For example
When the external monitoring equipment needs to obtain battery data through RS485 interface , the PACK
address range is 2-15, please set it in sequence . For example , to obain the PACK data of address 0 ,
follow these steps：
step1、Issue the confirm PACK address command with address 2 .If there is a correct response , the PACK
with address 2 can communicate normally. If no response is received ,steps2 and 3 are not required.(This
step is not required. You can directly perform steps 2 and 3)
7E 32 35 30 32 34 36 39 30 30 30 30 30 46 44 41 34 0D
step2、Issue the command to obtain the PACK analog quantity with address 2：
7E 32 35 30 32 34 36 34 32 45 30 30 32 30 32 46 44 32 45 0D
step3、Issue the command to obtain the PACK alert quantity with address 2：：
7E 32 35 30 32 34 36 34 34 45 30 30 32 30 32 46 44 32 43 0D
To obtain the PACK data of other addresses , replace the ADR and INFO fields with the corresponding addresses
(marked in red in the preceding example)and calculate the correct CHKSUM

Remark:
when communication debugging between monitoring equipment and BMS by RS485,we should pay attention to
this situation:
1、 We should know the BMS is working or not, which can be judged by LED. if all LED is closed , we can
push the key at 3-6 seconds to wake up the BMS.
2、 Whether the address dialing switch is set correctly. The address setting range is 0-15 . Avoid setting
the address to the same situation . For products without address dialing switch , the default address
is 0 . The DIP switch is binary . For more information ,see product specifications.
3、 Corfirm whether RS485 connection is correct ?
4、 We should confirm that the monitoring equipment’s RS485 baud is suitable with specification.
5、 When parsing data , be careful to distinguish whether it is signed data ,and do not miss parsing INFOFLAG

1、Physical interface and Communication mode
1.1 Physical interface
锋
The serial communication mode is adopted for Physical Interface,which is adopted by standard RS485
communication [Link] provides a information transmission methods by Asynchronous mode,a start bit,8data
bits，a stop bit,no check bit .The data transmission rate is 9600。
赣
1.2 Communication mode
The Communication mode adopts the Master-Slave response [Link] the PC software or monitoring
供
equipment initiates communication command as the host,the BMS responds the return command as the [Link]
4
仅
battery packs are slave PACK，and their address rangs from 0 to [Link] you need to communicate with the
external monitoring device through the RS485 interface of BMS，the external monitoring device is the host，
and the host cyclically polls each PACK of data. if the host don’t receive the response caomand or error
information in 500 ms when the host has sent the [Link] this case,this communication will be failed。

ADR- battery pack address，the master PACK address is always set to 1,the salve pack address range is
2~15，Address 0 is used as a stand-alone machine。When the pack is used in parallel, avoid setting the
address to the same. The slave pack only responds to commands that match its address。

2.3 Data Format
2.3.1 Basic data Format
锋
Beyond that the SOI and EOI is transmitted by 16-hex format,other items is transmitted by 16-hex ascii
[Link] byte uses two ascii,for example,when the CID2 = 4BH,the 34H and 42H will be transmitted in
two bytes.

LCHKSUM LENID（means the information’s ascii bytes）
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
2.3.3 LEDID
LENID means the ascii byte number of INFO,when LENID = 0,that means INFO is [Link] data bytes is not
uppt to 4096.
High byte is sent at first and low byte is sent at second for LENGTH information with four ASCII code
2.3.4 LCHKSUM
The calculation method of check code：D11D10D9D8+D7D6D5D4+D3D2D1D0
After sum, module 16 takes inverse plus 1
For example：
INFO:ASCII code number is 18，that’s LENID＝0000 0001 0010B。
D11D10D9D8+D7D6D5D4+D3D2D1D0＝0000B＋0001B＋0010B＝0011B，module 16 is 0011B，0011B takes inverse plus
1 is 1101B，so LCHKSUM is 1101B。
so：LENGTH is 1101 0000 0001 0010B，that’s D012H.
2.4 CHKSUM data Format
CAll char ascii code is calculated for sum without SOI,EOI and CHKSUM，the result module 65536 takes
inverse plus 1。
For example：
When send or receive the data sequence：
“~1203400356ABCEFEFC72\R”（“~”is SOI，“CR” is EOI），
So the last five char “FC72\R”FC72 is CHKSUM，
Calculation method：
‘1’＋ ‘2’＋ ‘0’＋ …＋‘F’＋ ‘E’＝31H＋32H＋30H＋…＋46H＋45H＝038EH
038EH module 65536 is 038EH，038EH take inverse plus 1 is FC72H.
