Main - Remote Kit Orion 2
The Orion 2 BMS is a configurable system with a main unit and the option to add up to two remote modules, providing advanced, flexible battery management.
Orion 2 Battery Management System (BMS) Upgrades:
Enclosure Size & Weight Reduction:
Smaller enclosure for 24-72 cell configurations.
Approximately 40% weight reduction across all models, owing to a new enclosure design and a streamlined, removable heatsink. Note: Specific heat dissipation standards must be met.
Performance Enhancements:
Enhanced measurement accuracy and processor speed for advanced calculations and logic.
Direct hardware support for popular charging protocols, including SAE J1772 and CHAdeMO for DC fast charging.
Power Input & Compatibility:
Expanded input power voltage range: Now compatible with 12v-24vDC, ideal for heavy vehicles and equipment.
Orion 2 BMS continues to support 12v applications seamlessly.
Functional Improvements:
Capability to directly drive certain contactors on specific inputs, reducing the need for intermediate signal relays in some cases. Refer to supporting documentation for more details.
Redesigned series configuration using Remote Cell Tap Expansion Modules, simplifying multi-unit connections and enhancing reliability.
New Status LED for indicating power status and identifying faults.
Addition of two new Multi-Purpose Output pins with customizable functions.
Advanced algorithm and software updates to improve accuracy in parameters like State of Charge and pack health.
