BMS system is activated by ON/OFF Switch (K5). Activation in the system needs to be done only for Master BMS, other BMSes (Slaves) will be activated by internal bus (RS485). After switching OFF (K5) the master BMS 16i switch off itself and all BMS slaves on the bus (RS485) as well.

RS485 is an internal communication bus for communication between BMSes and charger in the system. Everytime you need in the system one Master BMS 16i (has to be connected on the “lowest” cells of the battery), which control comunication with other BMS 16i modules (Slaves) or the charger.
CAN bus are possible based on customer request. Remark : To secure correct behavior, MGM compro recommends to use twisted pair cable for the L & H and NMEA 2000 connectors. Comunication has to be terminated. Master BMS 16i already includes the termination, but termincation on the “last”...

MGM ProTool To set parameters or read data from the BMS 16i, is necessary to instal the PC software MGM ProTool and connect BMS 16i to PC via the OPTOCOM 6i. Instalation of the MGM ProTool PC software "MGM ProTool", is free to download from our web.
First of all the OPTOCOM6i has to be connected with PC via the USB and then the OPTOCOM6i has to be connected via the UART to the connector K11 placed on the master BMS 16i. Open the PC software MGM Protool on your computer and turn on BMS16i.
All BMSes 16i in the system, have to have the same FW version of the device as the others. In case, that you want to make an update of firmware in your BMS 16i to the latest version, you will need to connect the OPTOCOM 6i to PC (with an internet connection) and to the BMS 16i.
Setting of the user parameters (in MGM ProTool) Customized BMS 16i has usually parameters set according to customer requirements. In case that is necessary to write into the BMS 16i new parameters corresponding customer system / customer needs please follow the steps…...

Balancing is starting, when voltage of the most charged battery cell is higher, than the value of Balancing voltage (parameter P17 in ProTool). Balancing is running even after the deactivation of the BMS 16i (Switch [K5] is OFF). Balancing is finished, when all battery cells are balanced / charged to value of Charged cell voltage (parameter P18 in ProTool).

P22: Discharge fuse Controlling of maximum discharging current. In case, that discharging current is over the limit, then the overcurrent error is broadcasted. In case, that the value is 0, then the discharge fuse is switched off. P23: Charge efficiency Charge efficiency is the rate, which compares the current given to the battery and current, which could be taken from the battery.
