6. Common Applications

6.1 Application of Analog Input

Current&temperature measurement.

0~5V sensor wiring

Pls see below picture

6.1.2 4~20mA Sensor Wiring

When using 4 ~ 20mA type sensor, the sensor needs to be powered by 24V power supply (can be
powered by the tested battery pack). The wiring is as shown in the picture.

Page 14 of 21 King Pigeon Hi-Tech. Co., Ltd. Ver 1.1

 Battery Management System
BMS100

6.2 Application of Battery Voltage Measurement

6.2.1Application of batteries in series

When all batteries in series connection,each battery’s negative electrode connect to the next battery’s
positive electrode. As show in the picture：

The electric potential difference between B1 and B0 is first battery’s voltage,so B1 point is first battery’s

Page 15 of 21 King Pigeon Hi-Tech. Co., Ltd. Ver 1.1

 Battery Management System
BMS100
voltage.
Similarly, the potential difference between points B2 and B1 is the voltage of the second battery, so point
B2 is the voltage of the second battery; point B3 is the voltage of the third battery; and so on, each battery
has a corresponding point to monitor.
TVol +,TVol- can be used to monitor the total voltage of all batteries. Analog Input 1 can be used to monitor
the battery current.Analog Input 2 can be used to monitor the current battery temperature.
Note: PT100 sensors have 0 ~ 5V type and 4 ~ 20mA type. For wiring, please refer to the application of
analog input.

6.3 Application of Battery Grouping

When batteries are connected in parallel, battery grouping is required. The batteries connected in series
are a group, and the negative electrode of the first battery of each group needs to be connected to B0.As
shown below.

In the picture, there are 12 batteries in total, 4 batteries in one group, and 3 batteries groups in total.
BMS100 can measure the voltage of 12 single battery, also the total voltage. And It also can monitor the
voltage of each battery group.
The configuration software add the battery pack as below:
Add first battery group of battery 1-4.(fill in 1 and 4,then click “Add”)

Page 16 of 21 King Pigeon Hi-Tech. Co., Ltd. Ver 1.1

 Battery Management System
BMS100

After add first 4 batteries in first group,show below:(second batteries group with battery 5-8 ,and total
4PCS,click” Add”)

It will show the second group(battery 5-8,and third group start from 9,then click “Add” to add 3rd group)

Then 3rd battery group with battery 9-12 show below:

Then click read.

After adding batteries groups, the battery bank voltage can be monitored.
TVol +, TVol- can be used to monitor the total voltage of all batteries.Analog Input 1 can be used to monitor
the battery current.Analog Input 2 can be used to monitor the battery temperature.
If you need to monitor the current of each group of batteries, you can use King Pigeon S275 or other
device to expand the Analog Input interface. S275 can upload all data of the device to the cloud platform
through the RS485 port.
Note: PT100 sensors have 0 ~ 5V type and 4 ~ 20mA type. For wiring, please refer to the application of
analog input.

6.4 Application of battery cascade

When the quantity of batteries is more than 12, can use multiple BMS100 to measure the battery voltage
and total voltage, as shown in the picture:

A large number of battery packs can be cascaded through multiple BMS100.

TVol +, TVol- can be used to monitor the total voltage of all batteries. Analog Input 1 can be used to
monitor the battery current; Analog Input 2 can be used to monitor the current battery temperature.
If you need to monitor the current of each group of batteries, you can use King Pigeon S275 or other
device to expand the Analog Input interface. S275 can upload all data of the device to the cloud platform
through the RS485 port.
Note: PT100 sensors have 0 ~ 5V type and 4 ~ 20mA type. For wiring, please refer to the application of
analog input.
