Component Function Within System
12V battery current sensor transmits battery current sensor signal via LIN communication to IPDM E/R.12V battery current sensor and 12V battery temperature sensor measure charging/discharging current of 12V battery and temperature around 12V battery, and sends its signal to IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R controls power generation by sending power generation command value signal based on following signals to DC-DC converter.
As a result, engine load can be reduced.
