5.3.1Link Port andAutomatic Coding Function
Link Port In / Link Port Out Communicationfollow RS485 protocol, for
communicationbetween multiple parallel batteries.
After confirming the wiring is correct(refer to section 5.3.1), long press the startup
button of theMaster PACK,after normal startup, the parallel battery system will
automatically code and assign ID to each parallel PACK, and then the parallel
system will run normally(refer to section 5.2.1).
5.3.2CAN / RS485 Port
CAN / RS485 Communication Terminal(RJ45 port) follow CAN protocol / RS485
protocol, connect to communication port.
1、BMS controls the charging current/charging voltage or discharge
current/discharge cut-off voltage of the PCS through CAN communication
according to the battery voltage and battery temperature.
2、If the battery capacity is less than 8%, BMS controls the PCS to make
compulsory recharge through the CAN communication to avoid the damage
of the battery due to deep discharge.
3、If SOC was less than 97% for one consecutive month, BMS controlled PCS
