Abstract
Disclosed is a battery management system for transmitting a secondary protection signal and a diagnosis signal using a small number of insulation elements. N battery management units included in the battery management system transmit at least two pieces of data via one communication line through time division. N data signals transmitted from the N battery management units are transmitted in a sequential order or are mixed to one signal and transmitted to an external device.
Claims12
A battery management system for managing a battery pack, comprising:
- N battery management units configured to manage secondary batteries included in the battery pack, in which N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2;
- a communication line electrically connected to each battery management unit to transmit data to an external device which controls the battery management system;
- an insulation element configured to transmit a signal while electrically separating the external device from the battery management system;
- and
- a signal mixer electrically connected to the communication line to mix signals received through the communication line,
- wherein each battery management unit transmits at least two pieces of data through time division.
