Physical Installation
Connect an Ethernet LAN cable from the Galooli Gateway/Computer to the RS485 A port on the left side of the first battery. Ensure that the right-side RS485 port is used to connect the first battery to the left-side RS485 port of the second battery. Continue this daisy-chain connection for all additional batteries.
It is recommended, whenever possible, to connect the smart batteries to RS485 Port 2, separately from other RS485-connected devices and sensors such as fuel sensors, power meters, etc. This approach enhances surge protection for the batteries and isolates them from potential surges affecting the other RS485-connected devices.
Device Configuration
If you, as a user, wish to view the battery data directly through the battery’s own portal and compare it with the values shown in Power Center, follow these steps:
Download and open the “PbmsTools V2.4 file”. Extract the file and run the “Pbms tool”. Below display will be shown, select the serial port for your laptop, open the port.
For configuring the physical ID when there are one or more batteries connected to one another, the following actions must be taken. As shown in the table, the "ADD" part must be configured according to the number of batteries, on each battery separately.
