Figure 3-17 shows the BMU and BMU ring communication.
The BCU collects the rack information including voltage, current, and insulation resistance from HMU or the high-voltage-side ADC in a duty cycle to protect the system from overcurrent and estimate an accurate SOC. This duty cycle can be as short as 1 ms for some certain filtering algorithms. The BCU collects the cell information from the BMU including cell voltage, cell temperature in a duty cycle of 100 ms. A bidirectional communication is required for a robust communication structure. Considering that the communication period is different, it is more preferable for HMU to use an single daisy chain than to use a shared daisy chain with BMU.
