CAN bus

The serial network over which a BMS talks to the vehicle or inverter: a two-wire differential bus, defined in ISO 11898, carrying short prioritised messages at up to 1 Mbit/s, or faster with CAN FD. Every node hears every message, and a dominant bit wins arbitration without any collision.

CANopen

A higher-layer protocol on CAN used in industrial machines, forklifts and light vehicles; device profiles CiA 418 and 419 define how a battery module and a charger exchange status and limits.

DBC file

The de-facto text format, from Vector, that describes a CAN network: which messages exist, their identifiers and timing, and how each signal is packed, scaled and named. Without the BMS’s DBC a CAN log is just numbers.

Electric bus

A battery-electric city or coach bus, with packs of 300–700 kWh on the roof and at the rear, LFP or NMC, charged overnight in the depot or at the terminus by pantograph. Its duty cycle — long hours, deep daily cycles, a twelve-year life — makes battery aging the central engineering question.

FMS interface

The manufacturer-independent CAN data interface of trucks and buses, defined by the major European OEMs, that exposes vehicle data — including, for electric vehicles, battery state of charge, charging status and energy consumption — to fleet-management telematics.
