Please note that the button generally describes the state that is currently available. While the Programmer is active, BACS pauses –
the current system state can be seen at the top status bar oft he Webmanager:
The top bar shows that the BACS Programmer is now active and
normal BACS operation is paused.
The top bar shows that BACS has started and is in regular
operation and the BACS programmer is off.
Two conditions will disable the BACS programmer and enable regular BACS functions:
1. Cold start or reboot
During a cold start, the device is de-energized briefly and then reboots. A reboot will be adviced ba an administrator via tools
or directly via the web browser reboot command. In both cases, the default startup setting will start without a the BACS
programmer set to on.
2. Enable or disable manually
The BACS Programmer does not have an automatic activation function - it is started manually by an authorized user and must
be terminated accordingly. If you log off as an administrator from the system, the BACS Programmer remains active, even if
you subsequently log in as an engineer.
Note
Always remember to disable the BACS programs after using. An internal watchdog will permanently look if there is activity on the BACS
bus. After 15 minutes without some kind of activity, this watchdog will assume something is wrong and trigger reboot.
Once you enable the feature, the BACS Web Manager will adjust its BACS status accordingly:
Normal operation and any communication on the BACS bus is paused by user for maintenance work. After finishing maintenance work,
the BACS programmer will be disabled and normal operation starts. The BACS bus watch dog is not part of the CS141 - it is placed on
the BACS Bus Converter and will interpret the entire communication between CS141 and the BACS modules - and restart the CS141 in
case of a communication failure.
Addressing modules
Change the ID
During initial commissioning, the BACS modules must receive a unique ID in order to be able to register with the BACS Web Manager.In
general, these addresses are static, but each BACS module can be resetted to factory default or programmed to any other ID.
Because reprogramming is possible, setting up an ID follows specific installation rules:
1. Each ID is unique and it is not allowed to set up one ID twice.
Duplicate registrations will produce errors when initializing BACS because the modules can not be uniquely assigned to a
battery.
2. Only sequentially numbered IDs are allowed inside the BACS network.
The IDs are assigned to a specific battery a BACS module is connected to. If 25 BACS modules are expected, 25 batteries
are mandatory. You can not "turn on" module ID 26 with a new battery and "turn off" the battery with the BACS module ID 17.
You need to reassign the module-ID 17 to the new battery.
3. The highest ID number defines the number of batteries you want to install.
BACS will not scan for 25 batteries with a connected BACS modules, it will exclusive look for 25 batteries with the BACS
modules ID's 1-25.
