SD card
The BMS Main 3 device supports saving the status of the battery as log files on an SD card.
Logging to an SD card is configured in the "Service → SD card" section:
In this section:
- Enable – a flag to enable logging;
- Logging period – a period of logging to an SD card, second;
- Save logs with cell parameters – a flag to enable logging the state of cells.
FTP
The BMS Main 3 device supports periodic sending log files stored on the SD card to a remote FTP server via Wi-Fi and cellular network.
Sending log files to a remote FTP server is configured in the "Service → FTP" section:
In this section:
- Enable – a flag to enable sending log files to a remote FTP server;
- Host – host name or IP address of the FTP server;
- Port – a port number of the FTP server;
- User – a user name;
- Password – a user password;
- Sending period – a period of connection to the remote FTP server;
- Send logs with cell parameters – a flag for sending data about battery cells to the FTP server;
The device saves the history of sent log files: for the main log files, the file with the sending history has the name “LOGSENT.TXT”, for log files with data on battery cells - “CELLSENT.TXT”.
Reset
The BMS Main 3 can automatically restart after the "Charger connected" signal appears. The restart will occur no more often than "Maximum number of resets" per day and no more often than once per hour.
To access settings of periodic device reset, select the "Service → Reset" section:
In this section:
- Enable – a flag to enable periodic device resets;
- Maximum number of resets;
- Days to reset the device – a bitfield to choose days for reset;
- Actual number of resets – a number of successful resets today;
- Last reset timestamp – time of last device reset.
Errors journal
The BMS Main 3 device maintains a 32-entry errors journal. Each journal entry stores an error occurrence/disappearance timestamp and error flags.
The errors journal can be viewed in the "Service - Errors journal" section:
In this section:
- Acknowledge the errors – a trigger to acknowledge the errors and clear the "Need acknowledge" signal;
- Errors 1, 2 to ignore when adding a new record – bitfields with errors to be ignored while write to error journal;
- Last record – a number of the last entry in the errors journal;
- Record 1 … Record 32 – entries in the errors journal.
The errors journal is circular: after all 32 positions are filled, the next entry will be placed at position 1.
