Connector part numbers

In case you need to adapt or extend the sense wires, you will need the male and female connectors and the respective pins. Here are the part numbers:

Part	Number	Notes
16-polig male	1473796-1
16-polig female	1318386-1
24-polig male	1473799-1
24-polig female	1318917-1
32-polig male	1473799-1
32-polig female	1318747-1
40-polig male	1376113-2	Solder part, crimp not available
40-polig female	1318389-1
Pin male	1376109-1
Pin female	1123343-1

CAN Messages

Upon powerup the unit spits out messages that contain various useful info. After a while these messages stop and you have to send 50B#00 00 00 C0 00 00 00 to get it going again.

To get the individual cell voltages, first issue 79B#02 21 02 FF FF FF FF FF. You will receive the first reply looking like this: 7BB#10 C6 61 02 0E C9 0E C0.

Now send 27 times 79B#30 01 00 FF FF FF FF FF and you get 7BB#21 0E C0 0E C2 0E C0 0E. It is one index byte and 7 data bytes. So after 28 messages you will have collected 98 words (16-bit) of data. Every other message it stretches over to the next message. The first and the last byte are unknown so we discard them. That leaves us with 97 Words. It looks much like Word 1-96 are the 96 individual cell voltages and word 97 is the total pack voltage.
