BACS module basic setting
Module
Different voltages on the batteries require different BACS modules - please ensure to select the BACS module type fitting to your
batteries. Depending on the voltage selected for the batteries, it will display modules fitting to the voltage. Currently the following
modules and voltages are available:
Cell Voltage Selectable module
2 V C40 / C42
4 V C41
6 V C30
12 V C20 / C21 / CSYM
16 V C23
24 V CSYM
Obey the correct settings. An unsuitable combination of UPS, modules and batteries may lead into system failure and damage.
Equalizing on
Equalizing is a patented voltage distribution control system inside a battery pack, the batteries will differ from each other. As a
consequence, they need individual regulation of charging voltage to reach the target charging voltage of the charge controller.
Since Equalizing intervenes in the charging circuit and actively regulates,
it may be necessary for new installations to operate the batteries for some time without this regulation. This will allow batteries to "form"
up each other. During this time window, new batteries will be operated without regulation, the voltage differences need to be tolerated.
Please contact your battery manufacturer if their battery products need such a time window and how long it should take until Equalizing
can take over in order to protect your batteries.
The installation of the BACS modules as well as fetching measuring data with the BACS system is completely independent to equalizing
- you can install and operate all BACS modules without charging control and active regulation. Equalizing can be activated at any time.
If activated, BACS will take over the care of the batteries.
Optimize Scan
Normally, only a small amount of data is collected and stored during trickle charging. Since the parameters of the battery will not change
very much during a trickle charge, only a small amount of data is collected and stored. This will change during discharging:
When discharging, considerable amounts of data are generated. Furthermore, BACS increases the sampling rate in order to record the
event as accurately as possible during an evaluation by addional freewaer tool BACS VIEWER. The scan optimization reduces the data
points to the measurement of voltage values. by doing so, changes in a discharge cycle can be recorded much more accurately.
Discharge Detection source
BACS offers alternative options to differentiate between a charge and discharge cycle. By default, BACS will automatically select the
best source and, if necessary, query alternative sources:
- UPS
The UPS provides the fastest and most reliable detection rate due to the fact it will switch in case of a powerfail to battery
mode. Depending on the design, the BACS system can use the CS141 slot card, an RS232 interface or even the RFC1628
network interface in the network to obtain the information, amon other useful information, about detecting a discharge.
