1 Glossary
Cell
The basic electrochemical unit that can receive, store, and deliver electrical
energy.
Block
One or more cells in a container also known as a battery.
The terms block and jar are interchangeable.
For this manual the term has been standardised as block to avoid using the
somewhat unwieldy convention of "block/jar" throughout.
String
Two or more blocks connected in series.
Battery Bank
A complete system of parallel connected strings.
PowerShield Controller
Data logger that periodically communicates with PowerShield Hubs and
PowerShield mSensors to obtain system measurements.
PowerShield mSensor
A remote sensor that is connected to the blocks.
It periodically measures the block voltage, ohmic value and temperature.
PowerShield Hub
A remote sensor that can be used to measure string current and ambient
temperature of the battery bank.
mSensors can be connected to it so that they share the same
communication cable from the PowerShield Controller.
BBus
A daisy chain communication bus used between the PowerShield Controller
and PowerShield Hubs or PowerShield mSensors.
