DKCMS™ Demonstration for Automotive (xEV) Applications

Modelled after a vehicle chassis, this live demonstration showcases the Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS™) with 16 Cell Monitors (CMs) connected via a single bus antenna to the System Hub (SH), representing a typical cell module size used in electric vehicles. In this example, the CMs are not attached to live cells but still transmit data via near field, contactless communication using Dukosi C-SynQ^® proprietary protocol and a single bus antenna connected to the SH, which is then linked to a laptop via USB.

The laptop runs the Dukosi Evaluation Kit (EVK) advanced GUI, enabling customers to easily evaluate our solution in their own proof-of-concept (PoC) designs. The simplicity of DKCMS is reflected in the fact that the Dukosi EVK can be set up and the GUI running in under five minutes.

Each CM has an assigned button that can disconnect it when pressed. This demonstrates, via the GUI, that DKCMS with C-SynQ can immediately and precisely identify if a problem occurs.

Additionally, the on-die temperature sensor on the CM can be tested by increasing or decreasing the temperature of any number of CMs. The change is immediately reflected in the GUI, demonstrating how accurately and quickly the DKCMS can detect temperature variations of each cell in a battery.
