Table 2-4 Interface Definition

2.3.1 DIP switch definition and description
Table 2-5 Interface Definition

DIP switch description:
The battery pack is connected in parallel in the Powercube, and the battery module that communicates connected to the inverter is defined as the host. The host can communicate with the slave through the CAN interface. The host summarizes the information of the entire battery system and communicates with the inverter through CAN or 485. The connection mode is divided into the following two cases:

Note:
Before opening the cover to change the DIP mode, contact DYNESS to inform the ID, DYNESS will record the battery ID and authorizes the opening operation. Only authorized by Dyness to operate.
Except for changing the DIP mode, any other operations cannot be done.
Figure2-3 DIP switch mode schematic diagram

1. If the host is the latest B3 battery with a DIP switch:

1. The communication cable from the host CAN into the inverter comm port should be the correct one.
2. When the battery works with GOODWE, Solis, LUX, Sofar, DEYE, VICTRON, IMEON, Infinisolar, Sungrow, SMA, RENAC, DELIOS, SAJ(CAN Comm) , Growatt HVM-ES/WPV(CAN port), before starting the battery, you need put the host DIP switch “# 3” to the “ON” position (to the top), then turn on the batteries.
3. If the battery communicates with the Expert-king, Expert-VMIII, Growatt SPH/SPA(CAN comm)、GMDE、Saj(485 comm), turn the host DIP switch “#2” to the “ON” position.
4. If the battery communicates with the Growatt SPF HVM-P/ES/WPV by RS485 port, turn the host DIP switch “#2” and “#3” to “ON”.
5. If the battery module is in communication with the ICC by 485 communication, turn the host DIP switch “#1” and “#4” to “ON”.the DIP switch of the slaves needs to turn the “#4” to “ON”.
6. The DIP switch of the slaves does not need to be changed.
7. If the energy storage system has only one B3, it is the host itself, and still follows the above steps.
   Note: For more information on matching inverter brands, please be subject to the latest document <The list of compatibility between Dyness ESS and Inverters >.

Caution： The DIP switch mode in case (5),1001 is only for ICC(a special communication device of some no-communication inverter), it’s a special firmware in BMS, different from general firmware, so if customers want to use ICC, please contact dryness to confirm.

Note:

1. After the whole system connection, set the master DIP mode according to the inverter model first, then start the battery.
2.  The BAT-INV comms cable is from inverter comm port to master CAN IN port, BAT-BAT cable is from master CAN OUT to slave1 CAN IN,slave1 CAN OUT to slave2 CAN IN.

2.4.1 Voltage Protection
Discharging Low Voltage Protection：
When any battery cell voltage is lower than the protection value during discharging, the over-discharging protection starts and the battery buzzer makes an alarm sound. The battery system stops supplying power to the outside. When the voltage of each cell recovers to the rated return range, the protection is over.

Charging Over Voltage Protection：
When total voltage or any battery cell voltage reaches the protection value during charging, the battery stops charging. When total voltage or a cell recovers to the rated return range, the protection is over.

2.4.2 Current Protection
Over Current Protection in Charging：
When the charging current is greater than the protection value, the battery buzzer alarms and the system stops charging. Protection is released after rated time delaying.
Over Current Protection in Discharging：
When the discharge current is greater than the protection value, the battery buzzer alarms and the system stops discharging. Protection is released after rated time delaying.

Note:
The buzzer sound alarm setting can be manually turned off on the background software, and the factory default is on.

2.4.3 Temperature Protection
Less/Over temperature protection in charging：
When the battery’s temperature is beyond the range of 0 ℃ ~55 ℃ during charging, temperature protection starts, and the device stops charging.
The protection is over when it recovers to the rated return range.
Less/Over temperature protection in discharging：
When the battery’s temperature is beyond the range of -10℃~+55℃ during discharging, temperature protection starts and the device stops supplying power to the outside.

Use, maintenance, and troubleshooting

4.1 Battery system usage and operation instructions
After completing the electrical installation, follow these steps to start the battery system.

1. Press the ON/OFF button to the ON position, and press and hold the SW button for 3 seconds.
   After the indicator self-test, the RUN indicator will light and the SOC indicator will be on (100% SOC status in Figure 4-1).

Note: If you need to shut down the system, firstly switch off the DC breaker between the battery with the inverter, then press SW for 3s and switch the power button to “OFF”.

Caution:

1. After pressing the power button, if the battery status indicator on the front panel continues to be red, please refer to the “4.2 Alarm description and processing “. If the failure cannot be eliminated, please contact the dealer timely.
2. Use a voltmeter to measure whether the voltage of the circuit breaker battery access terminal is higher than 42V and check whether the voltage polarity is consistent with the inverter input polarity. If the circuit breaker battery input terminal has a voltage output that is greater than 42V, then the battery begins to work normally.
3. After confirming that the battery output voltage and polarity are correct, turn on the inverter, and close the circuit breaker.
4. Check if the indicator of the inverter and battery connection (communication indicator and battery access status indicator) is normal. If it is normal, successfully complete the connection between the battery and the inverter. If the indicator light is abnormal, please refer to the inverter manual for the cause or contact the dealer.

4.2 Alarm description and processing
When protection mode is activated or system failure occurred, the alarm signal will be given through the working status indicator on the front panel of the B3. The network management can query the specific alarm categories.
If the fault such as single cell overvoltage, charging over-current, under-voltage protection, high-temp protection, and other abnormalities which affect the output, please deal with it according to Table 4-1.
