Pickering Interfaces to exhibit PXI-based BMS testing tech at Battery Tech Expo 2023
Pickering Interfaces, will showcase its PXI-based switching and simulation solutions combined in a fully flexible Battery Management System test demo on stand 7C at Battery Tech Expo 2023 at Lindholmen Conference Centre, Gothenburg, Sweden on 28th September 2023.
The battery industry is going through a power revolution, with tech companies investing heavily in the next generation of battery development and energy storage. Battery Tech Expo is the number one event across the Nordic battery industry value chain, bringing together professionals from across the advanced battery technology and energy storage sectors. The event will showcase the latest products, technologies and services spanning battery management systems, energy storage, EV & mobile device batteries, manufacturing and advanced materials, through to R&D, design, safety and second life.
Highlighting the benefits of using modular PXI-based switch and simulation products in BMS test systems, 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 on show 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 a battery charger
- 43-920-001 PXI Embedded Controller
- 42-925-001 PXIe 18-slot Chassis
In addition to the BMS test demo, Pickering will also highlight the following products on stand 7C at Battery Tech Expo 2023, Sweden:
- PXI & LXI high voltage switching solutions.
- PXI fault insertion, programmable resistor, and thermocouple simulation modules.
- Supporting cables and connectors
- eBIRST Switching System Test Tools – designed to simplify system fault-finding by quickly testing the system and graphically identifying the faulty relay.
