Electrical Auxiliaries Editor
Description
The “Electrics” tab defines various parameters for electric auxiliaries used on the vehicle:
· Powernet Voltage [locked field/fixed value]
· Alternator Map, including filepath to the new Combined Alternator Map (.AALT) file
Files can be imported (blank field)/the Combined Alternator Map editor opened (file present) by clicking on the ‘browse’ button adjacent to the “Alternator Map” text box.
· Alternator Pulley Efficiency [locked field/fixed value]
· Door Actuation Time(S) [locked field/fixed value]
· Stored Energy Efficiency [locked field/fixed value]
· Smart Electrics [On/Off]
Smart electrics are enabled by checking the “Smart Electrics” box
· Electrical Consumables
The “Electrical Consumables”
table contains a list electrical equipment that place demand on the engine.
Check boxes enable the user to select whether the energy demanded by each
consumable is included in the calculation of the base vehicle. The user can
modify only the number of consumables of each type installed on the vehicle*. The
Nominal Consumption (amps) for each consumer, and the percentage of time each
consumer is active during the cycle are locked default values as agreed with
the project steering group.
* Note: for certain fields the allowable values are also controlled/prescribed
according to the requirements of the project steering group.
Results Cards
Upon activation of Smart
Electrics using the check box, the user may enter Result Card values according
to the methodology proposed by the steering group. Until the certification
procedure to determine the correct values is agreed, it is recommended to use
the following default values:
Example Default Results Card values
Result Card: Idle |
Result Card: TractionON |

Default Values
The following table provides a summary of the default values that are populated
whenever a new advanced auxiliaries (.AAUX) file is created from scratch (nominal
consumption and % active are always fixed defaults, so are not shown). The
table also indicates the editable/default status of the relevant parameters in
the VECTO UI in Engineering mode, and the recommended status in Declaration
mode (not currently implemented). The default values / parameter status has
been agreed with the project steering group.
