Hours:
Time regulator has been powered up, in hours and fraction (to 2 digits) of hours.
BatVolts:
Derived Battery Volts, in volts and fractions of volts (to 1mV resolution). Used to decide change mode changes.
Measured Alternator Amps, in Amps and fraction of Amps (to 1/10 th of an Amp).
AltAmps:
BatAmps:
Derived Battery Amps being used to decide charge modes.
Voltage and current readings made by the WS500 Alternator Regulator are directly reported as AltVolts and AltAmps . Unless overridden by an external source (example via a Remote Battery Sensor) those same values will be assumed to be BatVolts and BatAmps and used by the regulator to make charge state decisions.
SystemWatts: Current measured System Watts being delivered.
TargetVolts:
Volts the regulator is attempting to bring the battery to. This value is the ACTUAL voltage value being driven to, and reflected the adjusted Charge profile entry and the sysVolts index value.
TargetAmps*: Amps the regulator will limit the alternator to. This value is the ACTUAL amperage being driven to, and reflecting the derating and half power mode adjustments.
TargetWatts*: Watts the regulator is actually working to limit the system to.
AltState:
Current state of the Alternator, per the following table:
Value 0,1,4
- Alternator Off
2,3
- Alternator FAULTED (See Fault Code) - In special DC-Disconnected CV mode.
5
6 - Alternator in Idle (Ala, Half-power Mode with active DCDC converter) 9 - In CONFIGURATION mode 10 - Alternator Standby mode, or in delay mode while engine warms up. 11,15 - Ramping towards BULK mode. 12,20 - In BULK mode 21 - In ACCEPTANCE mode 22 - In OVER CHARGE mode 30 - In FLOAT mode 31 - In FORCED_FLOAT mode (via Feature_in pin and CPE = #8) 36 - In OFF (Post Float) mode 38 - In EQUALIZE mode 39 - In CVCC mode (only available in system under direction of CAN master)
