Note: This software requires a CANdapter to interface with a computer (PC).

Dual (x2) CANBUS 2.0B interfaces which (fully programmable).Can measure cell voltages between 0.5v and 5.0v.Calculates discharge current limit (DCL) and charge current limit (CCL).Uses professional automotive-grade locking connectors.Performs intelligent cell balancing (passive).

Centralized design provides high EMI and noise immunity.Configurations available in increments of 12 cells in series.Up to 2x Remote Cell Tap Expansion Modules can be connected to measure higher voltage battery packs (up to 800vDC max).Capable of measuring up to 180 battery cells per unit connected in series based on configuration.See the complete Orion 2 Change Log document Quick Specifications Significant algorithm and software enhancements to improve overall system accuracy for parameters such as State of Charge and pack health.Addition of 2x new Multi-Purpose Output pins with programmable functions.New S tatus LED on the unit to indicate power status and the presence of faults.This greatly simplifies connecting multiple units together in series and improves the overall reliability. Completely redesigned multi-unit series configuration (now using Remote Cell Tap Expansion Modules).Ability to directly drive certain contactors on select inputs (bypassing the need for intermediate signal relays in some situations)–see supporting documentation for details.The Orion 2 BMS remains fully compatible with 12v applications. Wider input power voltage range (now 12v-24vDC compatible) for better support on heavy vehicles and equipment.Direct hardware support for several popular charging protocols including hardware support for SAE J1772(directly interfacing with the pilot / proximity lines) and CHAdeMO for DC fast charging.

Considerable boosts in measurement accuracyand processor speed allow for more advanced calculations and logic.Minimum heat dissipation requirements apply. Roughly 40% lower weight on all models due to the new enclosure design and streamlined (removable) heatsink.
