TechXchange: EV Battery Management

The growing adoption of electric mobility in industries such as automotive and aerospace presents a challenge in the effective testing and validation of their respective battery-management systems (BMS). Using modular PXI-based switch and simulation modules enables effective testing of a BMS and creates a flexible test system that's optimizable and easily modified to address evolving requirements.

This Pickering BMS test solution has an industry-standard open architecture that enables seamless integration of multi-vendor instrumentation and communication modules.
