when the Drivewheel or a complete Driveunit is replaced.

#Modbus errors (L3)

Total number of communication faults between the Main controller and the Drivewheel controller.

Steer time (L2)

Total time the steer mechanism of Driveunit 360 has been active in its lifetime.

I Battery

Available on all systems with battery pack

Charge cycles

Number of times the battery has been fully charged. A charge cycle is defined as “charging the battery with the total of the design capacity of the battery pack” (see battery settings).  Therefore the count of one single charge cycle (counter in PowerTalk) can comprise multiple charge events.

Example: A batterypack with a design capacity of 9Ah is charged on day 1 with 4 Ah, on day 2 with 2 Ah and on day 3 with 3 Ah. The total of all 3 days equals the design capacity and is counted as 1 charge cycle.

#Charge events

Number of charge events communicated by the battery management electronics.

NOTE: This number is not relevant for review of system health.

#BMS comm. errors (L3)

Number of BMS communication errors.

NOTE: This number is not relevant for review of system health.
