#REM Li-Ion Battery Management System Slave (Analogue On/Off Charger Control) By Peter Perkins. Picaxe 08M - PIC12F683 - 080908 - www.150mpg.co.uk - V1.05 Beta. **************************** General Information ********************************* The BMS modules carry no warranty or guarantee of any kind! They are used at your own risk, and I make no claims as to their suitability for a particular function. Prospective users must evaluate the system before using it, and no liability will be entertained by myself in any shape or form whatsoever. The modules and software have been produced at low cost for the benefit of the EV & electronic community. The software is available free via the internet. Users may modify or adapt the system as they see fit. If you are not fully competent to work on potentially lethal battery systems and high voltages, then do not experiment with or use this system. Be aware that vehicle modifications can lead to invalidated insurance and warranty issues. You the end user remain fully liable for any modifications made to your vehicle. ************************* Slave Picaxe 08M Pinouts ******************************* Top _____ (+ Cell Supply) +Ve -1| ^ |8- -Ve (- Cell Supply) (Program In) Rxd -2| 0 |7- Output 0 (Bypass Load Out) (Slave Bus Out/Low V Output 4 -3| 8 |6- Input 1 (RefAdc In 1.235V) (Slave Data Bus In) Input 3 -4| M |5- Output 2 (Master Bus Out/High V) ----- ************************ Slave Module Specification ****************************** Supply/Cell Voltage 1.75 - 5.00V DC (Pic limits) Average Supply Current at 4.00v <100ua Voltage Ref LM 385 1.235V accuracy 1% Supply/Cell Voltage sensing accuracy +/- 30mv Maximum balancing/bypass current with 15R resistor 333ma at 5.00V Maximum serial Bus data rate 4800 baud (Picaxe 08M limit at 8mhz) Maximum cell Capacity 65ah (65,000) (Limit of 16bit Word Master Variable) Maximum 128 Slave Modules per Master Module (Master Pic Scratchpad Ram limit) CPU Speed 31khz - 8mhz with internal resonator (Lower speed used for power saving) Permitted Working Cell Voltage Range 1.75 - 4.30V RefVADC should be 1263 but can be adjusted to compensate for variations.
