BQ40Z50-R2: BQ40z50 R2

Part Number: BQ40Z50-R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, , EV2400

Tool/software:

I am using BQstudio to monitor my battery pack which is a 4S2P battery pack using bq40z50-R2 IC inside it.

Now I have two queries:

1. Will I be able to get DCIR values during charging and discharging of battery

2. Also when I am logging the data I am getting some errors "ERROR : Please check Log file\Trial7 Charge Discharge-LV2017.log.err". Why I am getting these errors

  • Hello,

    1. Will I be able to get DCIR values during charging and discharging of battery

    The gauge calculates and updates the resistance table for each cell while in discharge, however they do not update in charge.

    2. Also when I am logging the data I am getting some errors "ERROR : Please check Log file\Trial7 Charge Discharge-LV2017.log.err". Why I am getting these errors

    Can you please share this file so we can look into the error?

    Regards,

    Anthony

  • Hi Anthony,

    Please find attached error file for your reference. When ever this error occurs value of some of the register bit changes .

  • Please find below error file data for your reference. Whenever this error occurs value of some of the register bit changes.

  • Hi Sadatan,

    "No acknowledge from device" means there was an issue in the communication between the EV2400 and the device. How often is information being polled from the device? Is the device in normal mode at this time and not in shutdown?

    Regards,

    Anthony

  • Hi Anthony,

    The time set in the BQstudio for logging the data is 4 Sec. And these errors are coming when we are running the charging and discharging profile and logging the data in the log file.

  • Hi Anthony,

    The time set in the BQstudio for logging the data is 4 Sec. And these errors are coming when we are running the charging and discharging profile and logging the data in the log file.

    Also, is there any operating temperature range for EV2400 as we need to put it in temperature chamber.

    Regards,

    Sadatan

  • Hi Sadatan,

    What temperatures are the EV2400 being applied to in this testing?

    Regards,

    Anthony

  • Hi Anthony,

    Testing will be done from 0 to 60 Degree Celsius.

    Also, what do you think could be the reason for the error issue which I have shared before. Is it because of communication failure, if yes what could be the reason?
    For your information, we are using 2 battery and using 2 instances of BQ studio to read data from these two batteries at a time.

    Regards,

    Sadatan

  • Hi Sadatan,

    The EV2400 was designed to function at room temperature, so I believe implementing it in high or low temperature scenarios can affect the performance of it.

    For your information, we are using 2 battery and using 2 instances of BQ studio to read data from these two batteries at a time.

    For clarification, are you communicating with two batteries to one EV2400 or two EV2400s? If there is a EV2400 for each device there should not be an issue running two instances of bqStudio on one computer.

    Regards,

    Anthony

  • Also, there are few instances where we are getting random values for the registers and register bits and a blank in Log status instead of "SUCCESS" and there is no error logged for that time stamp in the error file? Do you think this is also due to the communication failure at that time stamp (instance)?

    It is shown in the green highlighted row.

    Regards,

    Sadatan

  • Hi Sadatan,

    Was this instance taken while the EV2400 was being used not at room temperature? Also, what is the current rate that the EV2400 is polling information from the device?
