The Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS) is at the forefront of revolutionizing the monitoring of battery systems at the cell level. This system is meticulously designed for high-performance batteries, integrating a DK8102 Cell Monitor on each cell which meticulously gathers precise voltage and temperature data. These monitors employ Dukosi's proprietary C-SynQ® protocol for seamless communication, transmitting data to a System Hub through a single bus antenna via near-field RF technology. Placed typically on the same PCB as the BMS host processor, the System Hub interfaces via the DKCMS library ensuring robust and power-efficient operations.
The distinctive value of DKCMS lies in its scalable architecture. Capable of integrating with up to 216 cells, it supports the formation of expansive battery packs and allows for flexibility at the cell level without necessitating a comprehensive redesign. This intrinsic flexibility makes it a versatile system that can cater from the nuances of electric vehicle applications to utility-scale energy storage systems, providing improved uptime and a streamlined assembly process.
By ensuring reliable and deterministic communication within safety-critical environments, DKCMS maintains advanced levels of efficiency and safety performance. Additionally, the system's ability to manage the complexity of communication between numerous nodes securely amplifies its utility, making it a cornerstone of future-proof and sustainable battery technologies.
