CyberPower BMS (Battery Management System)

2023: CyberPower BM100/BP100-12VT/BM100/BP100-2VT

On January 23, 2023, CyberPower announced the start of sales of the next generation Battery Management System (BMS).

CyberPower BP100-12VT

According to the company, the system consists of a CyberPower BM100 battery controller and CyberPower battery sensors BP100-12VT or BP100-2VT that are installed on each battery and allow you to monitor the basic parameters of the battery in real time, predict their condition. The BMS provides proactive control, eliminating the risk of downtime. If the capacity of one of the batteries is reduced, its position in the array is accurately determined and the charge on all batteries in this line is compensated, which prevents premature degradation of the batteries, extending the service life.

In the updated version of the BMS CyberPower firmware, the monitoring loop is optimized, one controller collects indicators from a maximum of four groups of batteries, each of which can include up to 120 batteries (a total of up to 480 batteries from one BM100 controller). When fixing deviations of parameters from nominal values, the system will automatically notify the service service and indicate the problem battery.

The second important update is to refine the temperature sensor. In the updated version, the temperature sensor is placed on the negative terminal.

The changes made to the system itself entailed an update. software A wide set of supported protocols/, IPv4v6 SNMPv1/v3 HTTPHTTPs,/,,,, TCP/IP UDP NTP DHCP,,,,, DNS TLS SMTP SSH 1.2 SSL,,, Syslog Telnet FTP introduced the MODBUS TCP protocol.

BMS CyberPower BM100 and BP100-12VT works with lead-acid batteries 12V and a capacity of 18Ah to 250Ah. BMS CyberPower BM100 and BP100-2VT works with lead-acid batteries 2V and a capacity of 200Ah to 3000Ah. Communication and monitoring is carried out using the SNMP protocol. To connect the system to batteries groups use serial connection - sensors in one group are connected in series to the main unit via a single common loop. At the same time, an additional load on the power supply network: the main device consumes less than 2.5 W, and each of the connected sensors - less than 0.17 W.

The capabilities of the system include:

• Charge compensation on battery
• Control of temperature, voltage, resistance
• Automatic notification in case of emergency or pre-emergency mode of battery
• Low power consumption
• ENVIROSENSOR support
• Support for battery with different capacities
• Support for various manufacturers of battery
• Set up a test schedule with data archiving
• Operation in a wide temperature range

All the listed capabilities of the system together provide an extension of the battery life - on average for a period of 6 to 24 months.

The system for monitoring and managing the charge of batteries CyberPower BM100 and BP100-12VT is already available at the Moscow warehouses of distributors and is available for order. Deliveries of the CyberPower BM100 and BP100-2VT system are expected soon.

2019: BMS CyberPower sales start

On January 24, 2019, the company CyberPower announced the start of sales of the batteries battery management system (BMS).

The system consists of a CyberPower BM100 battery controller and CyberPower BP100-12V battery sensors, which are installed on each battery. According to the developer, the system allows you to control the main parameters of the battery and predict its condition, and in the event of a reduction in the capacity of one of the batteries, determine it and compensate for the charge on the battery standing in the line to prevent premature degradation.

The BMS CyberPower monitoring Kontur is designed to remove indicators by one device from a maximum of four battery groups, each of which includes from 1 to 40 batteries (in total - up to 160 batteries from one BM100 controller). When fixing deviations of parameters from nominal values, the system will automatically notify the service service and indicate the problem battery, CyberPower emphasized.

According to the developer, BMS CyberPower is compatible with lead-acid batteries from 7Ah to 200Ah, any type, and UPS communication monitoring is carried out by -. SNMPto the protocol To connect the system to battery groups, a serial connection is used - sensors in one group are connected in series to the main unit via a single common loop. At the same time, an additional load on the power supply network: the main device consumes less than 2.5 W, and each of the connected sensors - less than 0.17 W.

As noted in CyberPower, the features of the system include:

• charge compensation on the battery;
• control of temperature, voltage, resistance;
• automatic notification in case of emergency or pre-emergency mode of battery;
• low power consumption;
• ENVIROSENSOR support;
• support for battery with different capacities;
• support for various manufacturers of battery;
• setting the test schedule with data archiving;
• operation in a wide temperature range.

According to the developer, the listed features of the system together provide an extension of the battery life for an average period of 6 to 24 months. The use of BMS provides an opportunity to improve the reliability of the power system, avoid sudden accidents and reduce the cost of equipment downtime. Monitoring each battery, according to the developer, allows you to get rid of such costs as regular service with a specialist visiting the installation site.

As of January 2019, the battery charge monitoring and control system (CyberPower BM100 and BP100-12V) is already available for order.
