Battery Management System

The n3-BMS by Sensata Technologies (Attleboro, MA) is an ISO 26262 certified, flexible, cell chemistry agnostic distributed BMS consisting of a master control unit and up to 30 cell monitoring units with next-gen features implemented to address some of the most pressing automotive, safety, and performance challenges heavy vehicle OEMs face. Even though the n3-BMS is a certified product, the n3-BMS maintain software flexibility by using a unique software structure that allows users to adjust key BMS parameters and even include their own code and algorithms without any risk on the ISO 26262 certification. The n3-BMS’s master control unit is fully compatible with Sensata Technologies / Lithium Balance’s other high voltage distributed BMS solution, the n-BMS, allowing customers to easily and cost-efficiently upgrade from n-BMS to n3-BMS once a certified solution is required.

Battery Simulator

The Battery Simulator 1200 by Bloomy (South Windsor, CT) provides 12 programmable cell channels that sink and source current for testing battery management systems and battery-sensitive electronics. The cell channels are isolated to enable series connections for simulating battery modules, strings, and packs. The instrument is controlled from a computer connected via Ethernet or high-speed CAN. The 1U rackmountable instrument can operate on a benchtop or stacked within a 19” rackmount enclosure. A soft front panel provides easy access to the unit for basic testing and initial startup, while software drivers and CAN database are ideal for automated test system integration. Built-in voltage and current readback sensing provide accurate cell voltage measurements and control without external monitoring equipment. The Battery Simulator 1200 is FCC and CE certified and relied upon by electrification companies globally.
