Multipurpose Module for SLSC

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy’s Multipurpose Module for SLSC provides a convenient location in an SLSC system for applications ranging from a simple rearrangement of signals to installation of circuits and components. Both front panel connectors are mapped to screw terminals, through holes, and surface-mount technology pads thus accommodating a wide variety of components. Breakout areas for all rear transition interface (RTI) pins simplify integration into SLSC-based systems. On-board power supplies (±15VDC, +5V, and +3.3V) are also made available for the user’s analog and digital circuits. The module features a considerable amount of available board space for user applications.

Systems Integration (SIL) Lab Data Acquisition

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy’s SIL data system allows testing and simulation of every system component on the aircraft. The functionality of these complex integrated systems are fully tested, debugged, and verified safely in the lab prior to flight testing. This reduces cost and schedule for new aircraft. Bloomy has applied its expertise to multiple SILs.

Battery Simulator

1200

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

1200 - Bloomy Controls, Inc.

The Battery Simulator 1200 provides isolated channels to simulate battery sink and source characteristics often used for testing a Battery Management System (BMS). The instrument can be used standalone with the soft front panel, or integrated into a larger test system. Its proper industrial cooling and cell channel isolation allows units to be easily stacked, providing solutions with over 200 channels of simulation capability. The built-in channel voltage and current readback reduces the need for external monitoring equipment.

Battery Fault Insertion Unit

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

The Battery Fault Insertion Unit (FIU) provides intelligent switching of cell-simulation channels for the Battery Simulator 1200. The switching capability enables simulation of open-circuit and short-to-rail fault conditions on any cell channel for the purposes of battery management system (BMS) testing. Additionally, a four-wire auxiliary input allows you to connect an external digital multimeter (DMM) instrument to any cell channel for very high-accuracy bypass current and cell voltage measurements. Each FIU provides 24 independently-programmable cell-switching channels for one or two 12-cell Battery Simulator 1200 units. Additional Battery Simulator 1200 and FIU instruments can extend functionality up to 120 series-connected cell channels.
