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
SLA operates in the frequency range 2.405 GHz – 2.480 GHz (ISM band) by using Wireless battery management technology.
The network periodicity is 100ms; meaning, each particular CMU will send once or twice every 100ms, and the transmission time is 1.85ms*2* R (R=2 for SLA).
There is no simultaneous transmission on the system; there can be CMUs that communicate at the same time but on different channels.

| Communication Bus | |
| Note: This section assumes that production software is not mandatory; the use of specialized software is acceptable. Note: Software diagnostic timers should be reset to minimum detection values, to facilitate assertion of potential diagnostic flags during the RF exposure time (maximum 2 seconds). Note: States/faults/issues shall be reported directly over the communication bus (Le., Class Z Controller Area Network (CAN), etc.) or indirectly if the communication bus is not available via the cycling of output(s) (e.g., PWM duty cycle change, telltale flash rate change, etc.) Note: Unless otherwise specified in the EMC Test Plan, in order to ensure a refreshed value, all information related to data monitoring (such as analog input voltages, operating states, etc.) shall be via parameter requests (e.g., Parameter ID (PID)) and not via scheduled, or periodic, broadcast messages. This ensures bi-directional communications during immunity testing. | |
The following information shall also be included in the case of radio equipment intentionally emitting radio waves:
a. Frequency band: 2.4 – 2.5 GHz
b. Maximum radio-frequency power is transmitted in the frequency band(s) in which the radio equipment operates. Max output power = 10 dBm
(the U.S.A. and Canada)
