BS120x Ethernet Python Library (bs120xenet)

Python Ethernet driver for Bloomy Controls BS120x. For detailed information on Bs120x operation refer to the user manual available at https://www.bloomy.com/products/battery-management-system-testing/battery-simulator-1201.

Important

Currently, this library only supports BS1201. If you are using BS1200, contact Bloomy for firmware updates to support this driver.

Features

• Supports Windows and Linux
• Implements all commands supported by the BS1201
• Implemented as a wrapper around the the C/C++ library for consistent interface across languages

Installation

See docs/installation.rst for installation instructions.

Example Usage

from bs120xenet import Bs120xEnet
from time import sleep

with Bs120xEnet() as client:
    # connect to the unit
    client.connect(interface_ip, device_ip, udp_port)

    # request configuration information
    client.query_config()

    # wait to receive configuration
    sleep(0.1)
    config = client.get_unit_config()

    print(f"Serial number: {config.get_serial_number()}")
    print(f"Firmware version: {config.get_firmware_version()}")

    # set Cell 0 to 5V, 0.1A sinking and sourcing current limits
    client.set_cell_voltage(0, 5)
    client.set_cell_sink_current(0, 0.1)
    client.set_cell_source_current(0. 0.1)
    client.enable_cell(0, True)

    sleep(0.1)

    # read back Cell 0 voltage
    v = client.get_cell_voltage(0)
    print(f"Cell 0 Voltage: {v} V")

    client.enable_cell(0, False)
    client.disconnect()
