Pickering Interfaces will showcase its range of industry-standard modular signal switching and sensor simulation solutions for electronics test and verification – including BMS (battery management system) test – on stand 40 at Battery Tech Expo 2024 at Eriksbergshallen exhibition hall, Gothenburg, Sweden on 10th October 2024.

The battery industry is going through a power revolution, with tech companies investing heavily in the next generation of battery development and energy storage. Battery Tech Expo is the number one event across the Nordic battery industry value chain, bringing together professionals from across the advanced battery technology and energy storage sectors. The event will showcase the latest products, technologies and services spanning battery management systems, energy storage, EV & mobile device batteries, manufacturing and advanced materials, through to R&D, design, safety and second life.

Highlighting the benefits of using modular PXI-based switch and simulation products in BMS test systems, Paul Bovingdon, Simulation Product Manager at Pickering explains: “With the 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 HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) test, 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 HIL test demo on show includes the following Pickering products:

8-slot PXI chassis with a PXI embedded controller
PXI battery simulator module – to simulate batteries in a stacked architecture
PXI programmable resistor module – to test BMS isolation resistance check
PXI dual programmable power supply – to simulate a battery charger
PXI 2A 52xSPDT and 26xSPDT relay modules
PXI 32-channel digital I/O module
PXI USB hub
