It is expected that the development process will be streamlined and the testing phase will be accelerated by modeling, developing, and verifying BMS applications in MATLAB and Simulink.

MathWorks, in collaboration with NXP, has released a Battery Management System (BMS) Model-Based Design Toolbox (MBDT).

This toolbox enables engineers to model, develop, and verify BMS applications in MATLAB and Simulink.

BMS is an important system that ensures the performance, durability, and safety of the battery pack of an electric vehicle.

MBDT enables engineers to run and test Simulink BMS models directly on NXP processors, streamlining the development process and accelerating the test phase.

“MBDT enables us to identify and resolve issues early in the design process, resulting in faster design iterations and reduced time to market,” said Lars Leger, CTO at NXP.

MBDT solutions provide an efficient way to design and test BMS algorithms through simulation. This allows engineers to test BMS systems in a variety of scenarios and receive feedback on actual hardware prototypes.

“MBDT is a critical tool for improving the efficiency, reliability, and safety of battery systems in the EV market,” said Jim Tung, MathWorks Fellow.
