A battery monitoring system that monitors states of a plurality of batteries. The battery monitoring system includes a battery monitoring ECU and a plurality of battery monitoring devices. The battery monitoring ECU and the plurality of battery monitoring devices are connected to each other in any connection form of ring connection, daisy chain connection, or multi-drop connection.

Battery monitoring system

A battery monitoring system includes a battery monitoring ECU and battery monitoring devices which are sequentially connected in a connection configuration. The battery monitoring ECU includes a clock generator that generates a first clock signal. Each battery monitoring device includes a second clock generator that generates a second clock signal, a controller that causes a frequency correction block to correct a frequency of the second clock signal in line with the first clock signal and causes the battery monitor to monitor a battery cell using the second clock signal that has been corrected, and a switch that, according to an instruction of the battery monitoring ECU, switches a circuit configuration to a state in which a signal received from a preceding device is transmitted to a succeeding device in the connection configuration.

A battery monitor system includes: a reference signal generation unit; an excitation signal generation unit; a current generation unit for an excitation current; a current measurement unit for the excitation current; a voltage measurement unit for a voltage of each battery cell; an impedance measurement unit for an impedance of each battery cell; a noise measurement unit for a noise voltage; and a control unit. The control unit selects one or more battery cells not a measurement target, and the noise measurement unit measures the noise voltage near a measurement frequency equal to a frequency of an orthogonal reference signal while operating the voltage measurement unit without operating the current generation unit.

Battery monitor system

An assembled battery monitoring device in the present disclosure includes: an excitation signal processor generates a excitation signal by processing an in-phase signal of an orthogonal reference signal generated by a signal generator; a current exciter generates an excitation current based on the excitation signal according to voltage signals, and energizes a battery cell; and an impedance measurer measures an AC impedance of the battery cell based on the excitation current measured by the current measurer and a voltage of the battery cell measured by the voltage measurer.
