Clacton-on-Sea, UK– Pickering Interfaces will showcase its Battery Management System (BMS) test demo on stand D:27 at Advanced Engineering 2023, Sweden, at the Prioritet Serneke Arena in Gothenburg from 19-20 April 2023.

Advanced Engineering is dedicated to product development and purchasing within the manufacturing industry. Further, the show is the meeting place in Sweden for engineers developing new and existing products, alongside strategic purchasing professionals, covering everything from design and concept to the right materials, components, and electronics.

Outlining the BMS test demo, Paul Bovingdon, Simulation Product Manager at Pickering explains: “With increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), one significant challenge to be tackled is the effective testing and validation of Battery Management Systems (BMS). Further, 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 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 battery charger
  • 43-920-001 PXI Embedded Controller
  • 42-925-001 PXIe 18-slot Chassis

Further, in addition to its BMS test demo, Pickering will also highlight the following products on stand D:27 at Advanced Engineering 2023, Sweden:

  • PXI & LXI high voltage switching solutions.
  • PXI fault insertion, programmable resistor and thermocouple simulation modules.
  • eBIRST Switching System Test Tools – designed to simplify system fault-finding by quickly testing the system and graphically identifying the faulty relay.

Meanwhile, Pickering Interfaces stands behind all of its manufactured products with a standard three-year warranty and guaranteed long-term product support.
