16 * **Cell resistance** – nominal (maximum) internal resistance of the cells, Ohm;
17 * **Connection of cells:**
18 ** **Serial **– all cells are connected in series in a single string.

26 * **Reset resistance** – a command to reset cells resistance to “Cell resistance” value;
27 * **Reset capacity** – a command to reset cells capacity to “Cell capacity” value;
Admin 76.3 28 * **Method of calculating the battery voltage***:
29 ** **Summation of cell voltages** – the overall voltage is calculated as on sum of all cells in the battery;
30 ** **Using voltage before contactors** – the overall voltage is estimated as voltage before contactors measured by BMS.
Admin 1.3 31
Admin 76.3 32 The **"Parallel-Serial"** connection works as follows: a bunch of serial connected Logics are grouped into chains. A bunch of parallel connected chains are grouped to blocks. A bunch of serial connected blocks are grouped into string. By configuring the corresponding settings it is possible to create a complex string configuration. Current through each chain will be estimated as a fraction of overall current accordingly to the number of chains in a block.
Admin 1.3 33
Admin 76.3 34 The values **“Capacity”** and **“Resistance”** are used to calculate the SOC of cells and the battery.
Admin 1.3 35
Admin 76.3 36 The values of **“Relax time”** are used to determine the state of the battery. If the battery is in a state of relaxation, the system recalculates the voltage on the cells to the state of charge of the battery.

Admin 3.1 40 === SOC estimation ===
Admin 1.3 41
Admin 76.5 42 The BMS Main 3 / BMS Main 2R device calculates the state of charge (SOC) of each cell, and then the overall battery SOC, by using following algorithms:
Admin 1.3 43
44 The **“Voltage”** SOC calculation algorithm calculates cells SOC based on the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t °C).
45
46 The **“Current and voltage (simplified)”** SOC calculation algorithm works as follows:
47
48 * if I = 0, the battery is in the state of relaxation and the cell voltage Uocv is outside the [U,,ocv[point 1],,; U,,ocv[point 2],,], the SOC calculation is based on the tabular dependency Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t °C);
49 * in any other cases, the SOC value is proportional to the charge (coulomb) passed through the battery (current time integral).
50
51 The **“Current and voltage (enhanced)” **SOC calculation algorithm differs from the simplified algorithm by online correction of the effective capacity. When using this algorithm, it is necessary to fine tune the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t °C).

66 ** **Min-Max SOC** – the battery SOC is calculated based on the minimum and maximum SOC of the cells (recommended). Final SOC will be a) 100% if __any cell__ has 100% SOC, b) 0% if __any cell__ has 0% SOC;
67 ** **Max-Min SOC** – the battery SOC is calculated based on the minimum and maximum SOC of the cells. Final SOC will be a) 100% if __all cells__ have 100% SOC, b) 0% if __all// //cells__ have 0% SOC.
68 * **Scale the final SOC** – a flag to scale the battery SOC by the following values;
69 * **SOC corresponding to 0%** – the battery SOC that sets to be 0%;

Admin 3.1 78 === SOC correction ===
Admin 1.3 79
Admin 76.5 80 The BMS Main 3 / BMS Main 2R device can recalculate the battery SOC after long-term storage or after long-term working in the case when the battery was not charged fully or discharged totally. Recalculation is done based on the tabular dependency Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t) (see [[SOC estimation>>doc:||anchor="HSOCestimation"]]).

90 * **Correction period** – a period of correcting the battery SOC, day. If the BMS detects that the last correction was more than the “Correction period” ago, the BMS recalculates the battery state of charge based on the tabular dependency Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t) and tunes it gradually during the “SOC change time”.
91 * **SOC change time** – a duration of the linear changing the battery SOC to the value calculated by the correction algorithm, minute;

Admin 1.3 94
Admin 65.2 95 === SOH estimation ===
96
97 The BMS Main 3 device calculates the state of health of the battery (SOH) using two algorithms:
98
Admin 76.5 99 In **"By effective capacity" **mode SOH is calculated as a ratio of effective capacity to nominal capacity. Effective capacity is estimated to DOD value when battery SOC reaches 0%, so SOH is recalculated each full battery discharge.
Admin 65.2 100
Admin 76.5 101 In** "By total charge–"** mode SOH is calculated as a linear function of "Total charge-" counter. While "Total charge-" constantly increases during battery operation, SOH will be linearly decrease at the same time. This mode requires a confirmed data about cell health depending of amount of discharge rate to configure the linear function.

Admin 10.2 122
Admin 1.3 123 The second method is used for a stepwise change in the current through the cell, while the value of the cell resistance:
124
Admin 10.6 125 {{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
Admin 10.5 126 R = \frac{U_2-U_1}{I_{stable2}-I_{stable1}}

Admin 3.1 670 === Series balancing ===
Admin 1.4 671
672 The BMS Main 3 device supports work with two independent (galvanically unrelated) cell series. To monitor the status of two series, two current sensors are used. A series of cells must be equivalent: they must have the same number of cells and the same capacity.
673
674 Since the series of cells can operate at different loads, they must be balanced. For this, the BMS Main 3 provides two signals to power switches: “Balancing series 1” and “Balancing series 2”, as well as a combined algorithm that considers both the voltage of each series and the charge that these series gave load. The “Balancing series 1” and “Balancing series 2” signals are used to connect high-power balancing resistors in parallel with cell series 1 and 2.
675
676 When charging the battery, balancing is performed based on the voltage of the series. A balancing resistor is connected to the cell series if:
677
678 * the series voltage is higher than the start balancing voltage;
679 * the difference between the voltage of a series of cells and the minimum voltage among the battery series is greater than the balancing threshold.
680
681 When the battery is discharging (work on load), balancing is turned on if one of the series gives the load a charge (Ah), which is more by the amount Qthr of the charge given off by another series.

803 The battery discharge characteristic – the dependence Uocv = Uocv(DOD) – is used to determine the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t°C), which is necessary for calculating the battery charge level.
804
805 The BMS Main 3 device can automatically determine the battery discharge characteristic.
806
807 Before starting the process of determining the discharge characteristic, it is necessary to prepare a BMS:
808
809 1. Charge the battery.
810 1. Connect a resistive load to the discharging contactor, which will provide a discharge current of 0.5C (where C is the cell capacitance).

834 Algorithm steps:
835
836 1. DOD = 0.
837 1. Opening the discharging contactor.
838 1. Waiting for the relaxation of the battery.
839 1. Measuring Uocv = U.
840 1. Saving the point of the discharge characteristic (Q, U,,OCV,,).
841 1. Closing of the discharging contactor. DOD,,1,, = DOD + Discharge step, U,,1,, = U
842 1. If DOD = DOD,,1,, or U < (U,,1,, – Delta voltage), then go to step 2.
843 1. If the "Undervoltage" error is detected, then the end of the algorithm.
