Advantages of Modularity When Testing a Battery Management System
With the adoption of electric vehicles in the automotive and aerospace industries, a significant challenge is the effective testing and validation of the battery management system (BMS). Using modular, PXI-based switch and simulation modules offers many advantages in testing a BMS, including:
- A fully flexible test system that can be optimized to meet exactly what is needed and can be easily modified to address evolving requirements
- An industry-standard open architecture that promotes system longevity and mitigates obsolescence while providing seamless integration of multi-vendor instrumentation and communication modules
In this webinar, we'll examine the advantages of combining a multi-cell battery emulator with PXI switch and simulation modules such as high-voltage switching, fault insertion, and thermocouple and RTD simulation, as well as a CAN bus interface, to create a fully flexible BMS test system.
Key takeaways include:
- The challenges BMS testing presents
- The advantages of using a PXI modular platform
- An overview of Pickering’s PXI-based BMS test system
