DEICO DE3000 Battery Simulation Unit is a high-performance, 12 channel system engineered for precise, efficient, and safe emulation of a wide spectrum of battery pack behaviors and cell-level conditions. Each of the 12 channels operates independently, enabling accurate simulation of individual cells. Integrated analog/digital I/O and auxiliary channels, combined with onboard computing capabilities, allow the simulation of complex battery characteristics and custom profiles under diverse operational scenarios. Multiple units can be connected in series to emulate high-cell-count battery packs.

The general features of DE3000 are listed below:

• 1U rack-mountable form factor, designed to meet stringent testing requirements for battery-sensitive systems
• 12 independent simulation channels, each configurable for individual cell emulation
• Source/sink capability up to 5 V and 500 mA per channel, supporting precise current control
• High isolation voltage of 1600 V DC, ensuring safe operation and system protection
• Dedicated analog and digital I/O channels for seamless integration with auxiliary systems
• Multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet, USB, EtherCAT, and high-speed CAN for flexible and remote operation (Note: USB and EtherCAT interfaces are not currently available for customer use and may be supported in a future release.)
• Intuitive control software, the DEICO Battery Simulator Control Panel, enabling user-friendly configuration and monitoring
• Comprehensive API support for seamless integration into existing automated test environments and software platforms

Areas of application include:

• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing of battery management systems (BMS) and electronic control units (ECUs)
• BMS algorithm development, validation, and production-level testing
• Evaluation and verification of battery-dependent electronic components under controlled and repeatable test conditions
