The Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS) is a groundbreaking solution designed to optimize the performance, safety, and longevity of high-performance batteries. Key to this system is the installation of the Dukosi DK8102 Cell Monitor on each battery cell, which measures and captures critical data such as voltage and temperature. Utilizing the proprietary C-SynQ® communication protocol, the system facilitates reliable, near-field RF data transmission to the DK8202 System Hub, which typically integrates with the BMS host processor.
The DKCMS offers numerous innovations, including robust contactless connectivity that obviates the need for complex wiring harnesses and ensures high reliability, even in dynamic power environments. This system's architecture is particularly suited for large-scale battery systems, providing deterministic communication and real-time cell-level monitoring to enable optimal decision-making by the BMS.
The scalability of the DKCMS is another highlight, with its ability to manage up to 216 cells per System Hub. This allows for versatile battery design modifications without necessitating large-scale re-engineering, thereby simplifying new product development and aiding manufacturers in catering to different market needs efficiently. The contactless design enhances safety, reduces development time, and lowers production costs, making it a preferred choice for electric vehicles and utility-scale energy storage systems.
