Chapter 1: Tiny BMS UART communication protocol

1. Introduction
Tiny BMS device includes a single multi-purpose UART interface. In combination with various converters,
the interface is compatible with USB, bluetooth and CAN interfaces. Various proprietary commands are
available for fast communication, also MODBUS commands 03 and 16 are supported for rapid integration
to existing industrial systems. An internal Tiny BMS device register map is given in Chapter 3. The register
map values can be read and modified using MODBUS and proprietary commands. This chapter in detail
covers all available commands implemented to communicate with Tiny BMS device. Every command
request and response contains 16 bit CRC checksum. How to calculate CRC value refer to Chapter 1.2.

Note: UART configuration: baudrate 115200 bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control. UART
configuration is not allowed to be changed by the user.

1.2. CRC checksum calculation

CRC stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check. It is two bytes added to the end of every command message for
error detection. Every byte in the message is used to calculate the CRC value. The receiving device also
must calculate the CRC and compare it to the CRC from sending device. If even one bit in the message is
received incorrectly, the CRC values will be different and will result in an error. In the Tiny BMS UART
communication protocol the CRC checksum is 16 bit value, calculated based on standard MODBUS CRC
polynomial x16+x15+x2+1 (0x8005 in HEX format). Below is the function example in C programming
language that can be used as a reference to calculate the 16 bit CRC value:

const static uint16_t crcTable[256]={

0x0000, 0xC0C1, 0xC181, 0x0140, 0xC301, 0x03C0, 0x0280, 0xC241,

1.3. UART communication examples

Note: If Tiny BMS device is in sleep mode, the first command must be send twice. After received the first
command BMS wakes up from sleep mode, but the response to the command will be sent when it
receives the command a second time. Tiny BMS does not enter sleep mode again while communication is
ongoing.

Chapter 2: Tiny BMS CAN bus communication protocol

2. Introduction
Tiny BMS device used along with Energus PS CAN-UART converter module gives an instant CAN bus
connectivity with the user side CAN controller or other industrial equipment. Various proprietary commands
are available for fast CAN bus communication. This chapter in detail covers all available commands
implemented to communicate with Tiny BMS device. An internal Tiny BMS registers map is given in
Chapter 3.

Note: CAN bitrate is 500 kbit/s (not allowed to change by the user). Default node ID after firmware update
is 0x01. When multi-slave CAN bus topology is used, node ID can be assigned with 19 Tiny BMS CAN
command. Automatic node ID assignment is not available.

Note: Tiny BMS CAN-UART converter works and CAN bus communication is available only when BMS
device is in active state (charging, discharging or Ignition enabled).
