Battery Monitoring System

Specifications
Power Agent Battery Monitoring System is the most flexible,
scalable, easily installed and lowest priced system on the
market today.

Rather than requiring a customized controller and endless
sensor wires running the length of a battery string, a PA
BMS sensor sits on top of each battery to provide exact
information on a battery basis.  These sensors are then
daisy-chained together by Ethernet cable to deliver
individual battery-specific information to the controller,
which in turn shares it with the desired monitoring program.
Digital Signal Processing
Each BMS monitoring sensor has a microprocessor, which
implements a couple of very important, patent-pending DSP
functions creating digital sinewave synthesis.

Digital sinewave synthesis is a low frequency sinusoidal
test signal generated within the battery by stimulating it with
a digitally derived pulse-width modulated current source.

The battery's internal resistance cause this low frequency
sinusoidal test current to develop a sinusoidal voltage,
which is measured by the sensor's correlating synchronous
detection process.
Manual vs. Sensor-based Testing
Manual battery test methods are often performed a few
times per year, if at all.  Measurement data is very variable
from one site to the next and can be affected by the
instrument used, the exact points at which the probes were
placed on the battery post and the skill-level of the
technician.

Sensor-based testing provides accurate, consistent and
trendable data, which can be analyzed by simple software
tools, in order to spot degradation before they become
problems, saving time and money.
