The Battery Show 2017

Steven Hoenig, Bloomy's Battery Test and Simulation Unit Manager to present at the Open Tech Forum.

Challenges and Solutions for Advanced Battery Management System (BMS) Test
Date: September 14 (day 3)
Time: 11:15 AM- 11:30 AM
Location: In the exhibition hall

• Understanding the concept of consistent, flexible, and scalable test system architectures, and how they benefit the development process
• Strong perspective on how leading BMS and xEV manufactures have used this concept to bring product to market rapidly and reliably
• The importance of battery simulation to provide more reliable and comprehensive testing of the BMS, ensuring safety and reliability of battery packs .

Visit Bloomy at booth #2116 in the exhibition hall. 

Bloomy will showcase the following products:

• The Battery Simulator 1200 is a 12-cell simulator that is the building block of all of Bloomy’s BMS test systems. Each cell has individually programmable voltage levels and current limits, 1,000 V of isolation, and can dynamically sink and source current similar to a real battery.
   
• The Battery Fault Insertion Unit (FIU) provides intelligent switching of cell-simulation channels for the Battery Simulator 1200. The switching capability enables simulation of open-circuit and short-to-rail fault conditions on any cell channel for the purposes of battery management system (BMS) testing.
   
• A desktop demonstration version of the BMS HIL Test System simulates a complete battery pack in order to test the BMS in real time. It is ideal for iteratively testing and optimizing BMS firmware, including cell balancing algorithms, SOC, SOH, safety interlocks, and many more conditions.
