Setup

When the BMS powers on, it enters a Sensor Detection Sequence. If a sensor is not detected, it emits a double beep after ~10 seconds and retries every 5 seconds. This loop continues until:

  • A sensor is detected
  • anb_utils is launched, which pauses the BMS operation
  • a character is sent from a command line prompt
  1. With the sensor not connected, connect the BMS comms line to a DTU via the supplied cable.

  1. Open anb_utils
  2. Connect the BMS to the battery, wait to hear the double beep (approximately 10s) and then click on the correct COM port in utils. The BMS will connect and the following will be displayed:
