Battery management systems (BMS) track the states of charge and health of batteries in electric vehicles, aircraft, and energy storage systems. Cell monitoring units (CMU), which are a vital part of the BMS, monitor the state of individual cells. With the cell monitoring device emulation (CMDE) solution, you can emulate these CMUs along with the battery cells to safely and efficiently test your BMS and its components – without the need for physical chipsets.
Obtain comprehensive test coverage by safely testing all operating conditions, including edge cases and faults, and analyze the BMS’ response. Emulate up to 64 CMUs on one configurable I/O module installed in a real-time test system. Scale up your testing by integrating emulated CMUs and the battery cell emulator with real CMUs to continuously improve and refine your BMS algorithm.
Key Features
- Emulate ADBMS6832 and ADBMS6833 cell monitoring units from analog devices
- Emulate up to 64 CMUs per I/O module, reducing the need for multiple physical battery monitoring devices
- Safely inject faults to test for edge cases
- Read the state of the CMU to perform real-time diagnostics, such as the cell voltage and current, configuration registers, command counter, core state, communication state
