B. <strong>HESC</strong> Function Command Details<br />
1. BattTempCmd() 0x08<br />
Description:<br />
Returns the batteries internal temperature (°K). The actual operational temperature range will typically be in the range<br />
of -20°C to +75°C.<br />
Purpose:<br />
The BattTempCmd() function provides accurate cell temperatures for use by <strong>HESC</strong>-SER and Host management<br />
system. The <strong>HESC</strong> is able to use the temperature as a safety check and the Host may use the temperature in it's<br />
thermal management. (Kelvin units are used to facilitate simple unsigned handling of temperature information and to<br />
permit easy conversion to other units.)<br />
Protocol: Read Word<br />
Output: unsigned int -- cell temperature in tenth degree Kelvin increments<br />
Units: 0.1°K<br />
Range: 0 to +6553.5°K<br />
2. BattVCmd() 0x09<br />
Description:<br />
Returns the battery voltage (mV).<br />
Purpose:<br />
The BattVCmd() function provides the Host power management system with an accurate battery voltage. The Host<br />
management system can use this voltage, along with battery current information to help enable intelligent, adaptive<br />
power management systems.<br />
Protocol: Read Word<br />
Output: unsigned int -- battery terminal voltage in milli-volts<br />
Units: mV<br />
Range: 0 to 65,535 mV<br />
3. BattICmd() 0x0A<br />
Description:<br />
Returns the current being supplied (or accepted) through the battery (mA).<br />
Purpose:<br />
The BattICmd() function provides a snapshot for the Host power management system of the current flowing into or out<br />
of the battery. This information will be of particular use in the Host power management system because it can<br />
characterize individual devices and "tune" their operation to actual system power behavior.<br />
Protocol: Read Word<br />
Output: signed int -- charge/discharge rate in mA increments - positive for charge, negative for discharge<br />
Units: mA<br />
Range: 0 to 32,767 mA for charge or<br />
0 to -32,768 mA for discharge<br />
