Pickering Interfaces will showcase EV BMS test rig at The Battery Show North America 2023 in Novi, Michigan
Pickering Interfaces will showcase its Battery Management System (BMS) test demo at booth #2749 at The Battery Show North America 2023 in Novi, Michigan, USA from 12-14 September 2023.
The Battery Show, co-located with the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo, is the largest advanced battery and hybrid & electric vehicle (H/EV) technology event in North America. Its expertly curated technical conference will span new methods of advanced battery design and manufacturing, as well as forecasts on market supply chain and regulatory outlook. The event brings together battery and EV/HEV manufacturers, industry experts, thought leaders, and academics to help solve manufacturing, supply chain, and production challenges. More than 15,000 professionals and decision makers will be able to discover the latest products, technology, and solutions from more than 775 suppliers.
Outlining the BMS test demo, Paul Bovingdon, Simulation Product Manager at Pickering, explains: “With the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), one significant challenge to be tackled is the effective testing and validation of Battery Management Systems (BMS). Using modular, PXI-based switch and simulation modules offers many advantages in BMS test, including flexibility to optimize the test system to meet exact requirements; simple modification to address evolving needs; and an open, industry-standard architecture that promotes system longevity and mitigates obsolescence, while providing seamless integration of multi-vendor instrumentation modules.”
The BMS test demo includes the following Pickering products:
- 41-752A-011 PXI Battery Simulator – simulates batteries in a stacked architecture
- 40-190B-002 PXI Fault Insertion – simulates cell shorts and broken wires
- 40-297A-050 PXI Precision Resistor – simulates battery load
- 42-297A-150 PXIe Programmable Resistor – tests BMS isolation resistance check
- 41-743-001 PXI Programmable Power Supply – simulates battery charger
- 43-920-001 PXI Embedded Controller
- 42-925-001 PXIe 18-slot Chassis
