Abstract

A battery control device having a battery system having a plurality of cells, a first electronic unit, a second electronic unit having a ground potential operatively connected to a potential of the battery system, a communication link including an electric isolation and a communication line having an electromagnetic shielding at least in sections, the communication link being configured to operatively connect and enable communication between the first electronic unit and the second electronic unit. The electromagnetic shielding is operatively connected to the ground potential of the second electronic unit.

Claims (35)

1. A battery control device comprising:

a battery system having a plurality of cells;

a first electronic unit;

a second electronic unit having a ground potential operatively connected to a potential of the battery system; and

a communication link including an electric isolation and a communication line having an electromagnetic shielding at least in sections, the communication link being configured to operatively connect and enable communication between the first electronic unit and the second electronic unit,

wherein the electromagnetic shielding is operatively connected to the ground potential of the second electronic unit.

2. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic unit comprises a battery management unit.

3. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic unit comprises a cell supervisory controller.

4. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the electric isolation is arranged between the first electronic unit and the communication line.

5. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the electric isolation comprises an optocoupler or inductive or capacitive transmission.

6. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the electric isolation comprises an inductive transmission.

7. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the electric isolation comprises a capacitive transmission.

8. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the ground potential of the second electronic unit is configured to extend over the communication line into a separate area formed on a module.

9. The battery control device of claim 8 , wherein the module comprises the first electronic unit and the separate area accommodates components with the ground potential of the second electronic unit.

10. The battery control device of claim 1 , further comprising filter elements arranged between the communication line and the first electronic unit.

11. The battery control device of claim 1 , further comprising filter elements arranged between the communication line and the second electronic unit.

12. The battery control device of claim 1 , further comprising filter elements arranged between the communication line and the first electronic unit and between the communication line and the second electronic unit.

13. The battery control device of claim 12 , wherein the filter elements comprise series resistors on both sides of the shielding, and discharge capacitors on both sides of the shielding.

14. The battery control device of claim 12 , wherein the filter elements comprise inductors on both sides of the shielding.

15. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein an exchange of information via the communication link is carried out via a Serial Peripheral Interface bus.

16. The battery control device of claim 1 , wherein the communication line has a length greater than 50 cm.

17. A battery control device comprising:

a battery system having a plurality of cells;

a first electronic unit;

a plurality of second electronic units each configured for operative communication with one another and having a ground potential operatively connected to a potential of the battery system; and

electromagnetic shielding at least in sections, a communication link being configured to operatively connect and enable communication between the first electronic unit and some of the second electronic units,

wherein the electromagnetic shielding is operatively connected to the ground potential of the second electronic unit.

18. The battery control device of claim 17 , wherein a respective ground potential of each of the second electronic units is operatively connected to a different potential of the battery system.

19. A battery control device comprising:

a battery system having a plurality of cells;

a first electronic unit;

a plurality of second electronic units each configured for operative communication with one another and having a ground potential operatively connected to a potential of the battery system; and

a communication link including an electric isolation and a communication line having an electromagnetic shielding at least in sections, the communication link being configured to operatively connect and enable direct communication between the first electronic unit and at least two of the second electronic units,

wherein the electromagnetic shielding is operatively connected to the ground potential of the second electronic unit.

20. The battery control device of claim 19 , wherein a respective ground potential of each of the second electronic units is operatively connected to a different potential of the battery system.
