Guide article of the new Toolkit3 app to allow users to configure the targets transmitted to the remote/external equipment (charger/inverter).
Navigate to the screen via the Menu and choose the Configuration tab. Choose Remote Control from the drop-down menu.
¶ Ramped Targets
Values are available once you have selected template Ramped Targets and have enabled limited charge and discharge on their respective screens.
Beyond the software version 2.17.9, this has been enhanced to ramp down the targets when full or empty, to be more gentle on the batteries to avoid the balancing overshoot.
The ramp-down targets for both charging and discharge are available for inverters that accept the CANbus profile:
¶ Edit Mode Overview
Editing is only available when in 'Technician' mode.
For guide on how to make changes, go to Configuration Guide and Icons.
- Adjust the target parameters to suit the ESS application / remote equipment.
- Monitor using the telemetry and chart screens.
¶ Field Definitions
¶ Template
| High / Limited (Original) | |
| High / Limited (Advanced) | |
| Ramped Targets |
¶ Charge Targets
Current state from the charging control logic (Off, Limited Power, High Power)
¶ High
| Voltage (High) | Target voltage setting to be sent to the external system when in a high power/normal charging state. |
| Current (High) | Target current setting to be sent to the external system when in a high power/normal charging state. |
| SoC% (High) | Target power (VA) setting to be sent to the external system when in a high power/normal charging state. |
¶ Limited
| Voltage (Limited) | Target voltage setting to be sent to the external system when in a low/limited power charging state. |
| Current (Limited) | Target current setting to be sent to the external system when in low/limited power charging state |
| SoC% (Limited) | Target power (VA) setting to be sent to the external system when in a low/limited charging state. |
¶ Scaling
| Voltage (Scaling) |
Voltage values are stored as an unsigned int16 with values of 1, 10, or 100, these are used to scale the decimal places. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required. If this field is not visible, then change the template to Advanced, adjust and save. And then return to the original desired template. When a CANbus profile is changed, and when you press the default mode on the screen, it will adjust this value to suit the equipment. |
| Current (Scaling) |
Current (Amp) are stored as an unsigned int16 with values of 1, 10, or 100, these are used to scale the decimal places. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required. If this field is not visible, then change the template to Advanced, adjust and save. And then return to the original desired template. When a CANbus profile is changed, and when you press the default mode on the screen, it will adjust this value to suit the equipment. |
| SoC% (Scaling) |

¶ Scaling
| Voltage (Limited) | Voltage values are stored as an unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required. |
| Current (Limited) | Currents (amps) values are stored as an unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required. |
| SoC% (Limited) | Power (VA) values are stored as an unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required. |

Value received from the external remote system (if available). If the value shown is zero (0) or NS (Not Supplied) or NA (Not Applicable), this means this value has not been sent to the BMS. This does not mean there is an issue. This field is optional in the protocol and only a select few manufacturers or only some of their products have this functionality. |
