BMS RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD

The present disclosure relates to a BMS recognition system and method for effectively recognizing a master BMS and a slave BMS in a battery pack having a plurality of BMSs. The BMS recognition system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a system for recognizing a BMS included in a battery pack, and comprises: a master BMS having a master light emitting unit, the master BMS being configured to flicker the master light emitting unit to transmit an operation mode shifting signal to a slave BMS when it is intended to shift an operation mode of the slave BMS; and a slave BMS having a slave light receiving unit configured to correspond to the master light emitting unit, the slave BMS being configured to recognize the flickering of the master light emitting unit through the slave light receiving unit and shift the operation mode thereof in response to the operation mode shifting signal.
