AEK_POW_BMS63EN Fault_L_line_status is always 1

[bitBuddy]

Dear Community members,

I have connected 2 node in ring configuration, and working on an custom pcb for BMS.

In registers Faults1, Fault_L_line_status is always 1, while all other fields of Faults1 and Faults2 registers are 0. 

Also the OVRLATCH is not detected. 

What could be cause to set 'Fault_L_line_status' 1 and where could I check to diagnose.

screenshot for expression view is added for reference for both nodes 1 and 2.

Hi,

Let's exclude that you have an electrical issue.

There are several conditions triggering the Fault_L even without the OVRLATCH = 1. These conditions are reported in page 76 of the datasheet.

In the latest version of the BMS driver present in AutoDevKit, we have added a specific structure for the purpose of this check: AEK_POW_BMS63CHAIN_fastDiag_t  

Here you are the function call:

AEK_POW_BMS63CHAIN_fastDiag_t AEK_POW_BMS63CHAIN_node_getFastDiag(AEK_POW_BMS63CHAIN_chain_name_t AEK_POW_BMS63CHAIN_chain_name, AEK_POW_BMS63CHAIN_node_devName_t AEK_POW_BMS63CHAIN_node_devName);

Hi Max,

In L9963E data sheet, in Table 21 MISO2 where frame no. is 2 (0b10), is this referring to burst response frame no. 1 in Table 24, 25, 26 ?

Hi,

The answer is Yes.

Hi Max,

seems it is a documentation error.

Hi,

There is one more message described in the miso1 row.

Hi Max,

As per observation in logic analyser, in burst(0x78) command feedback frame(MISO1 in table 21), data field is for frame 1 of Table.24 and burst response frame MISO2(in table 21) where frame no. is 2 (0b10) referring to frame 2 of table 24.

Hence we get max of 18 frame (MISO18 : Frame Num-18 (10010) in table 21) .
