Bosch Alternator Regulator LIN

[majshumlan]

Hi!

Im building a car and have this Volvo Alternator 180A layin around that I think it would suite my needs fine.
Though it have this LIN -ECU controlled regulator.

Im not sure if this could be solved some how.
Change the regulator to none LIN?
Let it run in fail safe mode with or without a external regulator?
Other ways?

Info of the Alternator(It will run with a Chevy 383 V8)
Alternator: Volvo 30659131 from a 2015 V60 D4
Regulator: Bosch F00M346166

Cheers!

Most alternators will run with a voltage set to around 14.4 if there is no LIN connection. The LIN control allows fine tuning but it's optional.

Im building the electronic system from scratch.

Diver300: That would be the option of running it in failsafe mode without the LIN bus.

Anyone know if the regulator gets its Logic power supplied from the LIN bus wire?

The alternator voltage regulator powers the field winding to adjust the voltage. It needs a couple of amps to do that. The LIN signal itself can't provide that, so the alternator regulator must get power from the B+ terminal.
