Real-Time Simulator ā€“ The Brain of Your Testbed.

HIL606

At the core of our BMS HIL Testbed lies the HIL606, a powerful real-time simulator that acts as the brain of your entire operation. Capable of emulating models with down to 200 ns time steps, the HIL606 supports up to a quad-motor system per device, handling both analog and digital I/O, along with robust interfaces for standard automotive communication protocols. This is the precision and flexibility your BMS testing deserves.

The Backbone of BMS Testing.

Smart Cell Emulator

Our testbedā€™s Smart Cell Emulator is designed to ensure your BMS performs flawlessly. With 24 high-precision cells and 6 thermistor emulators, you have the tools to test across various voltage levels. Key features include:

  • Selectable CV and CC modes for BMS and cell testing
  • Output voltage range: 0 V to 8 V (with negative voltage option: -8 V to 0 V)
  • Output current: Ā±1 A
  • Dual-range current measurement with accuracy < Ā±5 ĀµA Ā±0.05% FS
  • Fault insertion capabilities: Open Circuit, Short Circuit, and Reverse Polarity
  • Thermistor Emulation with 10 kĪ© NTC and 10 Ī© resolution

This comprehensive configuration makes the Smart Cell Emulator an indispensable part of your testing arsenal, ensuring precise and flexible validation for every aspect of your BMS.
