Caution:
The
UPS PIco HV3.0 HAT
PCB has declared always the default battery
chemistry type, and when firmware update is executed the battery chemistry is always
changed to PCB defaults, therefore it is needed to re-declare the battery type after
firmware update to the used one by the system. Some industrial customers have
default declared the LiFePO4 in their systems, but usual the default battery chemistry
is LiPO.
UPS PIco HV3.0 HAT Measuring and Monitoring System
The
UPS PIco HV3.0
offer to the user an extended Measuring and Monitoring System
that measure and report many system parameters trough installed sensors. Each
sensor is reporting the
UPS PIco HV3.0 HAT
status via dedicated variables. In addition
there is access to the integrated 12 bits 3 x A/D converters. All monitoring system data
are collected in a single entity called
PIco Status
and exists at the I
2
C address
0x69
.
Detailed specifications for each variable (register) as also examples are provided in
next pages. The sensors are:
•
Powering Mode
•
System Variable Changed
•
System Error
•
Battery Powered Available Running Time (calculated on battery capacity and
system current consumption)
•
Battery Level
•
Raspberry Pi® GPIO 5V Level
•
External Powering Level
•
Incoming (from Raspberry Pi® GPIO 5V) current
