AEM 30-8000 Programmable EV Vehicle Control Unit

Not Available

AEM EV Vehicle Control Units (VCUs) are the missing link for high-performance EV street-conversion motorsports applications. They allow the calibrator to create customized torque management strategies applicable to a wide range of EV systems and component combinations. They integrate EV systems and unify the tuning experience providing motorsports- and conversion-ready features presented in a high feature, modern and customizable interface. Be In Control with AEM EV. AEM EV's VCU200 is built on OEM hardware and features OEM quality strategies. Combined, these provide the highest level of reliability, and more importantly, safety for both the programmer and end-user. The VCU200 in default configuration can manage a single inverter/motor system, communicate with four independent CAN bus networks, and it can be used on direct-drive and indirect-drive EV setups. Primary functions of the AEM VCU200 include: Input characterization including accelerator pedal, brake switch, PRND switches and other driver/vehicle inputs Redundancy and arbitration features for all safety-critical inputs Startup and shutdown sequencing of high voltage components, including independent contactor control CAN message translation for BMS, inverter, PDUs, and other CAN accessories Motor torque management dependent on vehicle operating states and other driver-selectable modes Closed-loop motor speed regulation for indirect drive transmission applications Dynamic torque limits that maximize safety and optimize performance Accessory control of cooling pumps, cooling fans, lights and more Diagnostics and fault detection including CAN message timeouts, thermal limits, contactor, and inverter enable cross-checks The VCU200 can control one electric motor/inverter and link 4 independent controller area networks (CAN bus). A general set of hardware features is shown below. INPUTS: 13 Analog inputs 15 Digital Inputs 4 Frequency inputs OUTPUTS: 12 Low-side drivers 6 High-side drivers 4 Half Bridges with shunt resistors which provide - 4 low side drivers (PWM) or 4 High Side Drivers

Features:

  • AEM VCU200 provides complete control of supported Inverter(s)/Motor(s) in an EV conversion or EV motorsports vehicle
  • AEMcal software for the VCU200 simplifies the calibration process by putting all of your controls in one suite. AEMcal is free and fully enabled (no fee to unlock features)
  • Motor torque management (programmable torque curves) dependent on vehicle operating states and other driver-selectable modes
  • Programmable accelerator pedal, brake switch, PRND switches, and other driver/vehicle inputs
  • Seamless data visualization and data logging with addition of CD Carbon Digital Dash Display
  • Accessory control of cooling pumps, cooling fans, lights and more through VCU200 with addition of PDU-8 power distribution unit
  • Redundancy and arbitration features for all safety-critical inputs
  • Startup and shutdown sequencing of high voltage components, including independent contactor control
  • CAN message translation for BMS, inverter, PDUs, and other CAN accessories
  • Diagnostics and fault detection including CAN message timeouts, thermal limits, contactor, and inverter enable cross-checks
