apis-dcdc_batt_comm

Introduction

The dcdc_batt_comm component is a Device Driver for actual control of hardware to implement energy sharing according to instructions from apis-main. The controlled DC/DC Converter is assumed to be the TDK-Lambda EZA2500(EZA-2500-32048SC0), with communication using the proprietary TDK Lambda protocol via RS485. The battery to be controlled is designed for communication using the Modbus RTU communication protocol via RS485. Communication with apis-main is accomplished via a Web API developed by Sony CSL and implemented on a Python Bottle Web server running on dcdc_batt_comm.
