Tips 1: ID description

If there is one battery, the NO.I address battery directly connect to the inverter. And the RS485 or CAN communication port Of battery is connected to the corresponding inverter communication port. If there are more than two battery modules in parallel, NO.I address battery is a master battery, have to connect to the inverter, including the power Output and communication port. Other slaves batteries (Other battery address) connect to each Other by Battery-Comm COM port. Then all batteries and inverters can establish communication. Please see the Chapter IV, there is the details connection diagram. Note: Address 1 will not communicate with BMS Tools correctly. To use BMS Tools change to another battery address unique to others in the System.

VOLTAGE PROTECTION

• Over Charge Protection
  During charging, if the voltage Of any cell exceeds the setting for cell protection or total voltage Of the system is greater than the setting for the system, the BMS Stops charge. And when all voltage Of each cell and total voltage Of the battery drop to the recovering-set values, the protection removes automatically. The voltage settings are shown in table 3.6.

• Over Discharge Protection
  During discharge, if the voltage Of any one cell or total voltage Of the battery is lower than the protection settings, the BMS Stops discharge. And when all cell voltage and total voltage go up to recovering-setting, the protection remove automatically. Parameters in table 3.6.

CURRENT PROTECTION

• Charging Over Current Protection
  During charge, if the charging current is bigger than the setting value, the BMS stops charge. Delay specified time or discharge the battery, it will recover. The settings are shown in table 3.6

• Discharging Over Current Protection
  During discharge, if the discharging current is bigger than the setting value, the BMS stops discharge. Delay specified time or charge the battery, it will recover. The settings are shown in table

TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

Cell Temperature Protection
There are several thermal sensors to monitor the cell temperature, if the temperature of any cell is higher than 700C or lower than -50C, the BMS will stop charging. If the temperature of any cell is higher than 75C or lower than – 20 C, BMS will stop the discharge.

Smart Cell Balance
During charging, If all cell voltages are greater than 3.40V and the voltage difference between cells A U > 40mV, BMS will trigger the balancing process, the balance current is designed base on the capacity of battery pack. A U=MaxCell voltage — Min Cell voltage
