5.6 Commissioning Parallel Systems When commissioning a system with parallel batteries ensure that all batteries are set to ON before the power electronics are energized. 6. Networking 6.1 AE Bus Network The AE Bus is utilized by all networked AES batteries to coordinate all voltage, temperature, and current data. Network Terminators are required for proper functioning of the AE Bus network. Care should be taken to ensure they are installed. 6.
