State „Checking“

Ref.: IR14488E 27.10.2016 Page 6/92

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

General state-check
If no error results the state changes to „Ready“
else the state changes to „Error“.

State „Ready“
Contactors are switched off
There is no „Actual-Error“.
An existing SD-error may be cleared with the CAN-frame "Reset Error”.

 Active input “Drive” (KL15S) change to state „Drive“.

 Active input „PlugIn“ (KL15) change to state „Plug-In“.

 If an error occurs - change to state „Error“.

If “Drive” or „PlugIn“ are not active anymore - change to state „End“.

State „Drive“
Contactors HV+ und HV- are switched on.
If a Shutdown Error occurs - change to state „Error“. Contactors will open.
If „Drive“ (KL15S) not active anymore it will be changed to state „End“.
If „PlugIn“ (KL15) is switched on change to state „Plug-In“.

Two Sub-Modes are possible:

Sub-Mode „Charge“:
In this Sub-Mode the BMS communicates with the charger (NLG5) via CAN-Bus.
The charger is connected to the battery via contactors like the load.
If a SD-error occurs the state changes to „Error“ and the contactors will be
switched off.

Sub-Mode „Switch-Off-omitted“:
In this Sub-Mode there is no change to Error-Mode on detection of a shut-down-
error but the contactors will not switch off. The switch off is delayed as long as
as the CAN command „Switch-Off-omitted“ is sent periodically to the BMS. If an
SD-error has occured switch-off will be performed after leaving this Sub-Mode.

State „PlugIn“
Contactors are switched off. Different from the load the battery charger is connected via
its own contactor to the battery.

Ref.: IR14488E 27.10.2016 Page 7/92

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

If a SD-error occurs to state changes to „Error”.

If „PlugIn“ is not active any longer then the state changes to „End“.

One Sub-Mode is possible:

Sub-Mode „Charge“ (see above)

In this Sub-Mode the BMS communicates with the charger (NLG5) via CAN-Bus.
The charger is connected to the battery via contactors like the load.
If a SD-error occurs the state changes to „Error“ and the contactors will be
switched off.

Status „Error“
Contactors are switched off.
If “Drive” or „Plug-IN“ is not active anymore it will be changed to state „End“.
If no actual error is present it will be changed state to „Ready“.

Status „BMS-OFF“
Contactors are off, the BMS switches off.

If instead of “Drive” the CAN “WakeUp” -Frame is used for start up the system shows the
same behaviour. Furthermore in this example the CAN-WatchDog is parameterized
(0x013F) and the external insulation monitor reports an error for some seconds after
being switched on. The diagram shows the normal course of action without further errors.

operation and no battery test.

Change to state “End” after measuring of cell voltages, calculating of stat of charge (SoC)
and depth of discharge (DoD), revision of cell balancing and – if necessary – adjusting the
slaves for balancing.
As long as the slaves are doing the balancing the Master will be called every 10 minutes
from state “BMS-off” into state “RTC”. If no further balancing is needed the RTC-Wake-up
call will be executed every 240 minutes only.

Ref.: IR14488E 27.10.2016 Page 13/92

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

2.2 SYSTEM: START, MAIN-TASK, STOP

The system is permanently connected to the power supply. For the master this is done by
KL30, for the slaves directly by the battery cells.

There are four possibilities to start and stop the system:

1.) Mode Ignition ”Drive“ (KL15S) : Start / continuously main-loop / Stop

The system is powered on or off by a voltage signal at ”Drive“. The voltage level must
be higher than: KL15 [V] >= ( „KL15_on_prz“ * „Min_KL30“) / 100.0 to start the
system and keep it running.

2.) Mode „Plug-In“ (KL15) : Start / continuously main-loop / Stop

The system is powered on by a rising edge voltage signal at „Plug-In“ and powered off if
the voltage has been switched off. The voltage level must be higher than: KL15 [V]
>= ( „KL15_on_prz“ * „Min_KL30“) / 100.0 to start the system and keep it running.

3.) Mode CAN: Start / continuously main-loop / Stop

The system starts on reception of a CAN frame of type ‘WAKEUP’ and stops with CAN
frame ‘SHUTDOWN’.
4.) Mode RTC: Start / one main-loop / Stop

This internal function is permanently active and is used to perform the balance system
every “RTC-Wakeup-Short“ or every “RTC-Wakeup-Long“ minutes. The longer time
value is used if there is no further need to balance the cell voltages.
After having carried out the reduced measurement cycle (only voltages, no current, no
battery check and no operation of contactors ...) the system does the SoC and DoD
calculations and enters automatically the power down mode.

The time interval for the measurement cycle is given by parameter „Cycle-Time-TU“.

Parameters:
0x0124 Cycle-Time_TU 1000 ms
0x0103 Min-Kl30 10000 mV
0x0104 KL15-on-prz 25 %
0x0101 RTC-Wakeup-Short 10 minutes
0x0102 RTC-Wakeup-Long 240 minutes

2.3 STATES: CHARGE, DISCHARGE, NOCURRENT

A current value with positive sign is interpreted as charge-current, a current with negative sign
as discharge-current. If the current is within an interval of +/- parameter value “IBat-Ignore”,
the state is assumed to be ‘NoCurrent’. In this state, the Ah/kWh counters are not updated and
the battery-check-algorithm is simplified.

The state ‘NoCurrent’ is needed to inhibit spurious updates of statistic data’s caused by the
internal accuracy of the current measurement system.

2.) Turn off all contactors for safety reasons (even though presumably dispensable) -> test sense

In case of any fault all contactors will be opened and BIT 13 of the ERR - word will be set.
The Host, loader or the inverter of the load may send the CAN frame "CAN-PreChgVolt."
see below “CAN Frames”). It serves to avoid Switching-on if there is a fault during
Precharge.
Responsibility of “CAN Precharge Information” (if activated).
If for the parameter „0x0321= CAN-PreChgVolt“ a CAN-ID has been parameterised there
must be at the end of the precharge time a reception of such frame by the BMS with the
value of the voltage Ubatt measured by e.g. the host. If that will be not the case the
switching-on will be aborted.
Conclusion: If there is a parameter “0x0321” different from zero, there must be an
external device sending the actual voltage via the designated CAN-ID to make it possible
to switch-on.

2.3.2. SIMULATE KV-SENSE LINES

In applications with simple contactors without sense lines or in applications with

environments of high electromagnetic interference that may lead to misinterpretation and
by mistake to a battery switch off this parameter may be set to omit the computing of
contactor sense lines.

0x0156 Simulate KV-Sense Lines 1 yes

This parameter has to be used with demanded caution because all control functions of
contactor contacts regularly closing and opening will be overridden.

2.3.3. CHARGING

2.3.3.1 PLUGIN MODE

Charging will be started with “PlugIn”. If at this time “Drive” has still been active by
accident the contactors will be opened and subsequently it will be changed to charge
mode. Charging has always priority over driving. With “PlugOut” charging ends/is aborted.
Even if „Drive“ is still on at this moment, the battery will not be started! In this case
„Drive“ has to be switched off first.

2.3.3.2 CHARGER SELECTION

With parameter „Typ-Charger“ the charger type and the communication with the charger
will be selected.

0x017E Typ-Charger 0, 1, 2 …

 0: An external CAN-controlled charger will be used. The BMS will send only in
plug-in-mode the necessary CAN-frame „CAN-Id Tx CHARGER CTL“. To switch
on the main contactors the CAN-frames „CAN-Id Rx CHARGER ST“, „CAN-Id Rx
CHARGER ACT_I“, „CAN-Id Rx CHARG. ACT_II“, „CAN-Id Rx CHARGER TEMP“
und „CAN-Id Rx CHARGER ERR“ are expected under certain conditions..
 1: A standard mains supply circuit without CAN will be used as a charger.
Therefore the BMS cannot control charging and no charging algorithm is used. It
will be difficult to charge the battery completely.
 2: No CAN-frame will be sent to the charger. Charger control will be managed
using PWM-output „PWM0“ with PWM-frequency of 2kHz. Ton/T = 10%
corresponds to 0A, Ton/T = 90% corresponds to maximum charge current.


 3: Every 100 ms the BMS sends CAN-Frame „CAN-Id Tx CHARGER CTL“,
independent from plug-in-mode or drive-mode befindet. The charge current
nominal value has a resolution of 0.1 A.
 4: Every 100 ms the BMS sends CAN-Frame „CAN-Id Tx CHARGER CTL“,
independent from plug-in-mode or drive-mode befindet. The charge current
nominal value has a resolution of 0.01 A.

2.3.3.3 CHARGING CURVE SELECTION

With Parameter 0x01F0 two different charge modi may be selected.

0x01F0: Charge Mode: 1 - 3–level–curve
0x01F0: Charge Mode: 2 - 7–point–curve

2.3.3.4 THREE-LEVEL-CURVE

With following parameters voltage ranges are defined for the three-level-curve. Within
these ranges the defined nominal charge currents are emitted to the charger unit.

Example Unit

Umin corresponds to the cell voltage with the lowest value. U max corresponds to the cell
voltage with the highest value.
Data flow and priorities are depicted in Picture 7: Calculation Logics for Charge Current.
First the lowest cell voltage Umin is evaluated. If Umin is below U3, the charge current will
be calculated depending on the voltage value in the regions II or III. When U min is lower
than U1, the emitted charge current will be zero. If U min is lower than “UErr-U-Min-Cel”l
(Parameter 0x0105) the Master must receive the CAN frame “Reset Error” 1; if not so the
emitted nominal charge current will be zero.
If all cell voltages are in the range between U3 and U4, the maximum charge current will
be emitted.
If Umin > U3 then Umax will be evaluated. When Umax > U4 the charge current will be
calculated depending on the voltage value in the regions V to VII. When U max > U7 then

the emitted charge current will be zero and the charger will be shut down if possible.
If I7 is parametrized greater zero this state is kept until U max < U8 (Hysteresis).
The parameter value of U8 has to be unconditionally smaller than the U7 value.
With I7 = 0, the hysteresis is inactive, U8 will not be considered and the charger will not
be shut down.

2.3.3.6 MAXIMUM CHARGE CURRENT

2.3.3.6.1 CHARGE PREDICTION

Before the calculated nominal current will be emitted, it will be evaluated to be below the
calculated charge prediction.

2.3.3.6.2 MAXIMUM CURRENT OF THE CHARGER

The calculated charge current will be limited by the charger’s max current.
The emitted nominal charge current will be either the value of the charge prediction or the
the charger’s max current whatever is lower.

2.3.3.6.3 ADVICE

Please consider that the calculation of the nominal charge current will be done in
Milliamps, but the emitted value to the charger will be in 100 mA steps.
Example: 45 mA will be emitted as 0,0 A and 52 mA will be emitted as 0,1 A.

The ULimit value for the charger is calculated once at system start depending on
Cell Count * UcellMax / parall. String Count = ULimit
Example: 80 * 4,2 V / 1 = 336 Volt

2.4 MEASUREMENT-SYSTEMS

2.4.1. CURRENT MEASURING

The „Current Factor“ serves the calibrating of the current sensor.

Formula: IBatt_BMS = IBatt_Sensor * CurrentFactor / 1000

Range: 0 … 65535
Default: 1000 (Factor = 1000 , no scaling)

The scaling also affects the “I_PEAK / I_PEAK_IM”-switch-off-directly of the ADC –

Interrupt-service – routine.

Application:
A simple metering range expansion: the current is conducted only partly through the
sensor. The current factor makes sure that internal can be calculated with correct values.
This factor has to be established in a unique calibrating measurement.

CAN:

DATA Sub-Id=0x01 Actual current mA

Parameters:

0x0309 Current Factor 5000 [I-Sensor Anpassung]

0x0114 Err-I-Max-Charge 22000 mA

0x0115 Err-I-Max-Discharge 150000 mA
0x0116 Warn-I-Max-Charge 18000 mA
0x0117 Warn-I-Max-Discharge 120000 mA

0x0118 IPeak-Max-Charge_Im 0 mA [0: Fkt. ausgeschaltet]

0x0119 IPeak-Max-Discharge_Im 0 mA [0: Fkt. ausgeschaltet]

0x011A IPeak-Max-Charge 0 mA
0x011B IPeak-Max-Discharge 0 mA
0x011C IPeak-40ms_N 700 n [ = 28 sec ]

0x011D Warn KiloVAC OverCur-SD 50 n

0x011E Err KiloVAC OverCur-SD 0 n [0: Fkt. ausgeschaltet]
All three implemented over current switch-offs may be used simultaneously.
To set immediate-current-peak-switch-off out of function the parameters „ IPeak-Max-
Charge_Im” and/or „ IPeak-Max-Discharge_Im” have to be set to zero.
If „IPeak-40ms_N” is set to zero, the normal current-peak-switch-off is out of function.

Ref.: IR14488E 27.10.2016 Page 29/92

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

1.) Immediate-Current-Peak-Switch-Off:

If ICP -Switch-Off for Charge and/or Decharge is in function the periodically all 10 ms
sensed current is compared to the parameterised value and exceeding it will be
immediately switched off by opening the contactor contacts immediately and an error
frame will be sent out via CAN.
This is he fastest way to react in a event, e.g. on a short circuit.

2.) Current-Peak-Switch-Off:

This procedure can only be switched on or off for both, charging and discharging.
The contactor will be switched off if the limits of “IPeak-Max-Charge/Discharge“ will be
exceeded permanently for the time: parameter „IPeak-40ms_N“ multiplied with 40ms.

Exsample: IPeak-Max-Discharge = 10.000 und IPeak-40ms_N = 5:

If the BMS recognises a current impulse with a length of at least 200ms

permanently over 10A the contact will be opened immediately and an error
frame is transmittet via CAN bus.

3.) Over current detection:

This is default and cannot be switched off. The value of current during a cycle of
1000ms (which is the average of the last 100 current values: 1000ms/140ms) is
compared with the error and warning limits „Err-I-Max-Dis/Charge“ and „Warn-I-Max-
Dis/Charge“. Switch-off will be performed as described below.

BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

ATTENTION: a over current switch-off may damage the contactor as well as the
battery. The contacts only can perform a limited number of high current switch-offs
which will be added in the record “KiloVAC-Overcurrent-Shutdowns”. This will be
compared with the parameters „Err KiloVAC OverCur-SD“ and „Warn KiloVAC OverCur-SD“.
If the maximum number of switch-offs is reached the contact will never be switched on and
has to be replaced with e new one.
On the risk of the user the counter may be reset, e.g. if the contactor is beeing changed
ahead of time. (see: CAN DIAG FRAME Sub-Id: 0x17 )

Lifetime of a high voltage power contactor:

This contactor protect system can be disabled by setting the parameters “Err/Warn-KiloVAC
Overcurrent Shutdowns” to zero. This may be useful in BMS systems with a switching
hardware different to this contactor.

2.4.2. INSULATION MONITOR

If the voltage of the BMS application exceeds the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) of 60
VDC the usage of an insulation monitor is highly recommended, which measures the
insulation resistance from battery terminals to ground (GND).
Although the delay of the below-described insulation monitor is relatively high,
(sometimes more than 10 seconds) safety is clearly increased.
After power-on the insulation monitor it takes a certain time until the signals Iso-Alarm1
and Iso-Alarm2 are valid. The time delay differs with the type of insulation monitor and
some of them can be parameterized to keep the signal per default “on” or “off” while
starting. Other devices report an insulation fault in this phase.
The type mapping of the insulation monitor has been made in parameter 0x0346.

The following table describe the parameter of the insulation monitor.

Id Name Description

With insulation monitor PCB IR155-3200 ... 3204 by company Bender the measured
insulation resistance is transmitted as a pulse width modulated signal (PWM) to the BMS
Master. The first 2 seconds after power-on the insulation monitor IR155-3204 delivers
invalid values. From 2 to 7.5 seconds after power-on, it sends PWM coded whether there
is an insulation fault or not, but no correct values of the insulation resistance are

Ref.: IR14488E 27.10.2016 Page 33/92

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

available.
In parallel, this condition corresponds to the binary output channel "OK HS" of the
insulation monitor. At this time the insulation resistor value is invalid.
7.5 seconds after power-on it begins to send additionely to the binary signal line values of
the measured insulation resistance on the PWM output line to be evaluated by the BMS
Master.
At a measured insulation resistor value < (parameter 0x014D), the BMS Master sends an
ErrWrn CAN frame with the warning code 0x0800.
At a measured insulation resistor value < (parameter 0x014E), the BMS Master generates
an Insulation-Error and an ErrWrn CAN frame with the error code 0x0800.
If the isolation error longer than (parameter 0x020E) present, the BMS Master generates a
Shutdown Error. The HV contacts will be opened.
The parameter 0x020F define the signals to use in the BMS Master.
If the insulation monitor is powered via the ignition signal "Drive" or "PlugIn" which also
starts the BMS, the long start-up period prevents the starting of the BMS modes "Drive"
or "PlugIn". Once the insulation monitor has settled, it can be started with the CAN frame
"Reset Cmd Err". Alternatively, the insulation monitor may be supplied from another
source. The program can ignore a start-up insulation fault with parameter 0x0181.
The specification [0…126] seconds defines time whilst the reported insulation faults will be
ignored. The time starts either with system start (=ColdStart, symbol CS) or – when bit 8
is set in the parameter – with RESET (=FirstRun Symbol FS: ColdStart / CanResetErrCmd
/ Keyboard ‚R’ ) .

Special case: with 0x7F or 0xFF signals will always be ignored.

Furthermore the status and the actual insulation resistance may be accessed via CAN-bus
with DIAG-channel, SubID=0x44 :

2.4.3. MEASUREMENT OF CELL-VOLTAGES

The cell voltages are requested and evaluated in the main-loop of the main-task. Slave
one is responsible for cell 1 to 12, slave two for cell 13 ... 24. Additional configurations like
variable number of cells per slave or overlapped cell connections is available on demand
(see Hardware Manual). Depending on the actual current flow, the compare algorithm
takes care about the voltage drop across the internal resistor Ri.

NoCurrent (I≈0): Ucell_Min/Max_compare = Ucell_ Min/Max_measure

Charging (I>0): Ucell_ Min/Max_compare = Ucell- Min/Max_measure - abs(I) * Ri Ibat-0

Ri Ibat-0 = Ri-0-Charge Fakt(soc,temp) + Ri-0-Charge offset

*
If Use Ri-0-dyn charge = 0, then Fact(soc,temp) = 1.

Discharging (I<0): Ucell_compare = Ucell-measure + abs(I) * Ri-0-Discharge

Ri Ibat-0 = Ri-0-Discharge Fakt(soc,temp) + Ri-0-Discharge offset

*
If Use Ri-0-dyn discharge = 0, then Fact(soc,temp) = 1.

Cell“, ERROR „UCell Undervoltage“ will be generated.
The value of „End-U-Min-Cell“ has to be smaller than „Err-U-Min-Cell“.

2.4.3.2 OVERVOLTAGE

If any cell voltage is higher than the value in parameter „End-U-Max-Cell“ or „Err-U-Max-
Cell“, ERROR „UCell Overvoltage“ will be generated.
The value of „End-U-Max-Cell“has to be greater than „Err-U-Max-Cell“.

2.4.3.3 EXTENDED BATTERY ACCESS (EBA)

When the minimum cell volatage is lower than „Err-U-Min-Cell“ resp. the maximum cell
volatge is higher than „Err-U-Max-Cell“ the MASTER 04 generates an „UCell Undervoltage“
rsp. „UCell Overvoltage“ – Error.
The inner cell resistance is not considered, but only the measured cell voltage.
This should, under dependency on other parameters, lead to cut off of the main contactors
(SD-ERR).
To have the possibility, despite this state, to charge or discharge and thus to reactivate
the battery, with an Error Reset (via CAN ot by pressing ‘r’ on the RS232-terminal) the
EBA-mode may be activated.
In EBA-mode the main contactors will be switched on in spite of over- or undervoltage
condition. If no charge or discharge current will be detected within the time defined in
parameter „UCErr exp.timer“ (normally 10 sec.) a new „UCell Undervoltage–“ rsp. „UCell

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

Overvoltage“– error will be generated.

When within this time the minimum/maximum cell voltage is 50 mV higher/lower than
„Err-U-Min-Cell“ or „Err-U-Max-Cell“, the battery state is no longer critical and EBA-mode
will be finished. EBA-mode will be extended when there is a charge or discharge current
detected after elapse of “Ucerr_expand_timer”.
EBA-mode cannot be activated when any cell voltage is lower rsp. higher than defined in
parameters „End-U-Min-Cell“ rsp. „End-U-Min-Cell“.

Charge state:
The system not longer compares the Ucell-Max value and allows for a maximum time of
10 seconds (“Ucerr_expand_timer”) a maximum charge current of 100 mA (“Ucerr-I-
Charge_overflow”). If this time-limit or this current-limit has been exceeded, the battery
contactor will be switched off again and an error condition is generated once more.

Discharge state:
The system not longer compares the Ucell-Min value and allows for a maximum time of 10
seconds (“Ucerr_expand_timer”) a maximum discharge current of 2000 mA (“Ucerr-I-
discharge_underflow”). If this time-limit or this current-limit has been exceeded, the
battery contactor will be switched off again and an error condition is generated once more.

2.4.4. MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURES

There are two NTC’s per slave for the temperature measurement inside the battery-case.
The request for data and evaluation will be done in the main-loop of the main-task.
An additional temperature sensor is available on the masterboard, however, this
temperature is not used for the battery check algorithm and is for information only.

The BMS uses the Min, Max and Avg temperature - values in the safety and calculation
system. All temperature values with an invalid value (value out of range, sensor not
properly mounted or not present) are discarded in the Min, Max, Avg calculation so the
BMS can work anyway with at least one sensor.
This situation is marked in the Can error-/warning frame with the warn-bit “temperature
sensor fault” set.

Calculated values:

Temp-Avg average temperature -40.0 ... 159.9 0.1 ° Celsius

Temp-Min minimal temperature -40.0 ... 159.9 0.1 ° Celsius

2.4.5. MEASUREMENT OF THE SAFETY RESISTORS

A safety resistor has to be connected to each slave. Preferably this resistor consists of a
chain of PTC thermistors, one for each battery cell connected to the slave, a multifuse or
something similar. If the value of this resistor is not within the parameterised limits, this
will be interpreted as an error and the Fail-in input of the Master will be switched to GND.
( see also: IR12256 Hardware_Manual_BMS_Master_4 Chapter 3.2.4.8 to 3.2.4.10)

Calculated values:

RSafe-Avg average value of the safety resistors 0.0 ... 9999.9 Ω

2.4.6. SECURITY SWITCH

The Security Switch can connect to a BMS Master input (connector CN103 Pin 2). The software
can check the signal. If the security switch active the BMS Master generate a ERROR. The
polarity of the signal can be parameterised (parameter 0x013C).
Furthermore this error can be made a Shut-Down error by parameterising (parameter
0x013D).

In the table are the Security Switch Parameter described.

Id Name Description
0x013C Security Switch Polarity 0 – High active, 1 – Low active
0x013D Security Switch 0 – No, no shutdown in software
Shutdown Battery? 1 – Yes, battery is shutdown in software

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

2.5 ERRORS AND WARNINGS

In each cycle of the main program the BMS computes a number of actual values to
evaluate the condition of the battery. If one or more error limits have been exceeded the
errors will be announced and the error processing starts to switch off the contactors.
If a warning limit but not an error limit has been passed it will be indicated that something
has to be done to prevent the system from running into an unsafe state.
The BMS does not switch on a contactor if there is an error condition in the battery test
during the first test cycle. If the system is already running and an error occurs that causes
a shutdown and switches off the contactors the system may be switched on again with the
CAN frame “ResetError” if the faults have been cleared.

If there are actual or shutdown-errors or actual warnings the Master transmits periodically
each cycle (“Cycle-Time-TU”= 1000ms) the “Error/Warn” CAN frame.

For the processing of

 cell over and under voltages,

 extreme voltage differences of cells,
 over and under temperatures,
 inaccurate slave communication
 exceeding Rsave
 over current
 Insulation faults
 CAN Watch-Dog faults

And without error counting

 Security Switch (Master)

(in the following named error) the BMS uses a multiple stage processing.
Warning
With its lower limits the purpose of the “warning” is just for information. The next step is
the
Error
which will generate depending on the parameters the
Shut-Down-Error (SD-error)
that will finally lead to the isolation of the battery from load or charger after a
parameterized delay.

BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

2.5.1. ERROR COUNTING

The parameterising of the multiple stages processing as an example of a cell voltage error:

Depending on the number of its appearances the error will be evaluated.

For this purpose the parameter „SD Errorcounter Limit U” is relevant. It’s the limit of an
up/down counter incremented on an occurrence of this error within a cycle and
decremented without. When reaching its limits the counter generates a Shut-Down-Error.
Examples:
 With „SD Errorcounter Limit U: 1”
The SD-error will be generated within a single 1000ms cycle by a voltage error.
 With „SD Errorcounter Limit U: 5”
When reaching the value „5”, the counter will generate a SD-error. Each cycle
without the error will decrement the counter.

2.5.3. DELAYED SHUT-DOWN-TIME

After occurrence of an SD-error that leads to the isolation of the battery – inevitably in
„abort mode“- , there has to be an opportunity to reduce the charging or discharging
current in a limited time. That is the purpose of the selected time defined in the parameter
„Delayed Shutdown Time”.

2.5.4. SWITCH OFF (CONTACTORS SWITCH OFF):

2.5.4.1 SWITCH OFF IN FILTER-MODE

load or switch off the load before the BMS opens the contactors.
This is useful to avoid over-voltages.

2.5.4.2 SWITCH OFF IN ABORT-MODE

After the first occurrence of a Shutdown-Errors it will be switched off after expiring of the
ShutDown-Delay-Time even if the error may no longer exist ("AbortMode" in opposite to
"FilterMode").
To prohibit the switch off the BMS must receive within this delay time a CAN-DATA-frame:
"Abort of an active SD-Delay time".
The CAN-frame has to have the length 3 with the following bytes:
ID: DATA (RX, default 0x100)
Byte 0: 0x07 (Sub-ID)
Byte 1: 0x55

2.5.5. SUB-MODE „SWITCH-OFF-OMITTED“

In this mode the contactors will not be switched off after the detection of an error. As long
as this sum-mode is active errors are ignored. To use this attribute the system has not
necessarily to be parameterised to „CAN WDog-Mode“.

CAN:

WakeUp Sub-Id=0x04 CAN WatchDog Reset

t
1 Zyklus (1000ms)

As long as “CAN WDOG RESET with Switch off omitted” is received once per cycle it is
guaranteed that the BMS will not switch off the contactors.
If a ShutDown error occurred within this blockade it will be caught up after leaving this
mode, e.g. when changing to CAN WakeUp 0x04. This is effective always for SD-Delay
mode “AbortMode” – in “FilterMode” the error has to be uninterruptedly recognised during
the whole parameterised delay time.
To end this mode it is just to quit the transmission of the CAN frame. The BMS will react
within 1000ms to 2000ms (1 to 2 cycles). If the host synchronises the RESET frames to
the BMS ADS frames a reaction time of smaller than 1000ms is possible.

When leaving this mode the switch-off-delay time will be taken into account:

- if the error exists longer than the delay time it will be switched off instantly.

- If the error occurred recently and the switch-off-delay time has not expired
the remaining delay will be taken into account.

2.7.2. CALCULATION OF THE STATE OF HEALTH (SOH)

The calculation of the SOH is based on the counting of the charged Ampere Hours of the
cells and the parameter 0x0159 und 0x015A.

The descriptions of the parameter for State of Health (SOH) are shown in the next table.
Id Name Description
0x0159 Charged Ah per Charged Ampere Hours for the cells for a full cycle
Cycle Einheit: Ah
Value: 0 – disable
0x015A Cycles until SoH Number of Cycles of the cells until SOH 80%
80% Wert: 0 – disable

The SOH is calculated according to the equation:

SOH = 100% - ((100 – 80%) * Charge Ampere Hours / Charged Ah per Cycle / Cycles
until SoH 80%)

2.7.3. EVENT – MEMORY

A log of the last cycle is being stored in the EEPROM of the Master.
Every time the BMS has been switched off normally via „Start“, „PlugIn“ or CAN a new
record will be generated and stored in the first of three shift registers, after a shutdown
the record is stored in the first of another two shift registers.

Example of the five event registers:

2.7.4. CALCULATION OF THE PROGNOSIS

In particular if the battery is used as traction battery in vehicles, it is desirable for the
vehicle computer to be able to call information about the available powers and currents at
any time. The available power is the most decisive parameter for the energy management
of a vehicle. Thus, the battery management system performs such power prognoses in
real time on the basis of the acquired status data. The Figure below shows a simplified
representation of the used algorithm.

2.7.5. COUNTERS FOR AH AND KWH STATISTIC

For the complete lifetime period of the system the total sum of charged and discharged Ah
and kWh will be monitored with high resolution and stored in the statistical data area of
the EEPROM.
As an addition, this is also done for the total sum of time the system has been in the
different states (charge/discharge/No current). These counters may be reset by a special
CAN-Frame.

Calculated values:

2.7.6. BALANCE SYSTEM

The balance system has to bring the actual cell voltage difference to a value given by the
parameter „Cell Voltage Difference Max“ (parameter 0x0127). This is done during the
automatic cell balance mode.
Preconditions:
The balance system is only active if the current higher as „Min Current for Balance“
(Parameter 0x0133) and lower as „Max Current for Balance“ (Parameter 0x0143) and the
minimum time „Stable Window Min Time“ (Parameter 0x0144) is reached. Is the current
not in the limits the cell balance is stopped.
No cell voltage must not lower as “Min Cell Voltage, Stop Balance“ (Parameter 0x02D3).
The voltage of the balanced cell must higher than „Cell Voltage Min“ (Parameter: 0x0128).
Cells with a voltage lower than „Cell Voltage Min“ are not balanced, so the goal cannot be
reached under all circumstances. To balance the cells a minimum of cell voltage/cell
capacity is necessary.

The first action of the system after start-up (by CAN/RTC/”Start”/”PlugIn”) is to reset the
balance system adjustment. After having finished the evaluation of the first measurement
cycle, the balance system sets a new adjustment if needed and the current is higher than

Ref.: IR14488E 27.10.2016 Page 58/92

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

in parameter 0x0133 defined. This adjustment stays active for at least „DisLog_IdleCnt”
measurement cycles as long as the system does not change to the state ‘discharge’. After
this period a new adjustment is evaluated.In this mode the higher voltage cells will be
discharged until the goal is reached ( Ucell_min + DisLog_DeltaUc > all Ucells).

Discharge until here

UcellMin + DisLog_DeltaUc

DisLog_MinUc

UcellMin

The balance system is active even when the master is inactive, because the individual cell
discharges are served by the slaves. Every 10 minutes („RTC_Wakup_short“) the master
is awoken by the RTC to check if the actual balance system adjustment is still correct or
must be modified. If there is no further need to equalise cells, the next RTC wakeup will
be in 240 minutes („RTC-Wakeup_long“).

A special case is the CAN-Msg. ‘Shutdown with Balance System disable’. If the master is
set to power down mode with this command, it is guaranteed that for the next 10 minutes
all slaves do not have active discharge flags. Use this command if the master must be
switched off from slaves or power supply (KL30) for a longer time!

The discharge current used by the balance system is about 60 mA for each cell. If there is
no communication with the master any more the slaves themselves end the balancing
after about 40 minutes.

The table describes the cell balance parameter.

3.1 LINEAR MODEL

In the linear model all Slaves have the same number of cells connected.
If parameter P0x0340 is set to „0“ the Flat Model is selected and the parameters are used:
- P0x0301, Number of Slaves
- P0x0302, Number of cells
- P0x0303, Cells per Slave

3.2 SEGMENTED BATTERY MODEL

3.2.1. MODEL – DEFINITION

This model is formed on the basis of the following premises:

- up to 12 cells (depending on Slave Type) can be connected to one slave
- a module consists of a series of one up to 16 slaves possibly with different numbers of
cells per slave.
- a string consists of a series of modules ( 1… )
- a battery consists of a multiple (parallel connection) of strings ( 1… )

For the determination of the structure the following software conditions have to be observed
(depending on Slave Type):
- number of cells per slave : 5 up to 12 cells
- number of slaves per module : 1 up to 16 slaves
- number of modules per string : at least 1
- number of strings per battery : at least 1
- total number of slaves : 1 to maximum 32
- total number of cells : 5 to maximum 384

With the proper choice of parameters the „Segmented Model“ may emulate nearly every “Flat
Model”. It is recommended to parameterise always the „Segmented Model“.

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

0x0340 Use segmented BattModel 1 enable

0x0341 Number of par. Strings 2
0x0342 Number of ser. Moduls 3
0x0343 Cells per Slave 1-8 0x00000788
0x0344 Cells per Slave 9-16 0x00000000
0x0347 Cells per Slave 17-24 0x00000000
0x0348 Cells per Slave 25-32 0x00000000

If parameter 0x340 is set to „1“ the “Segmented Model” is activated.

- the parameters 0x301-0x303 are not used

- 0x341 defines the number of parallel strings
- 0x342 defines the number of modules per string
- 0x343 and 0x0344 define the structure of a module:
o the number of cells can be defined for up to 16 slaves
o the number of cells per slave has to be read from right (-) to left (+)
o for the 1st 8 slaves the number is defined in Slave 1-8, for the 2nd 8 in Slave 9-
16 ….
o range of values for number of slaves : 5…..C (hexadecimal)
o Example : “00000000” - "00000788“ = a module consists of three slaves:
 Slave-No 1 is connected to 8 cells,
 Slave-No 2 is connected to 8 cells,
 Slave-No 3 is connected to 7 cells.

The system password is required to change the new parameters.

3.3 SPECIAL FEATURES

3.3.1. U-BATT
The BMS doesn’t take measurement of the whole battery voltage but always the voltage of
each single cell. Hence the voltages of slaves, modules, strings and battery are always
calculated values. Constitutive for the allocation are:

1.) the definition of the structure

2.) the addressing of the slaves

A proper adjustment of the slaves’ addresses is basically for the correct mapping of the
structure. It is imperative:

- Within a string - over all modules - from minus to plus the addresses have to be in
ascending order.
- Each parallel connected string starts at the negative pole with the increment (+1) of the
highest address of the preceding string.

U Battery is calculated with the sum of all cells divided by the number of parallel strings.

3.3.2. I-BATT AT PARALLEL STRINGS

The battery sensor has to be placed in the mains of the battery (I Battery).
For easy reconfiguring a parallel connection still all current specifically parameters apply to a
single string. The system calculates the current per string with dividing I Battery by the

Ref.: IR14488E 27.10.2016 Page 67/92

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

number of all parallel strings. This value is used only internally.

The following parameters always only refer to the current of a single string:

example values
0x0100 Capacity 216000000 mAs 60.00 Ah
0x0114 Err-I-Max-Charge 101000 mA 1.68 C
0x0115 Err-I-Max-Discharge 151000 mA 2.52 C
0x0116 Warn-I-Max-Charge 81000 mA 1.35 C
0x0117 Warn-I-Max-Discharge 121000 mA 2.02 C
0x0118 IPeak-Max-Charge_Im 200000 mA 3.33 C
0x0119 IPeak-Max-Discharge_Im 200000 mA 3.33 C

0x011B IPeak-Max-Discharg 61000 mA 1.02 C
0x0121 IBat-Ignore 9 mA
0x0125 I-Bat0 100 mA
0x0133 Dislog Activ if IBat > 0 mA

All details of the power prognosis as well as statistics only refer to I Battery.

4. CAN-TRANSFER

4.1 LITTLE ENDIAN

In all CAN-Frames the “Little Endian”-Format is used with the least significant byte (LSB)
placed in the lowest CAN-data-byte.

Example: CanFrameId: 0x101 Data bytes: 0:Sub-ID 1:0x44 2:0x33 3:0x22 4:0x11

BMS TX ID: 0x101; TxDATA

1 I-Bat 8 1 Current SOC

0x44 0x33 0x22 0x11

Current = 0x11223344

4.2 PARAMETERS
Parameters:

0x030A CAN Btr0 Btr1 0xC149 250 kbps

0x030B CAN IDs ErrWrn 0x000 (BMS response 0x001)
0x030C CAN IDs Wakeup 0x010 (BMS response 0x011)
0x030D CAN IDs Data 0x100 (BMS response 0x101)
0x030E CAN IDs Diag 0x102 (BMS response 0x103)
0x030F CAN IDs PCM 0x104 (BMS response 0x105)

The system password is required to change these parameters. The changes will take effect
after being written back to and restart of the Master. For this it may be necessary to
modify the remote CAN-station as well.

If CAN parameters a “ill-configurated” and no CAN communication is longer available the

Master has to be reset by flashing of an older program version by changing the data-
space-number (0x0300= Version DataSp.:).

Software Manual
BMS Master 4 / 4.5.5

4.3 CAN BAUDRATE

The values in the bit timing registers BTR0 and BTR1 define both the CAN baud rate as
well as the sample point. Both 8-bit values are put together in the 16-bit word in the PCM
parameter 0x030A : ( BTR0 << 8 ) + (BTR1)

0xC149 -> BTR0 = 0xC1 BTR1 = 0x49

Examples of conventional baud rates:

100 kbps 0xC35C (word) BTR1=0x5C BTR0=C3

125 kbps 0xC349 (word) BTR1=0x49 BTR0=C3
250 kbps 0xC149 (word) BTR1=0x49 BTR0=C1
500 kbps 0xC049 (word) BTR1=0x49 BTR0=C0
1000 kbps 0x4014 (word) BTR1=0x14 BTR0=40

4.4 CAN IDENTIFIER

The location of the five communication channels of the BMS may be changed one by one
with the Webserver (system password necessary):

0x030B= CAN IDs ErrWrn : 0x000 (response at: 0x001)

0x030C= CAN IDs Wakeup : 0x010 (response at: 0x011)
0x030D= CAN IDs Data : 0x100 (response at: 0x101)
0x030E= CAN IDs Diag : 0x102 (response at: 0x103)
0x030F= CAN IDs PCM : 0x104 (response at: 0x105)

There is alone the ID of the receiving channel parameterised. The answer will always be
transmitted by the BMS on receiving channel ID + 1.

Different applications:

1.) Example: all BMS CAN IDs shall be continuous without gap from 0x100 :

0x030B= CAN IDs ErrWrn : 0x100 (Antwort auf: 0x101)

0x030C= CAN IDs Wakeup : 0x102 (Antwort auf: 0x103)
0x030D= CAN IDs Data : 0x104 (Antwort auf: 0x105)
0x030E= CAN IDs Diag : 0x106 (Antwort auf: 0x107)
0x030F= CAN IDs PCM : 0x108 (Antwort auf: 0x109)

2.) Example: two BMSs shall work together at a single CAN bus:

BMS 1:

0x030B= CAN IDs ErrWrn : 0x100 (Antwort auf: 0x101)

0x030C= CAN IDs Wakeup : 0x102 (Antwort auf: 0x103)
0x030D= CAN IDs Data : 0x104 (Antwort auf: 0x105)

3.) Example: four BMSs shall work together at a single CAN bus while keeping their CAN
priorities :

BMS1 BMS2 BMS3 BMS4

0x030B = CAN IDs ErrWrn 0x000 0x002 0x004 0x006
0x030C = CAN IDs Wakeup 0x010 0x012 0x014 0x016

0x030F = CAN IDs PCM 0x120 0x122 0x124 0x126

Remark:
The transmitting channel „CAN ID ErrWrn + 1“ is used by BMS for automatically
transmitted diagnosis information (ADS-MODE), for this purpose the desired DIAG-Sub-
Ids 0x1E0 .. 0x1E7 have to be set in the table.

4.5 ADS AUTO DIAGNOSE SEND

All Diag frames that need parameters except the Sub-ID may be sent with ADS.
ADS transmits data during each cycle without needing a prior request.
sendet Daten je Zyklus, ohne dass vorher eine Anfrage erfolgen muss. There are two
activators fort both this services which may be used each alone or both together:

1. Parameterising the desired values in the ADS-Table (0x01E0 bis 0x01E7)

2. Transmission of the DIAG-FRAMES Sub-ID 0x40 „Setting of Runtime-ADS Table“

In the same order the responding DIAG frames will be transmitted in each cycle.

0x0146 ADS / ADS-RT method ? 0 compatible

Mode 0 : CAN-ID Fix, compatible mode
All ADS Information will be sent to the same CAN-ID (ErrWrn+1). The receptor has to
accept the incoming frames immediately.

0x0146 ADS / ADS-RT method ? 1 Fix+Lfd.Nr

Mode 1 : CAN-Id: Fix+Lfd.Nr
Similar to mode 0, however, the number of the transmission order will be added to the
CAN-ID. As there are up to 8 ADS and 7 ADS-RT frames possible there is a range of
[0…14] for the transmission numbers.

0x0146 ADS / ADS-RT method ? 2 CAN-Id: Fix+SubId

Mode 2 : CAN-Id: Fix+SubId
Similar to mode 0, however, the Sub-ID itself will be added to the CAN-ID.

4.6 CAN FRAMES

If the BMS gets a request before the former has been answered, the answer of the former
request will be omitted i.e. the BMS only answers the last request (Diagnosis-request &
Data-request)
Here it shows the advantage of the ADS procedure, with which all parameterized data will
be sent automatically and synchronously to the measurement cycle which is not
guaranteed for cyclical requests.
After computing a measurement cycle the following frames will be transmitted by the BMS
without request:
- CAN ERR/WRN Frame, if appropriate: (on errors or warnings)
- DIAG-TX of ADS Tabel entrys, if parameterized
- DIAG-TX of ADS-Runtime Tabel entrys when set during.

The CAN-Frames are described with different lengths (len = {1,2,3,8}) in this
document.
For all frames sent to the BMS it is alternatively possible to use the length
(len = 8) and fill all unused bytes at will.
With the only exception of WakeUp-Acknowlege-Frames (len = 1) the BMS generally sends
frames of length (len = 8).

4.6.7. PRECHARGE FRAME

In the “PreCharge Phase” (see above) the battery is connected to load or charge over a
resistor to reduce the inrush current.
The precharge contactor makes this connection and when the voltage has risen to a
defined value the resistor will be bridged by contactor+ and the precharge contactor
opens. The value of the precharge voltage has to be transmitted by the host via CAN.

PreChargeV 0x106 RX Information for BMS: voltage of external dc – voltage - link

Length Byte0 Byte1 Byte2 Byte3 Byte4 Byte5 Byte6 Byte7

1 Precharge Voltage [10mV] ≥2 voltage [U16]

4.6.8. CAN ESS2

Communication channel ESS2 may be used to control all cell voltages. For this parameter
„CAN-ESS2“ must contain a valid (non-zero) CAN-Frame-ID.
The battery type has no meaning as the amount of frames corresponds with parameter
„Number of Cells“.

0x0317 CAN-ESS2 deactivated when 0x00

With „CAN-ESS2“ non-zero, the BMS sends the value of all cell voltages cyclically every
second with this CAN-ID. The first CAN-Frame contains SUB-ID 0x01 and the values of cell
1 to 3, the next CAN-Frame contains SUB-ID 0x02 and cell voltages 4 to 6 and so on.

The values are transmitted as Millivolts with 16 bit resolution in 2 bytes (LittleEndian).
Byte 7 shows the cell’s balance state.:
 Bit 0: Cell 3*n - 2 : HIGH = Balancing active
 Bit 1: Cell 3*n - 1 : HIGH = Balancing active
 Bit 2: Cell 3*n : HIGH = Balancing active

4.7 CAN WATCH DOG MODE:

0x013F CAN WatchDog mode ? 1 yes, enabled

The system always starts with an error (Watchdog Error).

If the error is not longer active the still lasting shut-down error has to be reset with the
Reset-Error CAN-Frame to switch on again.
This starts the sequence of the contactors.
-1: At least once per BMS Cycle (1000ms) the host has to transmit special information to
the BMS via CAN-bus, otherwise the BMS switches off the contactors.
To show this condition Bit 14 in the frames SHUTDOWN-ERR / ACTUAL-ERR is used as a
signal by BMS.
-2: If the BMS gets started (same of with ”Start”, ”PlugIn” or CAN-WAKEUP) the
Watchdog-Bit (SHUTDOWN-ERR/ACTUAL-ERR) always is set. Therefore all functionality is
given but the contactors are not switched because of the simulated shut-down error.
-3: The host now should start the periodical transmission of the “CAN-WatchDog”-frame.
The periodical transmission may have started without problems before the switch on.
The error situation now is:
Err/Warn-frame: 0 X 4000 0000 0000 ...
! SD-Err: ERR : CAN-WatchDog-Error
! ActErr: ERR : non, cause of the periodical “CAN-WatchDog”-frame by host.

-4: As there is no "Actual Error", the contactors may be activated with the standard BMS
command: (Id=0xXXX [DATA-FRAME], SubId=0x06, length=3, 0x06, 0x55, 0xAA ).
-5: To switch off the contactors just stop the periodical “CAN-WatchDog”-frame by host.
As mentioned above the BMS will react within 1000ms...2000ms (1 to 2 cycles). If
otherwise the host synchronyses the messages with the BMS-ADS messages a reaction
earlier than 1000ms is possible.

Conclusion: The BMS switches on the contactors only when there is no actual error AND
the host transmits the error-reset information. The benefit of this procedure is that still
the BMS may be activated alternatively with ”Start”, ”PlugIn” or CAN-WakeUp.
