CSM and Müller-BBM VibroAkustik Systeme combine their high-voltage testing competencies for electric vehicles
The increasing complexity of EV powertrains is demanding new approaches in testing and validation, now CSM and Müller-BBM VibroAkustik Systeme announced they are synergizing efforts to test EV components.
It is critical to place distributed, high-voltage safe and compact measurement technology onboard, or installed in the test bench, with powerful data acquisition and analysis software directly at the sources.
Here’s their solution:High-voltage power cables and components are outfitted with CSM’s measurement modules and sensors, configured with their own software console, which streams/stores the data with Müller-BBM VibroAkustik’s data technology (PAK live/PAK.hub). This hub provides this data synchronously via PTP along with other parameters such as ECU data, test bench data, bus data, NVH software PAK and other applications for real-time acquisition and analysis.
“We are keeping a close eye on the current changes and are working on future-oriented system solutions,” says Andreas Ansorge, Managing Director of Müller-BBM VibroAkustik Systeme. “For us, this includes high-precision data acquisition at high operating voltages. With the innovative high-voltage measurement technology from CSM, it is possible to record and evaluate the real currents and voltages together with other dynamic data in real-time.”
Compared to the CAN-based data acquisition frequently used, they claim the degree of information density is significantly higher. The intelligent networking of the data streams aims to streamline testing and engineering tasks quickly and efficiently. Different tasks from different users can now be mapped with just one setup. Interdisciplinary investigations and context-related statements on cause and effect are the result.
“The goal of our partnership is to increase the added value around measurement data and to accelerate testing sustainably since the complex tasks can be mapped in the best possible way in the interaction of the systems,” elaborates Winfried Koch, CEO of CSM.
“We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a solution that is open to the future and will support them sustainably in their measurement tasks,” adds Andreas Ansorge.
They mentioned future plans to bolster analysis methodologies around the topic of fatigue strength as well.
