BDT1012
Primary Test Equipment
The test equipment can be used in several areas, from Research & Development to production Quality Control and incoming goods inspection.By adding more testers in a fieldbus (CAN) network, the number of channels can easily be expanded.
This system is able to test simultaneously and independently more than 5.000 batteries per controller.
Easy Test Setup
Preparing a test can be done off-line on an existing desktop PC, using a graphical user interface. The end-user can define the specific test by means of an Event Table. The PC communicates with the Battery Tester over the CAN network interface to load the test conditions and upload the measurement data.
Every unit of 24 channels works fully independently. It is microprocessor-controlled and uses a dynamic electronic load to obtain a very high accuracy, reliability and flexibility.
Each channel has its own programmable discharge-profile. This profile is a composition of several events. Every event consists of a time interval, a type of load and a value. The load is a constant or intermittent current, resistance or power. With this test system, it is possible to perform pulses of 10 msec! This means typical continuous or intermittent lifecycle and application tests can be performed (toys, pagers, pc…).
This Battery Discharge Test System is designed according to the latest standards in electronics and informatics. Data-integrity is always guaranteed during a power-failure, network or pc-controller breakdown.
Auxiliary Input and Output Systems (AIO’s)
Auxiliary Input and Output Systems (AIOS) obtain additional data such as individual cell temperatures or individual cell voltages, read digital inputs and control analog & digital outputs. Data received from these sensors are sent to the SBTXX50 via CAN communication. This data can be used in the test program as triggers or end conditions.
Configuration
Each AIOS backplane has 8 slots which can be equipped with different I/O modules. These I/O modules are pluggable and fit in one of the eight slots of the AIOS. Different AIOS backplanes can be connected through daisy-chain with the internal CANbus of the SBTXX50. Up to 1000 aux I/O’s can be controlled by one SBTXX50.
When connected to the internal CANbus of the SBTXX50, the Lifetest Software allows a flexible mapping of the I/O modules to each channel of the SBTXX50. The AIOS can also be connected to the CANbus interface of an individual channel. The sampling time of the modules is then increased from 1 second to 100 msec. The possible configurations can be found on the backside of this document.
Different IO’s
The AIOS backplane supports 6 types of I/O-modules: analog voltage input, analog voltage ouput, digital input, digital output and temperature sensor input (RTD modules for thermistors and THC modules for thermocouples). Technical specifications of these modules can be found on the backside of this document.
