CN-0352 Software User Guide

Overview

CN-0352 is a cost effective, multi-channel battery testing reference system designed for signle-cell Li-ion battery with open circuit voltage(OCV) between 3.5V to 4.4V.

It can handle charging-discharging cycle with CC(Constant Current), CV(Constant Voltage) charging mode with configurable termination control. During testing, the battery information including voltage, current and temperature are gathered, then sent and storted on PC through RS485 communication bus.

Each CN-0352 battery testing module could handle 8-channel Li-ion battery cell. With RS485 commumication bus, the testing channels could be extended upto more than hundred channels. The limitation is the communication bandwidth of RS485.

WARNING!

Evaluation System Setup

EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z Module Setup

The EVAl-CN0352-EB1Z, battery test system in Figure below is composed of multiple I/O boards (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_IO) for handling the charging and discharging process, an MCU board (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_MCU) for battery data acquisition, testing, monitoring,and temperature management, and a backplane base board (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_BAS) that provides the signal interconnections between the MCU board and the multiple I/O boards.

The picture below shows all 3 type of boards and give each connector a serial number for better understanding. See the tables below with detais of the connectors and jumpers on each board.

See the red dots on the picture. Each dot indicate the 1st pin location on the connector. the Pin1-to-Pin1 hookup must always be done during EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z module setup process.

Boards Hooking Up

The picture below shows the way to hook up the BAS, I\Os and MCU boards together. It is necessary to have at least one I/O board to make system working correctly.

EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z Demo System Setup

  1. Connect 5V DC Power Supply to PWR connector on BAS Board;
  2. Connect USB to RS485 adapter to COM connector on BAS Board;[1]
  3. Connect the FAN to FAN1, FAN2 and FPWR connectors on BAS Board;[2]
  4. Connect the Battery to CN1 connector on I\O board;[3-6]
  5. Connect the Thermistor 10k sensor to CN2 on I\O board.[7]

See the picture below showing the whole CN0352 demo system.

  • [1] Verify the pin definition of USB to RS485 Apapter used for communication and do a connect connection.
  • [2] Verify the pin definition of the FAN used for cooling and do a connect connection. Need to find a way to fix the FAN close to the Headsink on I\O board for better cooling performance. The way shown in this user guide is just for demostration and customer need to guarantee the final cooling performance in your own system.
  • [3] It is very dangerous to if connecting the battery with I/O board reversely.
  • [4] Using a battery with protection circuit integrated is highly recommended for demonstration.
  • [5] 4-wire Kelvin connection is recommended.
  • [6] There is no battery holding board in CN0352 package. Customer need to prepare the battery holding board for a good connection
  • [7] The default RT table if for ERTJZEG103JA, the Thermistor 10k NTC from Panisonic. If using different sensor, the RT table need to be modified to fit the new sensor.
