Battery charger and BMS adjustment
The charging process must be controlled by an
external Battery Management System (BMS),
connected and adjusted to the battery. The
chargers covered in this manual do not have any
internal integrated BMS system, which means
that an external BMS system must be used. The
BMS can either communicate with the charger via
serial data communication (CAN bus), by analog
I/O functions or both in combination.
When CAN bus is used, the charger and the
charging process is controlled by the BMS system
and the battery charger uses given values from
the BMS system to charge the battery. While con-
trolling the charger and charging process via CAN
bus, the BMS system must be able to disconnect
the charger and load from the battery by external
switches in case of emergency.
Before start charging
Ensure that the battery is equipped with a suitable
and adjusted BMS, that the conditions for the
charging processes are met and that the charger
is adjusted for correct:
•
Serial data communication.
•
Analog I/O functions (if used).
WARNING
Incorrect settings of the battery charger may dam-
age the battery. Always check settings before
start charging.
