connections to cell fixture
Front view showing filtered air inlet
and guarded AC power switch
Electronics Hardware (2)
32 cell controller board. From left to right,
cell interface connectors, output current fuses,
isolation relays, heat sink,charge/discharge
relays, electronic components, dc power input.
Internal view, with 8 x 32 cell controller boards
in top section, power supplies in bottom section
and air filter on hinged door. All service access
is through front door only.
Electronics Hardware (3)
Interface cable for 4 cells, with 37 pin
DIN style connector. Maximum cable
length 3 m.
Interface cables to cell fixture exit the
rear of the electronics cabinets
System Functions (1)






Charge and discharge at up to 2.5 amps.
Charge CC to voltage limit, then CV to current limit.
Charge can end on time, voltage current, amp-hours,
and others including faults and safety conditions.
Discharge at CC.
Discharge can end on time, voltage, amp-hours, and
others including faults and safety conditions.
Each cell progresses individually through the
formation, thus at any one time some cells can be in
charge and some in discharge.
System Functions (2)







Data can be recorded at intervals of 1 minute or
multiple thereof.
Data recorded includes voltage time, current, amphours, watt-hours, cycle no., and step no.
Each cell has its own data file.
Each cell tray has a summary data file.
Up to 128 steps in each formation procedure.
> 1000 cycle capability.
Each group of 128 cells can be running a different
formation procedure.

Software



Maccor formation software is 32 bit, and normally
runs under Windows 98.
The control program is virtually identical to our
laboratory test system software, and has a high level
of maturity.
Around this is a shell program that functions as an
interface to the formation system hardware.
