FS-XT
FS-XT is a distributed BMS designed for high-voltage battery systems that utilize multiple battery modules connected in series and parallel.
The system consists of a Master unit and supports up to 40 Slave units, with each Slave monitoring 6 to 18 cells in series.The Slave units communicate with the Master unit via the state-of-the-art isoSPI protocol, eliminating the need for a processor.
The Master unit runs advanced State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) algorithms for precise system monitoring. It supports multiple safety and performance-enhancing features, including insulation monitoring, system interlock, contactor weld detection, and isolated CAN bus communication.
