DEVELOPMENT OF BATTERY-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEMS (BMS) FOR HYBRID- AND ELECTRICAL VEHICLES

The KOPF GmbH develops and supports Battery-Management-Systems (BMS) for leading German companies in the automotive industry. In the area of order processing we undertake independently following process steps:

System

 ► Preparation and coordination of functional specifications (DOORS)
 ► Creation of designs an specifications (DOORS)
 ► Creation of system tests (DOORS, EXAM, AutomationDesk)
 ► Release recommendations

Software

 ► Creation of software designs an specifications (DOORS)
 ► Creation of software respectively generation out of Matlab/Simulink
 ► Module test designs and creations
 ► Integration tests

Hardware

 ► Creation of hardware designs and specifications (DOORS)
 ► Simulations of partial components (SPICE)
 ► Creation of circuit diagrams (Altium)
 ► Hardware test specifications (DOORS + automatization)
 ► Support of sample productions as well as subsequent series production

In coordination with the project, we can use different tools in contrast to the listed between the braces. The safety-relevant battery management systems, which will be produced in series from 2013 or later, are used in hybrid and electrical automotive.
