486 * Enable – a flag to enable the protection;
487 * Cycles threshold – a number of cycles in a given period, upon which the “DCH contactor cycles error” is generated;
488 * Check time – a time in which the BMS counts switchings of the charging contactor, second;
489 * Delay before setting the error, millisecond;
490 * Delay before clearing the error, second;
491 * Lock – a flag to block the error until the device is restarted.
492
493 If there is the high switching frequency of the discharging contactor, the “DCH contactor cycles error” is generated.
494
495 Error generation conditions:
496
497 * the number of switchings of the discharging contactor for the “Check time” time is greater than or equal to the “Cycles threshold” value. The error is generated with the “Delay before setting the error” delay.
