Use XMODEM to upgrade one Battery Management System Management Card

To use XMODEM to upgrade the firmware for a single Battery Management System Management Card that is not on the network:

1.Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service which uses that port.

2.Connect the serial cable that came with the Battery Management System to the selected port and to the serial port at the Management Card.

Modbus and the control console share a common serial port. You can use either one or the other to access the Battery Management System.

If you are using Modbus to access the Battery Management System, you must configure the DIP Switches. For DIP switch configuration, see “Configure the DIP Switches” in the Installation and Quick Start Manual (.\doc\en\insguide.pdf),
