Power On
- Driver switches car on, closes connection between aux battery and Chaos
- Chaos turns Plutus on
- If no faults are detected by Plutus, battery relay and solar relay closes
- Chaos checks if DC-DC is functional, if so, switch power to DC-DC. This will also power all other LV components of the vehicle. If not, Chaos will go into a fault state, possible DC-DC failure
- Chaos will initiate pre-charge, and wait for the main relays to close via the sense wires
- If main relay closes, car is now ready to drive. If either doesn't, Chaos goes into another fault state, possible pre-charge or relay failure
Power Off
- Driver switches car off
- Chaos turns Pre-Charge off, main relays open and vehicle goes into discharge. If the main relays fail to open, a relay fault will be raised
- Chaos opens the solar relay, and battery relay
- Chaos and Plutus is now powered by the aux battery
- The vehicle is now off
- The aux battery can be disconnected through another switch
- If kill switch is hit at any point, chaos will open all relays. Since the DC-DC is now off, pre-charge will open the main relays.
Warnings to Driver:
- BMS fault
- Aux battery fault
- Relay fault
- DC-DC fault
