Cell Emulator card

Description of the Cell Emulator card for HIL Connect hardware

Note: For more information on how to configure your card in Typhoon HIL Control Center, please refer to the Cell Emulator card parameterization documentation.

The BMS Cell Emulator card is designed to provide battery cell emulation capabilities. It includes a controlled voltage output (operated by a HIL AO) and a current measurement input (linked to a HIL AI). Additionally, the card is equipped with fault insertion features (controlled via HIL DO) and can simulate reverse polarity.
