network.Experimental ResultsThe wired BMS system was tested with a 12-cell pack. MATLAB was used to connect to theParent BMS Module and preform various read and write operations. The BMS was initialized topreform voltage measurements on each individual cell and the voltage of the block. Testing wasperformed on all four packs simultaneously. All voltages were confirmed by multi-meter. Balancingwas tested and confirmed working with the packs. The Wireless BMS uses a parent childarchitecture. First a request for cell information is made from the parent to the child pack. Theparent now waits for a response. The child communicates with the BMS chip and relays the datarequests back to the parent. This keeps wireless activity at a minimum since the children only
