Description

This chapter describes the product, the devices that can be connected to the product, and the procedure from charge / discharge test preparation to test execution.

Product Overview

The PFX2532 is a dedicated charge / discharge system controller used to measure the charge / discharge voltage and current of batteries and the like with high accuracy in combination with Kikusui’s DC power supplies and electronic loads to evaluate the characteristics of DUTs (power storage devices such as rechargeable batteries). Depending on the DC power supply and electronic load combination, large capacity, and wide rating range evaluation tests can be performed.

For the system requirements, see the BPChecker3000 application software’s setup guide.

Features

Charge / discharge control system

● Support for large capacity battery modules

Advanced batteries with increasing capacity are supported. A test system can be set up quickly by combining Kikusui’s DC power supplies PAT-T and electronic loads PLZ-4W.

● Wide range of ratings

Wide range of ratings can be supported by selecting the appropriate combination of Kikusui’s DC power supplies and electronic loads. Implementation cost can be suppressed by selecting the appropriate devices for your charge / discharge test conditions.

● Digital constant current (CC) / constant voltage (CV) control method

The adoption of the digital CC / CV control method minimizes the disparities in the constant current (CC) / constant voltage (CV) setting accuracy and drift characteristics due to the differences in the system component devices (DC power supplies and electronic loads). This ensures highly accurate tests. There is absolutely no need to make adjustments after system configuration.

● Highly accurate measurement

Highly accurate measurement circuits are built in. Battery voltage and charge / discharge current are detected with high accuracy. (Voltage measurement: 100 µV resolution, current measurement: 100 µA resolution, elapsed time measurement: monthly error of 30 s or less (10 ppm or less)) True electric energy and integrated capacity can be measured even for pulse currents that are difficult to be captured.

● Protection functions

The PFX2532 has a built-in path switch (load switch). The path switch is equipped with a highspeed shutoff function that quickly detaches DC power supplies and electronic loads when an error is detected.

It also detects electric potential difference that exceeds specified values in DUT cables and voltage sensing wires, wiring errors, poor DUT (battery) connection, and so on to prevent damage to the connected devices and DUTs (batteries).

14 PFX2532

Product Overview

● Vibration sensor

In a disaster or the like, the PFX2532 detects large shaking and shock during charge / discharge test and turns off the output. This prevents damage to the connected devices and DUTs (batteries).

● 10 000-step pattern charge / discharge feature

You can set up to 10 000-step CC or CP (with V or I limits) steps. High-speed charge / discharge switching control enables you to perform complicated charge / discharge tests with step times as short as 100 ms. The PFX2532 can be used to create a wide variety of test and simulation patterns for standard tests.

● High-speed charge / discharge switching

Traditionally, it has taken time to switch between controlling DC power supplies and controlling electronic loads. This product can be used to control DC power supplies and electronic loads at the same time, which enables seamless charge / discharge switching.

● High-speed sampling as fast as 1 sample / ms

Voltage and current can be measured at an interval as short as 1 ms with the specified voltage or current step as the trigger. You can acquire highly accurate voltage waveforms that are synchronized with the step current. This is an optimal feature for analyzing test impedance and evaluating service life of DUTs.

Description

● Expandable cell monitor measurement feature

By installing a Volt/Thermometer Unit OP02-PFX (sold separately), you can expand the number of measurement points by 4 voltage and 4 temperature measurement points. You can expand the number of measurement points by a maximum of 12 voltage and 12 temperature measurement points.

If you further need to expand the number of voltage measurement points, you can increase the number to 72 by installing OP03-PFX Voltmeter Units (sold separately) in a 8 Slot Unit SL01-PFX and installing a Volt/Thermometer Unit OP02-PFX (sold separately) in the PFX2532 main unit.

● Cell CV function

A cell CV function is available in addition to the cell unbalance detection function. During charging, the PFX2532 instantly detects the highest cell voltage and controls the charging operation so that the specified cell CV value is reached. During discharging, the PFX2532 does the same for the lowest cell voltage. Safe charge/discharge is possible even on battery modules with unbalanced cells.

● Support for EV standards

The system supports tests for EV-related standards such as the IEC standards. It is easy to use and works well with Microsoft Office software. It also has features for displaying and exporting high-speed sample data.

Using a notebook PC for executing tests is advantageous in that you do not need to use a UPS.

After configuration is complete, do not connect the system to the Internet or corporate LAN during charge/discharge tests.

Avoid using wireless LAN for connections.

Install a UPS. Be sure to connect the shutdown signal. Connecting the shutdown signal allows BPChecker3000 to automatically shut down the charge/discharge system in a safe and orderly manner even when a power outage occurs or when the system suddenly stops for some other reason.

It is safer to use separate AC power supplies for the PC and the charge/discharge system.

If you need to run tests for a long time, using separate PCs for testing and data analysis will reduce the load placed on the PCs and allow the tests to run smoothly.

Ideal system shutdown when a power outage or sudden interruption occurs (executed automatically)

1 What is loss in cables?

Voltage drops occur as a result of charge currents flowing through DUT cables, connection cables, PFX2532 current path circuits, and so on. Loss in cables is the power loss during charging due to this voltage drop. The maximum power that can be used for charging is the resultant value after subtracting the loss in cables.

Make the cables as short as possible by considering the loss in the cables according to your system configuration.

If you configure the system in a rack mount, you can use the optional TL10-PFX cable set. Use it as a guide in selecting the cables.

Select the appropriate cable.

Attach an M8 solderless terminal to the PFX2532 end of the cable.

If the DUT will be subject to high temperature, such as by placing it in a temperature chamber, pay attention to the allowable temperature of the DUT cable. If the heat resistance of the DUT cable and the like is insufficient, the DUT will be in a dangerous situation due to poor insulation, increased contact resistance, and so on.

• The cable can be extended up to 3 m. If the cable is longer than 3 m, constant current control may become unstable, or accurate capacity measurement may be compromised.

• To prevent incorrect wiring, use different color solderless terminals or cables to make the polarities easily distinguishable.

■ Connecting the chassis terminal

The chassis terminal is a grounding terminal designed for many purposes. It can be effective in reducing noise and preventing malfunction during large current operation. In the event a cable or the like makes contact with the chassis, the terminal prevent electric shock accidents. To perform charge/discharge tests safely, we recommend that you ground the chassis terminal.

For the chassis terminal grounding cable, use a cable that can handle at least the maximum current that will flow during charge/discharge tests.

■ Using the terminal covers

Use the included terminal covers by passing the connection cables through them. Cut the sleeves at an appropriate position according to the thickness of the cables.
