SLA Features
The SLA (Sense Line Assembly) is an electronic module intended to monitor battery module cell groups voltages and module temperatures from the High Voltage battery bus in addition to activating cell balancing to improve battery cell life.
All cell voltages and module temperatures are reported directly to the VICM3 on a regular periodic basis via Wireless communication through the BRFM.
The SLA implements a Cell Monitoring Unit board that uses a Pinnacle IC (ADRF8800), this is an IC that provides wireless communication between the Battery Cell Monitoring chip and the Battery Management System Controller
System interaction:
