Battery Management System

USER’S GUIDE

®

Contents of the .ini file

The config.ini file that you retrieve from a Battery Management System Management Card contains the following:

section headings, which are category names enclosed in brackets ([ ]), and under each section heading, keywords, which are labels describing specific Battery Management System settings.

Only section headings and keywords supported for the specific device associated with the Management Card from which you retrieve the file are included.

Each keyword is followed by an equals sign and the current value for that parameter’s setting, either the default value (if the value has not been specifically configured) or the configured value.

The Override keyword, with its default value, prevents one or more keywords and their device-specific values from being exported.

In the [NetworkTCP/IP] section, the default value for Override (the MAC address of the Management Card) blocks the exporting of the values for the keywords SystemIP, SubnetMask,

DefaultGateway, and BootMode.

You must edit the section [SystemDate/Time] if you want to set the system date and time of a receiving Battery Management System Management Card or cause that Management Card to use an NTP Server to set its date and time.

See Customizing for configuration guidelines for date and time settings.
