Chelmsford, MA – Pickering Interfaces will showcase its Battery Management System (BMS) test demo on booth 2045 at Automotive Testing Expo 2023, India, at the Chennai Trade Centre Complex from 18-20 April 2023. It is the world’s leading show for automotive testing, development, and validation technologies.
Automotive Testing Expo takes place annually in Europe, America and China. Further, in alternate years in India and South Korea. Manufacturers of cars, trucks, buses, and two- & three-wheel vehicles, plus automotive component suppliers, visit the show to source products and services.
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). Using modular, PXI-based switch and simulation modules offers many advantages in BMS test. These 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
