ADBMS6830

The ADBMS6830 is a virtualized integrated circuit designed to mimic the behavior of a real cell monitoring device. Within the VeriStand project, it is represented as a Device item in the configuration tree and is emulated on the FPGA of the Real-Time target upon project deployment. Each ADBMS6830 device in the Ring supports the monitoring of up to 16 battery cells, along with 10 GPIO channels. Passive balancing functionality is also included.

Section Channels

Expand the Device section in the configuration tree to display the following VeriStand channels. Channel values can be dynamically modified during execution.

Some channel values are represented in hexadecimal or binary notation. For detailed instructions, please refer to How to Manage Hexadecimal and Binary Data in VeriStand.

Channel Name	Type	Format	Units	Default	Description

Channel Name	Type	Format	Units	Default	Description
Enable	Input	Binary		1	Enables or disables the emulated device during execution. 0 - Device is disabled and bypassed for SPI transmission. 1 - Device is enabled. Normal operation.
CRC Check	Input	Binary		1	Enables or disables the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the command packet error code (PEC) and data packet error code (DPEC) of the SPI transmissions received by the emulated device. 0 - No CRC check is performed. 1 - CRC checking is enabled. Normal operation.
Port A Enable	Input	Binary		1	Enables or disables SPI transmission on the Port A side of the emulated device. Use this channel to simulate a fault in the SPI communication. 0 - SPI transmission is disabled on the Port A side of the device. 1 - SPI transmission is enabled. Normal operation.
Port B Enable	Input	Binary		1	Enables or disables SPI transmission on the Port B side of the emulated device. Use this channel to simulate a fault in the SPI communication. 0 - SPI transmission is disabled on the Port B side of the device. 1 - SPI transmission is enabled. Normal operation.
Redundancy Fault	Input	Binary		0	Forces a digital redundancy fault on the emulated device and stores a digital redundancy fault code in place of the ADC result. 0 - Digital redundancy check passes. 1 - Digital redundancy check fails.
Selftest Fault	Input	Binary		0	Obsolete. This channel does not impact the results of the emulation.
CRC Error	Input	Binary		0	Forces a CRC error on the SPI transmissions originating from the emulated device. 0 - Generated device response contains the correct CRC value. 1 - Generated device response contains an incorrect CRC value.
Vref1	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the V_REF1 pin of a real device.
Vref2	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the V_REF2 pin of a real device.
VA	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the Analog Power Supply Voltage measurement on the device. The measured value is stored in the VA memory location within Status Register Group B.
VD	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the Digital Power Supply Voltage measurement on the device. The measured value is stored in the VD memory location within Status Register Group B.
Internal Die Temperature	Input	Decimal	°C	0	Emulates the Internal Die Temperature Measurement on the device, in degrees Celsius. The Internal Die Temperature is subsequently used to calculate the ITMP value stored in Status Register Group A.
Vres	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the Resistor Voltage measurement on the device. The measured value is stored in the VRES memory location within Status Register Group B.
VMV	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the V- to V- voltage measurement on the device. The measured value is stored in the VPV memory location within Auxiliary Register Group D.
VPV	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the V+ to V- voltage measurement on the device. The measured value is stored in the VPV memory location within Auxiliary Register Group D.
Cell Measurement x	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the cell voltage measurement of Cell x. This measurement is taken between pin Cx and pin C(x-1) on a real device.
Redundant Cell Measurement x	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates the redundant voltage measurement of Cell x. This measurement is taken between pin Sx and pin S(x-1) on a real device.
GPIO x	Input	Decimal	V	0	Emulates pins GPIO1 through GPIO10 of a real device.
Serial ID	Input	Hexadecimal		0	Sets the Serial ID (SID) of the emulated device. To set the Default Value of this channel in the system definition, convert it to decimal notation. See How to Manage Hexadecimal and Binary Data in VeriStand Channels for more information.
Open Wire Cx	Input	Binary		0	Emulates an open wire between the external cells. This open wire condition can be detected using the ADOW command. 0 - Uninterrupted connection at pin Cx. 1 - Open wire at pin Cx.
Last Command Received	Output	Hexadecimal		0	Outputs the last command received from the SPI Master.
Command CRC Check	Output	Binary		0	Binary flag indicating a Command CRC mismatch in the last transmission received from the SPI Master. 0 - No CRC mismatch detected. 1 - CRC mismatch detected.
Data CRC Check	Output	Binary		0	Binary flag indicating a Data CRC mismatch in the last transmission received from the SPI Master. 0 - No CRC mismatch detected. 1 - CRC mismatch detected.
PWM Discharge Control x	Output	Binary		0	Outputs the duty cycle of the PWM controlling the balancing switch for cell Cx. The value is represented in 4-bit binary format and corresponds to the PWMCn value. This channel can be mapped to the input of an external cell model to regulate its discharge process.
Discharge Cell x	Output	Binary		0	Binary flag outputting the status of DCC bit x in Configuration Register Group B. 0 - DCC bit is not asserted. 1 - DCC bit is asserted. Continuous discharge of Cell x.
