|
5. **Power Verification**: Verify power commands with actual module status
|
|
|
|
## Error Handling
|
|
|
|
### Error Mapping
|
|
|
|
Winline errors are automatically mapped to standardized power_supply_DC errors:
|
|
|
|
| Winline Error | power_supply_DC Error | Severity | Description |
|
|
|---------------|------------------------|----------|-------------|
|
|
| OverVoltage | OverVoltageDC | High | Output voltage too high |
|
|
| UnderVoltage | UnderVoltageDC | High | Output voltage too low |
|
|
| OverTemperature | OverTemperature | High | Module overheating |
|
|
| OverCurrent | OverCurrentDC | High | Output current too high |
|
|
| InputVoltage | UnderVoltageAC | High | AC input voltage issues |
|
|
| InternalFault | HardwareFault | High | Internal module fault |
|
|
| InputPhaseLoss | VendorError | High | AC phase loss |
|
|
| FanFault | VendorWarning | Medium | Cooling fan failure |
|
|
| CommunicationFault | CommunicationFault | High | Lost communication |
|
|
|
|
### Error Recovery
|
|
|
|
- **Individual Module Errors**: Other modules continue operating
|
|
- **Communication Timeout**: Modules automatically removed from active list
|
|
- **Communication Recovery**: Modules automatically re-added when responding
|
|
- **System-Wide Faults**: All modules forced off for safety
|
|
- **Automatic Recovery**: Attempts automatic recovery for overvoltage and
|
|
short circuit faults
|
|
|
|
### Logging Format
|
|
|
|
Error messages follow standardized format for easy identification:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Winline[0x00/SN_12345678]: Module fault alarm activated
|
|
Winline[0x01]: Communication fault detected, FORCE mode to off
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Current Sharing
|
|
|
|
When multiple modules are active, current is automatically shared equally:
|
|
|
|
**Example with 3 modules:**
|
|
|
|
- Request: 150A total
|
|
- Per-module: 50A each
|
|
- Voltage: Same for all modules
|
|
|
|
**Load Balancing:**
|
|
|
|
- Automatic equal current distribution
|
|
- Voltage synchronized across all modules
|
|
- Individual module limits respected
|
|
- Failed modules automatically excluded
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|

### Debug Information
|
|
|
|
Enable debug logging to see detailed protocol information:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# In your EVerest configuration
|
|
logging:
|
|
Winline: debug
|
|
```
|

|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Raw CAN monitoring
|
|
candump can0
|
|
|
|
# With timestamp
|
|
candump -t z can0
|
|
|
|
# Filter Winline traffic (controller address 0xF0)
|
|
candump can0 | grep F0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Hardware Requirements
|
|
|
|
### CAN Bus Setup
|
|
|
|
- **Topology**: Linear bus with 120Ω termination at both ends
|
|
- **Cable**: Twisted pair CAN cable (CAN_H, CAN_L)
|
|
- **Max Distance**: 40m at 125 kbps
|
|
- **Max Devices**: Multiple Winline modules + 1 controller
|
|
|
|
### Module Configuration
|
|
|
|
- Set module addresses or group settings before powering on
|
|
- Ensure all modules use same firmware version
|
|
- Configure appropriate current/voltage limits
|
|
- Set correct altitude and input mode
|
|
|
|
## Development Notes
|
|
|
|
### Architecture Constraints (Critical Implementation Details)
|
|
|
|
#### Single-Threaded CAN Communication
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: The entire CAN communication system operates in a single thread:
|
|
|
|
- `rx_handler()` and `poll_status_handler()` execute in the same thread
|
|
- No concurrent CAN operations - all message processing is sequential
|
|
- This design ensures deterministic message handling and eliminates race
|
|
conditions
|
|
- **Implication**: Blocking operations in handlers affect entire CAN
|
|
communication
|
|
|
|
#### Configuration Immutability
|
|
|
|
**CRITICAL**: Configuration is set exactly once during initialization:
|
|
|
|
- `set_config_values()` called only once at startup
|
|
- No runtime configuration changes supported
|
|
- Module addresses and operating mode cannot be changed after initialization
|
|
- **Implication**: Configuration errors require full module restart
|
|
|
|
### Security Model
|
|
|
|
#### No CAN Bus Security
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: Winline CAN protocol has no built-in security:
|
|
|
|
- **No encryption**: All CAN messages transmitted in plain text
|
|
- **No authentication**: No verification of message sender identity
|
|
- **No message integrity**: Only basic CRC provided by CAN hardware
|
|
- **Physical security required**: Secure the CAN bus physically
|
|
|
|
#### Message Validation Strategy
|
|
|
|
**Minimal Validation by Design**:
|
|
|
|
- **Only validation**: Controller address verification
|
|
- **Only malformation check**: Message must be exactly 8 bytes
|
|
- **No payload validation**: Content validity checking beyond packet structure
|
|
- **Rationale**: Keep protocol simple and fast for real-time operation
|
|
|
|
### Adding New Commands
|
|
|
|
1. Define register constants in `CanPackets.hpp`
|
|
2. Implement packet structures in `CanPackets.cpp`
|
|
3. Add command handling in `WinlineCanDevice::rx_handler()`
|
|
4. Add sending method if needed
|
|
|
|
### Thread Safety
|
|
|
|
- `telemetries` map: Protected by implicit single-thread access
|
|
- `active_module_addresses`: Protected by `active_modules_mutex`
|
|
- All signals are thread-safe via sigslot library
|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
|
|
- Use `vcan0` virtual CAN interface for development
|
|
- Mock modules can be simulated with `cansend` commands
|
|
- Unit tests recommended for packet encoding/decoding
|
|
