  • Patent number: 11474491
    Abstract: Disclosed are a communication method between a master controller and slave controllers, a slave controller for the communication method, and a battery management system using the communication method and the slave controller, in which the master controller receives safety information about battery cells through a plurality of channels even when each of a plurality of slave controllers includes only one micro controller unit, thereby minimizing the increase in the cost and enhancing the safety of the battery management system. The communication method includes performing bidirectional communication between a master controller and first to Nth (where N is an integer equal to or more than two) slave controllers through a first communication channel, and receiving, by the master controller, an indication signal through a second communication signal via the first to Nth slave controllers.

  • Publication number: 20210066763
    Abstract: A wireless battery management system, a manager node for the same, and a channel operating method, which operate a channel so as to stably support wireless communication in the wireless battery management system, are provided. The wireless battery management system includes a manager node and a monitor node. The manager node establishes a first network being a short-range wireless network by using at least one of a first channel and a second channel, and when a second network using the same communication channel and modulation method as a communication channel and a modulation method of the first network is detected, changing the first channel to a third channel and changing the second channel to a fourth channel.
