Enhanced Reliability Wireless BMS - Eliminating Most Wiring and Connectors
This significant breakthrough in BMS addresses the persistent reliability issues associated with automotive wiring harnesses and connectors in electric and hybrid/electric vehicles and simplifies the BMS design and manufacture. The Smartmesh wireless network enables flexible placement of battery modules and improves battery state of charge and state of health calculations. Additional data can be gathered from sensors installed in locations previously unsuitable for a wiring harness and Smartmesh provides time-correlate measurements from each node which allows for more precise data collection.
Linear Technology’s Wireless BMS Concept Car, built in collaboration with LION Smart, combines LTC’s advanced high voltage battery monitoring ICs with its SmartMesh? high reliability wireless mesh systems. Using multiple redundant communication paths, SmartMesh ensures that the battery monitor data is reliably transmitted to the BMS microprocessor. If you'd like to see it for yourself, LTC will be exhibiting this concept car at our booth at CES 2017 in Las Vegas on January 5-8.
