In the recognition technology between the master BMS and the plurality of slave BMSs based on the conventional hardware configuration, the MCU of each BMS recognizes a master BMS and a plurality of slave BMSs by designing a plurality of switches or constructing separate optional resistors. The recognition technology between the master BMS and the slave BMS based on the hardware configuration increases the production cost of the BMS in proportion to the configuration of the hardware and it is difficult to cause the operation error of the BMS product itself when setting the wrong hardware by the user have.

The recognition technique between the master BMS and the plurality of slave BMSs based on the conventional hardware configuration is such that the two BMSs exchange their serial numbers through communication and compare the priority between the received serial numbers and their own serial numbers The master BMS and the slave BMS. That is, the two BMSs select only the master BMS through a simple comparison of the serial numbers, and then consider the remaining BMSs as slave BMSs. In the case of a system in which two or more BMSs are configured in parallel, an error may occur in the recognition process between the master BMS and the plurality of slave BMSs.

Therefore, in a system in which two or more BMSs are configured in parallel, it is required to develop a master BMS and a slave BMS recognition technology of a plurality of new battery pack systems that can be recognized between a master BMS and a slave BMS without adding a separate hardware configuration .
