BMS unit address is selected via Address DIP Switch pins (BMS) at the back of the unit. Binary addressing is used
to enable setting up to 15 addresses with 4 DIP Switches. ! If multiple BMS units are used distinguished
addresses should be set to avoid data collision on the RS-485 communication bus!

BMS unit is programmed as a Slave unit and responds only when asked. Galvanically isolated RS-485 (EN 61558-1,
EN 61558-2) serves for logging and changing BMS parameters. Dedicated PC BMS Control Software or another RS-
485 device may be used for the communication.
Dataflow:
• Bit rate: 56k
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Parity: None
• Mode: Asynchronous

Example: proper byte message for 'LCD1?' instruction for BMS address 1 is:
<0x55><0x01><0x00><0x05><0x4C><0x43><0x44><0x31><0x3F><0x01><0xD9><0xAA>
RS-485 message are executed when the microprocessor is not in interrupt routine so a timeout of 350 ms should
be set for the answer to arrive. If the timeout occurs the message should be sent again.

Pre-charge Circuit:
Pre-charge circuit is used to fill the input capacitors of the Sunny Island. When the BMS turns the internal relay,
battery voltage starts to charge the capacitors via 33 Ohm power resistors inside the pre-charge circuit. After 4 s,
the contactor is turned ON. When the BMS encounters an error and the contactor should be turned OFF, it sends
the Alarm via CAN bus so the Sunny Island can start Stand-by or Turn-off procedure prior of contactor turning
OFF. Figure 11 below shows how to connect the pre-charge circuit in the system.

Voltage-to-current Coefficient:
Different size and resistance shunts can be used, since the voltage-to-current coefficient can be changed in the
BMS Control software as 'I','O','J','A',' ','xxxxx' Current is calculated by the voltage drop at the shunt resistor. 1
LSB of the 18 bit ADC represents different current values according to the shunt resistance. The LSB coefficient
can be calculated as:
0.05 V ܫcurrentx
݇ௌ = 0.01171875 ∙ ∙
300 A ܸdropx
where the Vdropx represents the voltage drop on different shunt resistor at current Icurrentx.
ADC has a pre-set gain of 8. With a maximum input voltage difference of 0.256 V.
Temperature and power correction coefficient are taken into consideration at the SOC calculation. Li-Po
chemistry algorithms have an additional voltage to SOC regulation loop inside the algorithm. Actual cell capacity is
recalculated by the number of the charging cycles as pointed out in the manufacturer’s datasheet.
When BMS is connected to the battery pack for the first time, SOC is set to 50 %. SOC is reset to 100 % at the end
of charging. Charging cycle is added if the minimum SOC of 35% or less was reached in the cycle.

BMS unit can be supplied without the enclosure, if an application is weight or space limited. The dimensions of
the BMS without the enclosure are 160 mm x 100 mm x 27 mm. Sufficient contact surface for cooling the
balancing resistors should be provided (aluminum recommended). The PCB has four 3.2 mm mounting holes.
