dSPACE's SCALEXIO Battery HIL – Essential provides a compact, cost-efficient solution for smaller battery management systems. The system supports up to 64 cell voltage channels and up to 200 V system voltage, enabling realistic simulations. It removes entry barriers for smaller teams by validating core BMS functions like state estimation and fault reactions. As projects evolve, dSPACE offers predefined and customized configurations for larger BMS programs. Cell Controller Virtualization enables early BMS controller testing without full high-voltage cell emulation.

Why it matters for your car

This scalable approach ensures smaller teams can validate BMS systems effectively and efficiently.

For plug-in hybrids, AutoScan for Windows can read standard engine and emissions fault codes through a compatible ELM327 adapter; charging-system and high-voltage faults require vehicle-specific equipment.
