Cell-Monitoring System Enhances Battery Performance and Safety
The Dukosi Cell Monitoring System makes precise, synchronous, on-cell measurements of voltage and temperature. Each Cell Monitor uses the company's C-SynQ communication protocol to send data to a Dukosi DK8202 System Hub via near-field RF using a single bus antenna. The System Hub usually sits on the same PCB as the BMS host processor, communicating through the system library.
Up to 2X more reliable while using up to 10X fewer components than a legacy wired BMS design, the solution eliminates the complex wiring harness and the vibration-sensitive connections involved. Its inherent electrical isolation and security offers a high level of performance and star-network behavior.
Compared to far-field wireless designs, it offers more robust communication, predictable latency, network security, and a simpler battery-pack design and development process.
The system can address up to 216 cells and offers scalability at the cell level, enabling designers to add or remove single cells to adapt more easily to changing market conditions. Scalable without requiring redesign and recertification while still ensuring network security, this flexible approach allows for it to easily scale from electric vehicles, accommodating global market differences, to utility-scale, stationary battery energy-storage systems.
