Note
The individual BACS modules can be combined in so-called strings - the modules are logically divided into individual groups and
displayed and measured accordingly. This logical assignment works on this principle:
Number of registered modules divided by number of strings gives the number of modules per string.
When setting up the modules, make sure that the logical assignment matches the physical structure:
The order of the modules within a string are less important for the function of BACS, but if the modules' position differs physically and
logically, measurement and control errors will occur. Due to a wrong construction, the strings can be randomly thrown together and lead
into problems with battery string breakers, current sensors, etc.
Changing a single ID of a BACS module
The "Single" function allows you to set and change individual
module IDs of BACS modules.
This function provides 3 different options:
- Switch an ID to another
- Switch an ID to 0
- Swicth an ID from ID 0 to a target ID
The procedure is identic to all three options:
Under Old, enter the current ID that you want to change. Under New, enter the target ID to which you want to set the BACS module.
Unlike standard addressing, this mode requires no action on site at the BACS module.
Resetting module ID‘s
If necessary, the BACS modules can be returned individually or completely to the delivery state. Depending on the procedure, only the
ID will be changed or by pressing the modules button for 20 seconds, the modules will perform a hardware reset and falls back to the
default ID 0.
Resetting all modules or an address range to factory default
This action will reset all specified ID's directly to factory default 0 as soon as you press Start. The modules will visually confirm the reset
with flashing slowly red.
Setting one single ID back to 0
Resetting a single module can be done by two different methods:
1. Use the BACS programmer
You can specifically reset a BACS module to 0 in this way. As a consequence, the BACS module will slowly flash red. This is
useful if you want to swap a module, but you want it to be reset to the factory default state for later use within other
installation.
By doing so, it is ensured that the ID is no longer in use before you remove the module..
2. Press the BACS module button for about 20 seconds
With this option, the BACS module will be forced to reset on the hardware side. Accordingly, all information contained in the
module is deleted.
Finding modules
Large BACS installations can be very confusing for new guys.
In order to locate a specific BACS module within all the strings, the
programmer offers a fast and convenient solution:
Under Query you can optically flash individual modules with a red flashing.
This will help you to find the according battery you wish to maintenence.
Simply enter the ID of the module you are looking for and click on "Show" -
the module will start blinking slowly red/green.
The module you are looking for will blink accordingly. You can choose between these two options
1. Go to the BACS module and press the button.
Pressing the confirmation button on the module itself will release
the search function and the module falls back to normal operation mode.
2. At BACS Webmanager, press OK to confirn search is over.
