Large battery-management systems need scale without losing safe access to the device under test.

At a glance

  • 204 emulated cells
  • Isolation-resistor faults
  • CAN and EtherCAT monitoring
  • Safety-linked DUT drawers

Why this mattered

Hundreds of channels, temperature sensors and isolation conditions create a dense electrical interface. Uncontrolled access can undermine both operator safety and test repeatability.

The system approach

The featured system provides 204 emulated cells, sensor simulation, isolation-resistor faults, CAN and EtherCAT monitoring and safety-linked DUT drawers.

What the project shows

The project demonstrates how channel scale, fault depth and mechanical safety can be engineered as one test system rather than added independently.
