How Batrium controls inverter and charger?

I am consideringBatrium for my setup, but I cannot understand from the manuals how it controls inverter and charger? I seethere are 2 outputs to connect relays ("Output A" and "Output B") but nowhere in the docs does it say what these outputs do.Is that something configured in software? Can "Output A" disable charger to prevent overcharging and "Output B" to disable inverter to prevent over-discharging?

Thank you!
 
You should set charging parameter and load parameters om inverters and Charger Side.... The bms is last resort to shut down in event of failure

With that Said you can configure batrium to controll output based om voltages but that is for emergency controlling. Batrium can also controll some systems via canbus. Please Read about that om their webpage

I did read the canbus page before posting :). I have Victron Multiplus and Batrium needsColor Control GS to control Victron via canbus. Buying CCGS is another $500 that I do not have in the budget.

I was hoping for a simple on/off integration with both charger and inverter IO pins on the Victron side. My powerwall is for emergency power outage once/twice a year. I do not collect solar and I want "fire and forget" system with maximum safety. I do not want to check voltages daily.The more safety features the better. Cells in the packs are already individually fused, packs are in the steel cabinet. A BMS with shutdown controls would complete it.
 
The A & B outputs are simply switched negative FETs, so you can connect any suitable relay, contactor etc - which in turn can be used to turne on/off whatever equipment you wish to control.

The manner in which these outputs are triggered is by implementing some logic, from within the Control Logic page, using any of the numerous parameters.

An overly simplistic example would be to use shunt voltage high and low to turn on/off your charge. That's overly simplistic as you'd sensibly need to use some control logic based on cell voltage as well.
