Creating a complete battery test environment ecosystem

In order to validate and test a BMS, automotive manufacturers use a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) system, which creates a safe environment to test all functionality before connecting to real, potentially dangerous battery cells.

TI has worked with Comemso, whose battery cell simulator offers a mix of modules for BMS testing with scalable variants and different functions. The flexibility of this simulator has enabled TI to implement systems in different sizes to help meet design engineers’ needs.
