Battery Management Systems Testing
Bloomy Controls, Inc. (Bloomy)
A Battery Management System (BMS) is an embedded unit performing critical battery functions, including cell monitoring and balancing, pack charge and discharge control, safety, and communications. The BMS must be tested early in development to optimize control algorithms, as well as during manufacturing to ensure reliable functionality. Bloomy’s family of BMS test systems provides a consistent platform for engineers to bring a BMS to market faster, and more reliably.

Battery Simulator
1200
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.

BMS Manufacturing Test System
The Battery Management System (BMS) Manufacturing Test System performs functional testing of product during end-of-line manufacturing. The system hardware includes all instrumentation to test a BMS, including multiple cell simulators, a mass interconnect for quick product transition and bed-of-nail fixtures to ensure less down time, higher throughput, and easy maintenance. The system application easily integrates into manufacturing processes, provides a method to test multiple product types, and optimizes tests to ensure only good product is released from manufacturing.

Battery Fault Insertion Unit
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.
