1 Positioning and Characteristics

About This Chapter

1.1 Positioning

This product description is oriented to the battery intelligent management system (eBIMS) V100R001.

1.2 Characteristics

The eBIMS supports client-free fast deployment, comprehensively monitors the battery temperature, voltage, and impedance, and achieves simple and fast operation.

1.1 Positioning

This product description is oriented to the battery intelligent management system (eBIMS) V100R001.

Batteries, an indispensable part of sites, are the O&M focus. The correctness of battery performance management, timeliness of battery fault rectification, and fix rate of network problems caused by battery faults have a large impact on network status. Therefore, low-cost automatic detection and analysis for batteries become key requirements of the management service center. The Huawei eBIMS fully meets battery maintenance requirements by remotely monitoring real-time battery status, detecting, predicting, and reporting battery faults, and identifying batteries reaching their replacement thresholds and guiding the battery replacement. Figure 1-1 shows the eBIMS solution.

1.2 Characteristics

The eBIMS supports client-free fast deployment, comprehensively monitors the battery temperature, voltage, and impedance, and achieves simple and fast operation.

Simple Structure, Achieving Fast Deployment



The eBIMS uses the modular design. Wireless connection is used between the eBat and eBox, reducing cables and simplifying installation.



The eBat connects to a battery using OT terminals. The eBox deployment is flexible and convenient because the eBox can be installed on a wall or by using hook-and-loop fasteners.



The eBIMS supports client-free installation and has a built-in database.

Simple Operation, Improving User Experience



The eBIMS uses the lightweight browser/server (B/S) architecture, uses the Web 2.0 technology, and allows users to perform access and operation using the Internet Explorer.



The intelligent report analysis function displays the battery temperature, impedance, and voltage performance parameters using diversified graphs.



The configuration management function allows batch processing, achieving fast setting of battery parameters.



Users can customize the home page to know the information to be concerned.

Real-Time Fault Monitoring, Reducing Battery Maintenance Costs Effectively



The eBIMS real-timely monitors and reports the temperature, voltage, and impedance alarms of all batteries, preventing network accidents caused by battery faults.



The eBIMS monitors faults 24/7 and provides fault reminders in a timely manner, saving the routine onsite maintenance costs of batteries.
