METHODS OF MASTER BATTERY UNIT AND MODULE BATTERY UNIT MANAGEMENT, AND BATTERY SYSTEM

A method of operating a module battery management unit includes randomly selecting one number from among assignable identification numbers in response to an identifier assignment command, assigning the selected number as a temporary identifier, transmitting a first message including the temporary identifier in response to an identifier transmission command , receiving messages transmitted by the other module battery management unit in response to the identifier transmission command, and checking identifiers of the other module battery management unit from the messages, comparing the temporary identifier with identifiers of the other module battery management unit in response to an identifier comparison command , assigning the temporary identifier as a final identifier if the temporary identifier does not overlap with identifiers of the other module battery management unit, and transmitting a second message including the final identifier to the serial communication bus in response to an identifier check command.
