Product catalog summary
Overview: The PFX2500 Series is a high-performance charge/discharge system controller designed for evaluating electric storage elements like secondary batteries. It integrates with DC power supplies and electronic loads for comprehensive testing, including long-term and synchronized tests with temperature chambers.
Specifications: The system supports a maximum voltage of 60 V and a current of 50 A, with high-speed sampling up to 1 ms and high-precision measurement capabilities. It includes a 6 V range for single-cell evaluation and safety features like overcharge protection and a vibration sensor.
Functional Capabilities: The PFX2500 Series offers seamless charging/discharging with high-speed transfer control, pattern charging/discharging with up to 1000 steps, and temperature monitoring. It supports multiple charge/discharge modes: constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), and constant power (CP).
Software and Communication: The system uses BPChecker3000 software for test management and analysis. It supports LAN communication for the PFX2512 model and USB for the PFX2511 model, with additional interfaces available.
System Configuration: The PFX2500 Series can be configured with various components, allowing flexible setups tailored to specific testing needs, reducing costs by selecting appropriate equipment.
Applications: Suitable for testing power tools, robots, electric motorcycles, and vehicles, supporting tests like I-V characteristics, cycle characteristics, charge/discharge rate, and temperature characteristics.
Safety and Protection: Includes hardware and software protection against overcharge and overdischarge, with a built-in route switch for high-speed interruption in case of abnormalities and a vibration sensor to prevent damage during tests.
Software Overview: The document details BPChecker3000 and BPChecker2000 software for battery testing in the PFX2500 series, including capabilities, system requirements, and integration with temperature chambers and BMS.
Software Specifications: Operates on Windows XP (SP3 or later), Vista, 7, and 8, requiring 2 GB RAM and 100 MB of free disk space. Supports a display resolution of 1280 × 1024 and requires a CD-ROM drive for installation.
Program Structure: Consists of four main programs: Test Condition Editor, Test Executive, Graph Viewer, and BPChecker2000 Basic, managing test conditions for battery cycles.
Integration and Compatibility: Synchronizes with temperature chambers via GPIB communication and supports CAN Bus operations for future BMS developments. Integrates with Vehicle Spy3 for BMS communication during tests.
Expanded Features: Includes optional voltage/thermometer units for monitoring cell voltage and temperature, supporting large capacity controllers up to 200 A.
Limitations: BPChecker2000 Basic is limited to 2 channels, while the full edition has no functional limits. A PC can control up to 5 channels.
Recommendations: Ensure the system meets the recommended operating environment and consider route loss when selecting power supplies and electronic loads for operations.
