n-BMSTM
Description
The n-BMS is the next generation scalable BMS for high voltage applications. It is a distributed system in which the Management Control Unit (MCU) communicates with up to 32 Cell Monitoring Units (CMU). Each CMU manages up to 12 voltage channels in series and thus, the n-BMS is rated to manage up to 1000V.
The CMU’s come in 2 different variants from 2 to 12 temperature channels.
The n-BMS can be configured through the licensed n-BMS CREATOR software, which enables the battery integrator to create a unique battery design and tailor it specifically for their needs.
