Rapid prototyping BMS Master

30 November 2022 – IKERLAN has developed a novel BMS-Master compatible with the advanced BMS slaves and the cell-integrated SENSIBAT temperature and pressure sensor.

The developed BMS-master hardware board is based on a rapid prototyping platform composed by a Raspberry PI 4 model B and an Arduino Due. Using the developed BMS Master it will be possible to quickly make multiple versions of the SENSIBAT SoX algorithms and begin testing or validating quicker. The rapid prototyping of a BMS allows software designers to give an accurate concept of how the finished product will work out before putting too much time and money into the prototype.

The objective was to develop a BMS-master to allow a reliable and optimal use of the capabilities based on improved accuracy state algorithms for a series connected six cell module with integrated novel sensors.

The results from this research will be used to evaluate information from the BMS-slave(s) which can read-out the cell-integrated SENSIBAT sensor, as well as the cell voltages and carries out the operations to control a module consisting of 6 series-connected cells.
