View original publicationThe Advanced variant of the battery cell simulator supports continuous source and sink currents up to 7.5 A per cell and cascading of emulated cells up to a stack voltage of 1500 V.
The BCS Compact Advanced modules deliver up to 7.5 A at 5 V cell voltage; the previous 6 A remain available at 8 V. They retain cable-break, cell-short-circuit and cell-polarity-reversal simulation, with precision of 2 mA and 0.5 mV for both measurement and generation of current and voltage.
During alternating current (AC) charging, the vehicle’s on-board charger can expose the BMS (battery management system) to electromagnetic interference. Filtering must reject this interference while preserving dynamic cell behaviour.
To evaluate that balance, Voltage Oscillation superimposes a quasi-sine interference signal on the DC voltage. The amplitude is individually adjustable per cell up to 35 mV (70 mVpp), with a frequency of 1 to 1000 Hz.
Also special: this new feature can be updated to delivered BCS Gen. 8 and even on request to Gen. 7, which is covered by the software maintenance at no additional cost.
