Safe measurement technology for battery test stands
Battery test stands are special facilities used to test and check the performance and service life of batteries. They play a crucial role in various industries such as the automotive industry, renewable energies and electronics. The testing of electrical energy storage devices, batteries and rechargeable batteries, and fuel cells in particular, is a very topical issue. By using battery test stands, engineers can analyze and evaluate the capacity, efficiency and stability of a battery under realistic conditions. This makes it possible to identify potential weak points at an early stage, improve the quality and reliability of battery systems and thus ensure the safety and performance of electrical devices or vehicles. Battery test stands are therefore indispensable tools for the development, production and maintenance of batteries.
In addition to applications in research and basic development, there are a large number of test stands in a wide range of industries. For these testing tasks, the ProfiMessage due to their high galvanic isolation between the channels, these devices are ideally suited to these tasks, as cell short circuits must be avoided under all circumstances. The self-sufficient operation of the devices and the important monitoring functions due to the high energy densities also make the devices ideal for these tasks. ProfiSignal Go for evaluating the measurement tasks and ProfiSignal Klicks for automation represent an ideal combination with the Message devices.
Application highlights of the battery test stands
- Safe measurement technology thanks to galvanic isolation and differential inputs
- Ideal application for ProfiSignal clicks, test sequences are easy to implement
- Self-sufficient and PC-independent measured value acquisition and control
- Several test processes run independently of each other
Practical example of a battery test stand
Safe testing technology for lithium batteries
A manufacturer of industrial lithium batteries uses the ProfiSignal Klicks message devices and software for its testing technology. Up to 90 test specimens can be divided into up to 30 groups and tested simultaneously. Each group can be started independently and with a time delay. The differential inputs of the ProfiMessage devices and the galvanic isolation guarantee safe and non-reactive measurement technology. The ProfiSignal Klicks application was created by the user. The test system records various discharge processes of the lithium batteries. Based on the times and voltage changes determined, the device calculates characteristic values, which are output in reports as tables and graphics.
