Cell Interface - Nuvation Energy NUV300-BC-12 Product Manual

3.2. Cell Interface

The Nuvation Energy Cell Interface is the direct link between the individual battery stack cells and the
rest of the battery management system. It facilitates battery monitoring and balancing
functionalities.
In a Low-Voltage BMS, a larger battery stack can be accommodated with the addition of one or more
Cell Interface modules, provided the total stack voltage does not exceed maximum rating of the
default configuration. When coupled with a Low-Voltage BMS, the Cell Interface model must match
the Low-Voltage BMS model—i.e. A Low-Voltage BMS - 12 channel can only be coupled with a Cell
Interface - 12 channel, and a Low-Voltage BMS - 16 channel can only be coupled with a Cell Interface
- 16 channel. The firmware does not support a mixed chain of different Cell Interface variants.
The following are variants of the Nuvation Energy Cell Interface:
▪
The NUV100-CI-12-1, Cell Interface - 12 channel can monitor up to 12 series-connected cells
▪
The NUV100-CI-16-1, Cell Interface - 16 channel can monitor up to 16 series-connected cells
The external interfaces to this module are:
▪
Battery cells connector
▪
Temperature sensors connector
▪
2 Link Bus connectors
▪
2 Indicator LEDs
