Conditions for issuing a READY announcement:
Either of the following conditions needs to met:
•
the value of the ID register, hold in non-volatile memory, is 0 - indicating a
virgin/unassigned Unit
•
the status of the RESET flag is Active - indicating a Reset was requested by the OCS.
On receiving a command to Reset, the Sentinel unit asserts the RESET flag prior to
perform a soft-reset. After making the READY announcement, it deactivates this flag.
The READY announcement includes the software revision number, SW, coded as :
bits <4..0> = SWMin4 .. SWMin0: revision minor part (Min)
bits <7..5> = SWMaj2 .. SWMaj0: revision major part (Maj)
The software revision is then reported as “Maj.Min”, for instance:
0x2a = 00101010 means 1.10 ;
0x2b = 00101011 means 1.11
3.3 Specific I-Link Commands & Responses
I-Link modules are connected on dedicated S-Bus link, with exactly same characteristics.
Moreover, commands and responses sent on this communication link have same format than
those described before for Sentinel modules.
The two signals required to be measured are hereby designated
Float
current, and
Charge/
Discharge
current.
Command set for
I-Link
devices:
byte2 value meaning
0x40
Measure Charge/Discharge current and store value
0x41
Measure Float current and store value
0x42
Reserved
0x20
Transmit Charge/Discharge current from stored value
0x21
Transmit Float current from stored value
0x22
Reserved
0x60
Measure and Transmit Charge/Discharge current (+storage)
0x61
Measure and Transmit Float current (+storage)
0x62
Reserved
0xA0
Assign ID
0xFF
Soft Reset
Any other value is not user available and is purely
forbidden
, as reserved for test purpose
(may have dramatic effects).
Note: Commands 0x22, 0x42, 0x62 serve no function.
The controller must not to issue such
a command to an I-Link module.
