1 PC-Software connection
Connect the BMS device, double-click "RfnBMS_Tools.exe" and the following interface will
appear
1. The PC-Software automatically detects the serial port, selects the corresponding serial port
number and baud rate, and then clicks "Open port"
2. In stand-alone mode, the other options are just as default, and then click "Start Monitoring"
to communicate with the BMS.
For parallel communication, select 232/485 parallel type in "Multi type", as shown in the
figure below, and then "Starting" button。

2 Real-time monitoring, parallel monitoring,

storage information
2.1 Real time monitoring
The "Monitor" page is as follows:
“Cell volt(mV) and balance”function block description：
● The balance status shows green, indicating that the cell is being balanced.
2.2 Parallel monitoring

Select the "Multi Monitoring" function page, click the "Display" button, and check
"Record Data" to start parallel monitoring and save the data.
Click "Export Data" to export the data of the .csv file type, which can be opened with
excel, and then saved as an excel file to perform the required operations.
2.3 Store information (ie Historical records)

Select the “Store info”function button, the interface is as follows:
● Click "Read Records" to start reading the historical records of the BMS, and the
"Total Data" that is the total number of records will be displayed. During the
reading process, you can click "Pause"
● Click "Save Records" to export the read records, which are saved as a .csv file by
default.
● Click "Delete Record" to delete all records;

3 Read and write protection parameters

Click on the "Protect Para " function page, as shown below：
● "Select all" and "Unselect all" to facilitate all reading or custom reading
operations.
● "Read all"/"write all", read or write the checked content items;
● "Export para", export and save the parameters displayed on this page on the host
computer to the computer, the default is "alarmParm.xml" file, which is convenient
for backing up the protection parameters;
● "Import para", import the previously saved protection parameters to the host
computer, and then perform operations as required.
【Note】Remember not to import the file incorrectly, because there is no file

parameter recognition function! ! !
● "Set default para" is to restore the default parameters compiled into the code.
Note that this is not the default factory default parameters of the customer,
because they are generally modified as required before leaving the factory.
【Note】Protection parameters generally have threshold limits, so if the modified

parameters exceed the threshold range, writing may fail.
4 Reading and writing of system parameters

Click the “System CFG”function page, as shown in the figure below：
● "Select all" and "Unselect all" to facilitate all reading or custom reading
operations.
● "Read all"/"write all", read or write the checked content items;
● "Export para", export and save the parameters displayed on this page on the host
computer to the computer, the default is "systemParam.xml" file, which is
convenient for backing up system parameters;
● "Import para", import the previously saved system parameters to the upper
computer, and then perform operations as required.
【Note】Remember not to import the file incorrectly, because there is no file

parameter recognition function! ! !
● "Set default para" is to restore the default parameters compiled into the code.
Note that this is not the default factory default parameters of the customer,
because they are generally modified as required before leaving the factory.
5 "Update BMS ", that is,upgrade BMS program

Click the "Update BMS" function page, as shown below：
5.1 Select “Serial port” and “Pack addr”

After selecting the serial port and Pack addr, click "Open Serial".
【Note】 Pack addr is the address of the BMS DIP switch, if there is no DIP switch, Pack
addr is generally 0
5.2 Select the program file to be upgraded

Click the "File" button and select the .bin file to be upgraded.
【Note】Be sure to confirm the .bin file to be upgraded.
5.3 Upgrade steps

● Load the upgrade file, click "File", and select the upgraded .bin file. Note that you
must select the .bin file. 【Note】Be sure to confirm the .bin file to be upgraded.
● Click "Update", the host computer will send instructions to BMS to enter the
upgrade mode and start the upgrade; if there is no response, you can wait 5~7S
and click again.
If the upgrade fails halfway, just click "Reload", if there is no response, wait
5~7 seconds and click again.
During the upgrade process, the host computer cannot enter other function
pages to prevent interrupting the upgrade process and causing abnormalities.
● After the upgrade is successful, it will prompt "upgrade complete" and display
"Pass", as shown below:
5.4 Emergency treatment of abnormal upgrade

Sometimes through normal upgrade operations, you cannot enter the upgrade mode. In
this case, you can start "Revive" and let the BMS enter the upgrade mode. After entering the
upgrade mode, click "Stop emergency" and then press the normal Upgrade mode operation.
6 CAN communication (including communication

monitoring, modification of settings, upgrades,
etc.)
6.1 CAN supports stand-alone and parallel communication
CAN communication supports stand-alone and parallel communication, as shown below.
6.2 "Update BMS program" supports CAN
6.3 Tool setting parameters for USB to serial to CAN
USB to serial port baud rate: You can set it according to your needs. It is recommended
to set it to 115200, which is fast enough;
CAN baud rate: The current default is 500Kbps, which cannot be changed
CAN transparent transmission frame ID: 0x1669C33C
CAN frame type: extended frame
CAN sub-packet interval: between 1ms and 5ms, as long as normal communication is
sufficient.
