BLUESHAPE BSMon v3.0 - Manual (Page 13)

gives some information about the status of the Permanent Failure register that keeps track of critical errors. Each bit
is set ON when higlighted, OFF when grayed.
PFF: with our current settings this bit should always remain gray.
PFIN: with our current settings this bit should always remain gray.
FETF: if set, this indicates a FET or FET driver failure occurred.
CIMB: if set, this indicates that a severe cell imbalance occurred during charging.
AFE: if set, this indicates that an AFE integrity fault state occurred meaning that the settings of the safety IC
chip may not be consistent.
SOTD: if set, this indicates a safety overtemperature in discharge occurred.
SOTC: if set, this indicates a safety overtemperature in charge occurred.
SOV: if set, this indicates a safety overvoltage occurred.
gives some informations about the mosFET status.
Ch-FET: shows the status of the FET that enables/disables charge current. If ON, charge is allowed. If OFF,
charge is not allowed as a consequence of a safety protection condition. In case of cells with very low
voltage, the normal fast charge is not allowed to avoid damaging cells: charge FET is set to OFF, but a
special precharge path is allowed with very low currents (in the order of almost 20mA). In this special case
the State indicator will show "precharge".
Dch-FET: shows the status of the FET that enables/disables discharge current. If ON, discharge is allowed; if
OFF discharge is not allowed as a consequence of a safety protection condition.
State: displays numerical and alphabetical description of the current battery state
Buttons
Each button performs an action.
The read button, when enabled, permits cyclic reading of the battery parameters and status bits. Depending on the
speed of the PC, the refresh rate should be approximately 1 second.
When cyclically reading data from the battery, the relevant battery information is logged and stored for charting
purposes. Previously logged data, if existing, is overwritten by the new data unless the Shift button is pressed
together with this button. In this case, the most recent logged data is held and appended.
When Read is started, the caption turns to Stop: when Stop is pressed, the read action is ended and the last values
read are retained and displayed.
If the Read button is disabled (grayed), it means that there is no communication with the battery. Please refer to the
troubleshooting section.
