2. Ensure that the Battery Cell Monitoring HUB is powered on
3. Open the “PBMS2000 Monitoring Software”
4. The first connection should be made to the HUB as shown in the image below.
5. Select the ‘Settings’ tab >> A new window will appear
6. Press In the “Address Info” tab, press the ‘Search’ button >> Choose the number of strings (1 or 2) >> Save
You should then be able to see the serial numbers of the sensors that are connected to the hub. The first sensor listed will be the one connected to the hub.
7. Click on the “Battery Info” tab >> Read >> Save.
In this section, you will find information about the string.
8. Click on the “Connection Settings” >> TCP/IPv4 section >> Read
Your actions will now depend on whether or not a configuration has been made between the rectifier and the Elara.
If a configuration has been made between the rectifier and the Elara then follow the next steps:
a. Copy the rectifier IP address
b. Make sure the IP address is pasted in the appropriate location in the "PBMS2000 Monitoring Software" and that the last digits of the IP address are not the same as the address of the ELARA or rectifier.
For example:
Rectifier IP | Elara IP | Battery cell monitoring IP |
|---|---|---|
192.168.100.100 | 192.168.100.101 | 192.168.100.102 |
c. Make sure that the IP address is saved correctly >> Read the data again to ensure that the data was correctly saved
If a configuration has not been made between the rectifier and the Elara then follow the next steps:
a. For later use, copy the IP address from the IP address box.
b. Save

9. Go to “Balance Setting”, and click "Yes" in the "Balance Enable" row. Afterward, write down 98.0 at the "Target Balance (%)" and 120 at the "Balance Interval Time (s)”. Save the configurations.
10. Click on "Res Measuring" and follow the instructions below.
11. Click on “Address Info” and then “Save”
12. To confirm that all modules are communicating with data, close the “Settings” window and press the “Read” button.
Note that the current value (A) depends on the status of the batteries and the system provides value only on “discharge” and “charge” status.
On “Charge” status, the system provides a positive value.
On “Discharge” status it provides a negative value.
When the status is “Floating” or “Rest” status the system will provide a value of 0 (A).
