Battery Settings
TABLE 1. Battery Settings
Setpoint Range Default Description
PLM Channel 1 – 12 1
Channel for REbus communications. All devices in a
system must use the same channel (except REbus
Beacon).
MinSocAbsl 0 – 20% 2
Minimum state of charge (SOC) absolute- this is the
percentage of charge the battery will discharge to
while the system is in Island Mode.
MaxSocAbsl 10 – 100% 100
Maximum state of charge (SOC) absolute- this is the
percentage of charge the battery will charge to.
MinSocRsrv 0 – 90% 30
Minimum state of charge (SOC) reserve- this is the
percentage of charge the battery will discharge to
using Self-Supply Mode.
MaxSocRsrv 10 – 100% 100
Maximum state of charge (SOC) reserve- when bat-
tery SoC reaches this value, PV power is diverted
from charging the battery to powering local loads sav-
ing battery capacity for future charging. When excess
power might otherwise be clipped, this extra capacity
can be used to absorb peak PV.
DschgCurLim 0 – 35 Amps 35
The battery stack will charge up to this current limit
continuously after power has been converted from
REbus.
ChgCurLim 0 – 35 Amps 35
The battery stack will charge up to this current limit
continuously after power has been converted from
REbus.
Sleep Time 1 – 720 Minutes 60
Length of time the battery will sleep for upon reaching
its MinSocAbsl while in island mode. Battery will wake
up every hour for four minutes to power search.
PowSrch Time 10 – 900 Seconds 240
Power search setting is the length of time the battery
will wake up from sleeping to search for PV power on
REbus for charging.
Module Vset 40.0 – 55 Volts 46.5
Voltage level the battery will drain its modules to upon
initiating the Vset procedure. See
Upgrading PWR-
cell Battery.
