Before we could start assembling the Lifepo4 battery ESS/UPS system, we need to figure out those interfaces&ports in
the front panel of the High Voltage BMS, check the below information.
Firstly, let's have a look at this picture, you will see there are AC Input, B+ B- N, ON, OFF...printed on the panel, so many
ports, what are these ports for? How to connect them correctly? Don't worry, keep on watching.
(Center Tap/3-Wire Battery Management System)
Secondly, in the following tab, you will find some of the names of those Ports and their corresponding usage,
and precautions. For example, B+ B- are the power ports connected to the battery's total Positive and total
Negative.
No. | Name | Explain | Precautions | |
1 |
B+ N B-
|
The power port connected to the battery's total positive and total negative: for the systems without mid-line, do not connect the N line. |
Recommended connecting bolt M8 * 20, torque 8-10N * m |
|
2 |
P+ N P-
|
Power port connected to charging equipment (UPS) or DC bus: for the systems without mid-line, do not connect the N line. |
Recommended connecting bolt M8 * 20, torque 8-10N * m |
|
3 |
AC Input |
The municipal power supply input port must be taken from the UPS output side |
85~264VAC |
1A max |
4 |
ON OFF
|
On: the Circuit Breaker is closed; Off: the Circuit Breaker is disconnected |
When the handle of the Circuit Breaker is in the tripping state in the middle position, it needs to be turned to off before it can be closed |
|
5 |
D1 D1 D2 D2 |
Two dry contact outputs reserved |
Not yet open for use |
|
6 |
Start |
DC start button: start the RBMS system by taking power from the battery side. |
The system is connected to the battery. After the circuit breaker is closed, press and wait for the light to light up, indicating that the system is powered on. |

Status |
System status indicator |
System normal: Green Light long bright Alarm: Yellow light long bright Self-checking failure and protection status: Red light long bright Charging: green light flashing Discharge: red light flashing Self-checking: red and green light flashing alternately Pre-charging: yellow light flashing |
Thirdly, you will further understand the rest ports' explanations and Precautions, what are they used for?
What to do when we connect them?

Precautions |
|
1 2 4 8 |
ID allocation: when multiple RBMs are used in parallel, the ID is allocated by setting the dial switch. You must start with 1. |
The dial switch has 4 bits in total and supports up to 15 RBMs parallel machines ON: ID+1 ON: ID+2 ON: ID+4 ON: ID+8 |
TCP/IP |
RBMs upper computer system software can be connected to PC through a network cable |
The network cable standard is CAT5 or above and can be connected by a cross line or straight line. The line sequence can be according to the standard tia-586a or tia-568b |
|
T-CAN T-485 |
Terminal matching Resistance setting during can and 485 communication Setting Description: (120r), on is valid |
For parallel application, only the last one needs to be set; In a single machine application, it can be used flexibly according to the site conditions (interference, communication distance, etc.) |
|
COM-IN COM-OUT |
RBMs external communication port: In parallel application: communicate with SBMs In stand-alone Application: communicate with UPS / PCS external equipment |
Must use randomly configured twisted pair shielded wire harness, the wire sequence definition see the wire mark on the wire harness |
|
GND HMI-B HMI-A 24V |
For external display connection For SBMS power supplying connection |
Please connect the display screen according to the silk screen sequence |
|
BMU-OUT | Communication interface with BMU | Cascade communication with BMU | |
![]() |
RBMs Case grounding point | It must be reliably grounded and the grounding resistance is less than 1 ohm |
