Dow Kokam Battery Management

System Controller

The Battery Management System (BMS) Controller is a part of the Dow Kokam
Battery System. Its primary purpose is to manage the overall battery system,
determine the state of charge (SOC) and the state of health (SOH), control the
thermal management system and ensure communication with the vehicle system.
The BMS Controller communicates to the BMS through a local high speed Controller
Area Network (CAN) bus. It also communicates with the vehicle system through a
dedicated high speed CAN bus, which contributes to the functional safety of the
overall battery system.

The BMS Controller can also operate as a Digital Vehicle Management System
(DVMS) Controller, supporting complementary functions to manage electric and
hybrid powertrain components.

The BMS Controller software is based on AUTOSAR 2.1 architecture and includes a
collection of modular AUTOSAR software components in order to speed up the
product development process. Additionally, the Dow Kokam BMS Controller allows
very accurate state of charge and state of health measurements based on battery
modeling coupled with a signal processing algorithm. The combination

of these two approaches guarantees the stability of the software, as well as its
accuracy.

The BMS Controller supports diagnostic services in accordance with the automotive
UDS standard. It can be queried to read diagnostic trouble codes, reprogrammed
and calibrated with the use of appropriate diagnostic services.

All Dow Kokam software is compliant with automotive requirements and is fully
tested according to a robust verification process.

Primary BMS Controller Functions:

• SOC: accuracy ±2%

• SOH: accuracy ±2% (loss of capacity)

• Internal resistance measurement: accuracy ±50μΩ

• Maximum allowable current (in charge and discharge modes)
