Use the following guidelines to set up
the equipment:
- Set power supply 1 for 40 VDC, 8
A current limit and then turn off the supply.
- Connect the output of power
supply 1 in series with a current meter to J1 (VIN and PGND).
- Connect a voltage meter across J1
(VIN) and J1 (PGND).
- Connect load 1 in series with a
current meter to J3 (VBAT and PGND).
- Connect a voltage meter across J5
(VBAT and PGND).
- Setting load #1
- If load #1 is a
four-quadrant or two-quadrant power supply, set the ouput voltage to
23.5V and current limit to 6A
- If load #1 is an
electronic load in constant voltage mode, set the constant voltage to
23.5V
- Install the jumpers as indicated
in IO and Jumper Descriptions.
- Unplug Jumper 13.
- If using Battery Management Studio, use the following steps:
- Connect J5 to the EV2400. Connect J5 to the I2C PORT 2 on the
EV2400
- Turn on the computer and open the bqStudio software.
- Select Charger and
click the Next button.
- Select
Charger_1_00_BQ25751.bqz on the Select a Target
Page.
- Click Field View
after selecting the target device and then click the Read
Register button.
- Set WATCHDOG and EN_CHG
to disabled. In the 16 Bit Registers, set ICHG_REG to 4000mA
- If using TI Charger GUI, use the
following steps:
- Connect J4 to the
USB2ANY. Turn on the computer.
- Navigate to the TI Charger GUI website and select the
charger you are using:
- You should see at the
top-left, Hardware Connected. After you see the hardware is connected,
select the plug icon on the left panel.
- This is the Charger
Configuration window. Click the Read All Register button at the top,
then set WATCHDOG and EN_CHG to disabled. Set ICHG_REG to 4000mA.
-
Here is a brief
description of what the other icons on the left side panel mean.
Select through these icons to configure other operations of the
battery charger.
- Set EN_CHG to enabled and plug in
Jumper 13.
- Set power supply 1 to 40 V,
measure:
V(J1(VAC)) = 40 V ±
0.5 V
I(J1(IAC)) = 1.6A
± 0.5 A
V(J3(VBAT)) = 23.5V ± 0.5 V I(J3(IBAT)) = 2 A ± 0.5
A
- Set power supply 1 for 23 V,
measure:
V(J1(VAC)) = 23 V ±
0.5 V
I(J1(IAC)) = 2.1
A ± 0.5 A
V(J3(VBAT)) = 23.5 V ± 0.5 V I(J3(IBAT)) = 2 A ± 0.5
A
- Set power supply 1 for 10 V,
measure:
V(J1(VAC)) = 10 V ±
0.5 V
I(J1(IAC)) = 5 A
± 0.5 A
V(J3(VBAT)) = 23.5 V ± 0.5 V I(J3(IBAT)) = 2 A ± 0.5
