KellyController Parameters, Programing setup, Part1 (English)

[@Jorenclark]

Thanks so much. After first watching your videos a year ago, I finally re-watched them and got my KLS7218S to work with my Cyclone 3000w mid-drive. It was also my first attempt at battery building (20s5P), so the first power up was nerve racking. The motor didn't turn at first and just jittered, but I swapped two of the phase wires and it worked! Using your videos and the manual, I was able to get it programmed. Thanks again!

Glad to hear. :)

Great explanation of all options. Thanks!

Thank you, there is 2 more videos, part 2 and 3...

[@OpenEmoto]

I've seen them all! One thing to think about: what you are programming is a Kelly KLS controller. Other lines, like older KBS have very different parameters. Maybe you should specify that in the title. Thanks again for a great video series!

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

@@OpenEmoto Thank you for the tip. It is specified in the video description. Anyway the old software is simpler than the new one, so if you are able to program this one the other one has less parameters but their function is the same as in new model. (There just some little simple differences)

Hey Gonzalo, have you ever had any issues with the computer cable connection? A few months ago I was able to get it to connect after a number of attempts and then set up the parameters, but lately I can't seem to make it work. Every time I try to open the Kelly app it says "no power, or cable not connected". Do you have any advice?

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

Yes, sometimes I had difficulties with the cable. Usually after several attempts disconnecting the battery and so on I was able to connect. Try to add a ferrite ring to the cable because it maybe noise problems. Heard that using Android app instead of PC app works better but never tried myself.

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

If your motor turns and then suddenly stop abruptly, it is possible that you have not done the motor identification sensors angle properly. That can cause big consumption as well. Try to make it again, it should turn smooth and nicely.

[@MrDeceptacon88]

Great vid!! You mentioned around 10:55 about Max Output Fre. Mine is also at 1000. So this can be only requested to Kelly to increase it? Is it to increase top rpm or speed of motor? Thanks!!

Yes it is possible to request to Kelly for higher frequency controllers if necessary. But that does not mean that your motor will go faster if your motor is only able to go to a certain speed with the voltage supplied.

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

Hi Garbagej, For what you say, I think that the problem is that the motor phase wires and hall sensor wires are not connected in the right combination. You have to check the different combinations of wiring the motor phase cables and hall sensors cables in order to find the correct ones. There is 36 different possible combinations, only 6 of them make the motor work, 3 in one way and 3 in the reverse.

Hello Gonzalo I have a Kelly kbs-x 72v 55amp controller I’m trying to wire up to a cyclone 3000w motor, could you give me a run down on what PIN numbers go with what for throttle, acceleration switch, 12v out? I’m having some trouble figuring this out as I’ve seen different things. I’ve read the manual but i want to make sure, as well as do you think I’ll need the pre charge resistor? Or instead can I use a capacitor parallel with the battery lines into the controller ?Thanks for the help in advance !

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

Hi Cristian. - First of all here is where you can download the latest manual: kellycontroller.com/wp-content/uploads/kbs/KellyKBS-XUserManual.pdf - On pages 10 and 11 you got clear schematics about the connections. - For the throttle: Pin 20 is ground (usually black cable in throttle) Pin 4 is 5V (usually the red cable in the throttle) and Pin 3 is the signal from the throttle (usually white cable in the throttle but can be other colour) - For what they call "acceleration switch", I think they refer to a dead's man switch, latter they call it in the manual foot switch. I talk in the video about it. You can use it or not as it can be enabled or not. - (Pin 11) 12V out, this to use just in case that some sensors may require 12V instead of 5V (Do NOT use it to feed other vehicle systems as it gives very little current) - With 72V I recommend that you use a resistor precharge system. - You can add a capacitor at the entrance of the controller if the distance from the battery to the controller is very large. But this will make even more necessary the precharge system.

[@cristhianhoyos7863]

@@gonzalop.chomon327 for the precharge system how exactly can that be set up do I have to have a contactor? The battery will be in a back pack with a cord about 3 feet long, would that distance be long enough to be able to just use a spark arrest such as a capacitor?

In order to give you some advice about it I need detailed information. But before of all you need to know this: A battery powered electric system depends on the battery power. So if you want more power the best way to start is to have a more powerful battery. There is different ways to pimp up controllers and motors so they can give more power that what have been designed for, but first the battery has to be able to give that power to the these devices.

No, this controller does not have field weakening. As far as I know (I don't know all) Kelly controllers doesn't have that feature. Anyway, as a rule of thumb if the motor needs to run more that 10% of its working time on field weakening point, it is better to use a higher KV motor, or increase the system voltage in order to achieve higher rpms. Else the system will run with low power efficiency.

There is 36 different combinations of how to connect the cables of the motor and the hall sensors. It only works in 6 of those 36 combinations. this is done by try and error.

I don't understand, i used your very usefull video to link my kls7212s to my mxus xf19 but it don't work. I linked the 5 hall wires, the 3 throttle wires, the power wire to the plus of the 52v battery, the 3 phases wires. When i first plug the battery and the power cable i had a green light flashing on the controller, i immediatly tryed to use the throttle and i felt a beggining of reaction like a very little impulsion every time i started to activate the throttle, avery very shy move then the green flashing light turned to a flashing red like this: 3 times flashing then 4 times flashing again and again. If someone can help me, i checked all the connections, nothing wrong

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

@jeanterine4712, 3-4 flashing light means: Angle Sensor Error: It can be: - Connected the phase wires or the hall sensors wires on the wrong combination - Damaged hall sensors - Identification angle procedure not made or failed - Wrong setup of kind of sensor I bet for the first or third reason ;)

[@magnusskogh2619]

When I do the identification it will end with 3 buzz and then 2. Do you know whats wrong?

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

Hi Magnus, Before you make identification angle procedure, the motor has to be able to turn, meaning that the color combination of cables is correct. And you have to choose the correct parameters at the controller. Check full videos.

Fantastic tutorial series!! Following it closely but I have a slight problem... it seems KellyController only has the KBS-X version not the KBS-E version, so it's capping me at 60v for over voltage on a 72v setup :( - any chance you have the link you used to download the programming software?

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

@@neworld4ever I think it can be problem in the identification angle or faulty wiring. That causes the controller to reset. It can be as well a problem inside the controller of bad connections. Check everything, make sure that after doing the identification angle procedure, the value is back automatically to 85. Hope it helps.

[@neworld4ever]

@@gonzalop.chomon327 the identification angle is automatically back to 85 each time i set it to 170. the wiring is good. is there is a way to set the identification manually?

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

@@neworld4ever No there is no way to do the identification angle manually. And if it changes to 85 means that is doing it correctly. So look for something else. The only things elses I can think of are: - To check the different combinations of wiring the motor phase cables and hall sensors cables in order to find the correct ones. - There is the possibility that the controller is faulty.

When I turn on my Kelly Kbs-X it goes green, I turn the throttle and the motor starts to turn then cuts out after a 1/4 turn and light flashes red, how do I solve this?

That is probably because you still have not made the sensors angle detection procedure. Do it and see if it works properly.

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

Sorry I do not understand French, but with the translators it says: "Hi, I have paired the phases but the motor jerks and doesn't want to know anything and on my Controller the red led stays on." You need to find out the right combination so the motor turns. There is 36 different combinations and it only works in 6 of them. When it turns do not fully accelerate the motor before you make the sensors identification angle protocol.

So there is no Regen ??

You can setup the regeneration different ways: No motor brake, Intelligent automatic regen brake (using brake switch), Analog regen brake (using a potentiometer or a hall sensor throttle/pedal), Release throttle regen brake and as well you can setup, slope braking aid and direction change regen braking.

Hello Sir, I am currently working on a 3 wheel project. I am working with a Kelly KLS7212N model driver. I am working with a 3 wheel vehicle of approximately 400 kg.(Gearbox ratio 1:10) The vehicle cannot go uphill without a booster gear and overheats, reaches about 90 degrees Celsius and protects itself from excessive heat. How can I overcome this problem, which parameters should I change?

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

There is some parameters at the controller that can be tuned in order to reduce the motor temperature. Between others the main parameter you can tune is: to reduce the overall power, but as you commented, you have power problems. What makes me think that the problem maybe that the motor is not powerful enough for your application. Can you give information about the vehicle: Weight, speed you want, aerodynamic coefficient, frontal area, etc. So it is possible to calculate what is the motor power for your needs.

Hi Gonzalo, thanks for the tutorials. wondering whether u be making a wiring video as mentioned? ive got a KBS72181AE and the manual reads 'All contactors or circuit breakers in the B+ line must have precharge resistors across their contacts', but it doesnt seem like you have and im hoping there will video to enlighten this matter with other systems like the regen braking. tqvm for reading

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

No I have not used any prechager system, that is why you can listen the sparking on the videos. The model used for the video is quite small so it is possible to skip the precharge at cost of replacing connectors or switches occasionally. But for bigger controllers precharge resistor or other system is a must. You can find info about the regen braking on the following videos: Part 2 English: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZrJapeki9ClbLc Part 3 English: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4WzZ6CbrpeYec0

After letting some time to cool I tried again but the Led indicated there's too much voltage into the controller. I suspect it could be my wire running from the battery to the pink wire 7 being not the right size and resistance maybe? What's the right awg then? Thanks

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

@@guumballl Pin 7 is just the "switch on" signal, it does not need any kind of big load cable. If controller heated up in just a few seconds, something must be done badly. Check everything with the schematics in the controller manual making sure that all is connected in the right way. And of course make sure that the battery voltage is not over the controller limit (90V for your model)

The BBSHD motor has 4 poles so it will be 8 for the "Motor Poles" field. About the thermistor, this controller accepts the KTY84-130 (970 - 1030 Ω) and the KTY83-122 (1000 - 1020 Ω) so I believe that a 10K thermistor will not work for this controller.
