  • Page 8: Introduction Of Asb

    Introduction of ASB Application Specific Batteries (ASB) is VARTA’s new range of lithium-rechargeable battery products from VARTA Storage GmbH, offering products in the voltage range of 24V – 48V for modern systems and applications. We offer a growing range of battery packs that are immediately available for high-energy or high- power applications.
  • Page 9: Definitions And Standards

    Definitions and Standards BASICS Unless otherwise stated the technical values and definitions are based on room temperature conditions (RT = 22°C ± 3°C). VOLTAGE DEFINITIONS Open Circuit Voltage (OCV): End of Discharge Voltage (EoD): is the difference of electrical potential between The voltage at the end of discharging depending two terminals of a device when disconnected on discharge rate and temperature.

    The Power cable is not provided by VARTA. These are available from the distributors. See contact details at page 7. VARTA recommends to use a M6 screw type for the negative terminal and a M8 screw type for the positive terminal. For connection of the modules an additional bus bar or a wires with cable lug is needed.

    See contact details at page 7. VARTA recommends to use Phoenix Contact 157816 or similar. A system without CAN communication to Host needs two CAN termination resistors of 120 Ohm each. One CAN termination resistor has to be connected on the M12 connector of the first Module and one CAN termination resistor has to be connected to the M12 connector of the last Module.
  • Page 16: Setup A System

    Setup a system Mechanical connection The modules can be connected in “x1” or “z2” direction for Easy Blade. For Easy Block “x3” and or “y3” directions are possible via two module connectors, shown below in black. Place the module connectors inside the recess of two modules (see below picture). The module connectors are asymmetric and have a broad and a narrow side.
  • Page 17: Electrical Connection

    For removal of the module connector loosen the screw and remove the module connector. If the connector is stuck, use a screwdriver for pulling it out of the recess via the side opening in the connector. The modules can be connected in z1 (Easy Blade) and z3 (Easy Block) directions. You can stack the batteries via the design features on the bottom and on the top of each module.

    Step 1: Minus terminal Connect the Power Minus of all modules in parallel. Please note the Power minus is marked with the symbol -. For connection of the modules an additional bus bar or a wires with cable lug is needed. Step 2: Plus terminal Connect the Power Plus of all modules in parallel.

    all other batteries in parallel will show the same blinking code with a little time delay. When the LEDs of all batteries are solid green, the system is configured successfully. Technical details: Not configured batteries will not have a valid Node ID and will also not send any messages on the CAN bus.

     Discharging: Discharging is going to start once a load is connected to the system. Discharging is possible without CAN communication to the device.  Charging: Connect a VARTA approved CAN charger to the system. Charging starts once there is a CAN communication between Master and charger.
  • Page 21: Can Communication

    10 Charging Charge algorithm is controlled by the battery itself. Either a VARTA approved charger can be used or also a customized charger which follows the CANopen standard and the VARTA ASB charger specification. Charging will not start without CAN communication.
  • Page 22: 12 The Can Protocol

    12 The CAN Protocol The communication between all batteries in the system, the charger and the application (optional) is done via the standardized CANopen protocol. For more detailed information about CANopen please visit the official website from “CAN in Automation” (CiA) at https://www.can-cia.org/canopen/ At normal operation, all necessary data is transmitted via PDOs in cyclic intervals.
