2.2.7.3 TOBI® PI OPERATION
The control has the ability to communicate with a Tobi® PI battery module. In order for communication to occur, it has to
be enabled in the control. This is accomplished by setting the ‘BC’ parameter (see table 1).
Setting the BC parameter to 0 disables communication.
Setting the BC parameter to 1 enables normal communication. While the battery is connected to the charger, information is
transferred between the charger and the Tobi® PI on the battery including the battery temperature. In order for the charger
to utilize the temperature, the temperature sensor must also be enabled. Refer to the preceding section on thermal sensor
operation.
Setting the BC parameter to 2 enables normal communication as well as algorithm upload. In addition to the information
transferred during normal mode, the charger also uploads and utilizes a charge algorithm from the Tobi® PI on the battery.
This can be useful if multiple battery types or AH sizes are used on the same charger. Refer to the Tobi® PI manual for
instructions on setting the charge algorithm. Note: If the communication between the charger and Tobi® PI fails, the
charger utilizes its own algorithm settings to charge the battery.
