Trends & Topics

MicroNova expands its NovaCarts CMC simulator for the latest high-precision battery cell monitors and balancer components from Texas Instruments (TI). This helps accelerate the development of BMS prototypes.

Cyber security is currently one of the most important topics in technology development and therefore also concerns the company's customers. What does MicroNova offer to meet these challenges?

With the help of this EXAM extension, the safety-relevant documentation for ISO 26262 can be created for the test automation solution. This qualifies this part of the assurance chain for the ECU development process of automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

When testing ECUs, expanding test systems in the direction of virtualization is the most future-proof approach. This is why MicroNova offers virtual test procedures with Virtual ECU and NovaCarts Virtual. The approach enables test cases to be executed on a virtual test bench, with only minimal adjustments compared to conventional hardware test benches. HiL systems can thus be supplemented and test capacities significantly expanded.

MicroNova's new configurable simulation model accurately replicates the electrical and thermal behavior of battery cells in BMSs - without requiring them to be directly connected to a battery. The versatility and real-time capability of the MicroNova Battery Model make it ideal for use in hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) systems to validate battery control units.
