1 Glossary
The basic electrochemical unit that can receive, store, and deliver electrical
energy.
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.
Two or more blocks connected in series.
A complete system of parallel connected strings.
Data logger that periodically communicates with PowerShield Hubs and
PowerShield mSensors to obtain system measurements.
A remote sensor that is connected to the blocks.
It periodically measures the block voltage, ohmic value and temperature.
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.
A daisy chain communication bus used between the PowerShield Controller
and PowerShield Hubs or PowerShield mSensors.
