Learn about BMS test techniques using commercially available cell simulation hardware that increase safety, efficiency, repeatability and coverage
Many battery and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of battery-electric products utilize actual Li-ion battery cells for testing electronic systems, including the battery management system (BMS). There are significant limitations with this approach in the various stages of product design, development and production.
Bloomy's Battery Test and Simulation Unit Manager, Steven Hoenig and Maplesoft's Vice President of Engineering Solutions, Paul Goossens present on model-based battery management systems (BMS) testing as a safe and efficient alternative to the more traditional approach of using physical battery cells.
View this webinar to learn how by combining MapleSim’s high-fidelity battery models and the Bloomy BMS HIL Test System, it is now easier to safely and efficiently test and develop advanced BMS firmware for enhanced battery performance.

Bloomy and Maplesoft® Collaborate on Battery Modeling and Simulation for BMS Testing
WINDSOR, Conn., October 18, 2017 – Bloomy Controls Inc. (Bloomy) and Maplesoft today announced a collaboration to combine industry-leading battery models from Maplesoft with Bloomy’s BMS HIL Test System in order to safely and accurately simulate advanced-chemistry batteries for testing battery management systems (BMS) using real hardware.
Battery management system (BMS) testing has different challenges at different phases of the development lifecycle, from hardware prototype, embedded software development, regression testing, validation, to PCBA manufacturing test. A common requirement is simulating the battery in a safe, efficient, and repeatable manner, including charging, discharging, cell balancing, SOx, as well as simulating common battery faults such as over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, short-circuit, and open circuit.
Hardware-in-the-loop test is the standard approach to validating the design of xEV systems including the battery management system electronics and firmware. Explore an open systems architecture approach to HIL test system implementation including the overall benefits demonstrated by market-leading xEV companies like LG Chem and Jaguar Land Rover.

Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) testing is an essential approach for validating the hardware and firmware of an automotive ECU, including the battery management system (BMS) electronics of hybrid and electric vehicles (xEVs). An HIL Simulator is used to simulate the xEV battery including cell chemistry, drive cycles, and numerous fault conditions; without the hazards of real batteries, or the cost of prototype vehicles and track time.
