Abstract
A battery management system is provided. The system includes a battery monitoring device having a microprocessor and a hardware component. The microprocessor identifies a non-modifiable node ID from the hardware component. The microprocessor also obtains operational parameters associated with the at least one battery cell. The microprocessor computes a network ID for the battery monitoring device based on the non-modifiable node ID. The system further includes a main controller that communicates with the battery monitoring device via a communication bus utilizing the network ID.
Claims4
A method for transferring data within a battery management system, the battery management system having a battery monitoring device, a communication bus, and a main controller, the method comprising:
- identifying a non-modifiable node ID associated with the battery monitoring device from a hardware component of the battery monitoring device, utilizing a microprocessor of the battery monitoring device;
- computing a network ID for the battery monitoring device based on the non-modifiable node ID, utilizing the microprocessor;
- measuring operational parameters associated with at least one battery cell, utilizing the battery monitoring device;
- and
- transmitting data corresponding to the measured operational parameters from the microprocessor through the communication bus to the main controller, utilizing the network ID.
A battery management system, comprising:
- a battery monitoring device having a microprocessor and a hardware component, the microprocessor configured to identify a non-modifiable node ID from the hardware component, the microprocessor further configured to obtain operational parameters associated with the at least one battery cell, the microprocessor further configured to compute a network ID for the battery monitoring device based on the non-modifiable node ID;
- and
