BattSense Architecture (Reference topology)
- Modular concept supported by a master/slave configuration
- One master to manage 2 slaves for a total of 42 cells
- Masters can be cascaded, serialized or parallelized for complex battery pack design
- The master controls all cells using individual voltage and balancing units (VBUs) which are integrated in the electronic stack
- Power to VBUs is provided from the master, not from the cell
- Configurable remote access with data logging
- Master to master communication using CAN-bus
