Information and Instructions for using the Simulation control types. 1. General Description Simulation refers to the ability to input data collected from a non-formulated dynamic regime (i.e. other than Constant Current, Constant Voltage, Constant Power, Ramp, Staircase, Pulse, or Formula) as a control function. There are three control types: 1. Current Simulation – uses a […]
I. Introduction to 3E cell In a battery with 2 electrode, when you measure the battery voltage, you measure the potential difference between the cathode and anode of the battery. In this case, you only see the total difference in potentials and do not know how much each electrode contribute to this difference. You would […]
Arbin continues to power innovation in many areas of battery research, including electrochemical experiments such as cyclic voltammetry (CV). Arbin equipment is designed to perform electrochemical experiments with the precise circuitry required for linear voltage ramps, while the MITS software gives the user a wide variety of options to create test schedule profiles. Understanding the […]
Mechanism explanations: Arbin’s MITS software uses pulse method to calculate IR. In order to achieve better accuracy, the software measures the IR 10 times and takes the average. The pulse looks like the graph bellow: IIR is the amplitude value T2 is the extra control value1 I0 is the offset value IR Calculation Formula: IR […]
I. Purpose and Applicability Battery testing—whether for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, or industrial systems—demands strict safety protocols. One often overlooked but critical element in test chamber safety is the door switch interlock system. This simple yet powerful mechanism helps prevent injuries, equipment damage, and test data corruption. In this article, we’ll explore how door switch […]
According to the standard specifications published by Arbin, integrating a Gamry device with an Arbin system typically limits the device’s original frequency capability from 2 MHz down to 100 kHz. However, in this article, we will introduce a solution that allows the system to retain the full 2 MHz frequency, with some trade-offs to consider. Pre-Conditions for Achieving […]
Die IR-Messung ist entscheidend, um einen Einblick in eine Batterie zu bekommen. Es gibt viele Wege, d.h. viele Standards, um den IR-Wert einer Batterie zu messen. Dieser Artikel stellt den IEC 61960-Standard vor und zeigt, wie er mit den Geräten von Arbin umgesetzt werden kann. IEC 61960 Standard für Batterie-IR: In diesem Standard wird ein Entladeimpuls von 0,2C für 10 [...]
Introduction Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a foundational diagnostic technique for evaluating battery health, internal resistance, degradation mechanisms, and electrochemical behavior over time. However, EIS is traditionally limited by hardware complexity and high per-channel cost, making it difficult to scale across large battery test systems. To address these challenges, Arbin Instruments offers an integrated EIS […]
I. Zweck und Anwendungsbereich: Das Protection Circuit Module (PCM) ist ein wichtiges elektronisches Bauteil, das für die Überwachung und den Schutz von Geräten in einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen verantwortlich ist - von kleinen Unterhaltungselektronikgeräten bis hin zu großen Industrieanlagen. Seine Hauptfunktion besteht darin, die Sicherheit von Batterien und Geräten zu gewährleisten, indem es gefährliche Zustände wie Überladung, Überentladung, Überstrom und Kurzschlüsse verhindert [...]
Einführung Das Arbin-Hilfsspannungseingangsmodul ermöglicht eine präzise, hochauflösende Spannungsüberwachung für Batterietestanwendungen, die Messungen über die Standard-I/V-Kanäle hinaus erfordern. Typische Anwendungsfälle sind die Überwachung einzelner Zell- oder Modulspannungen innerhalb eines größeren Packs, die Messung von Referenzelektroden in Dreielektrodenzellen oder der Vergleich von BMS-Daten mit direkt gemessenen Werten. Jedes Modul unterstützt [...]
Introduction Battery temperature measurement is essential for evaluating safety, longevity, and performance in modern testing environments. Arbin supports three primary sensor technologies—thermocouples (Type T and K), RTDs (PT100), and thermistors (10kΩ)—each available through dedicated auxiliary input modules. These sensors enable precise temperature control, monitoring, and safety logic throughout battery R&D and production Description Battery testing […]
As we all know, the batteries’ capacity degrade by cycle of charge and discharge. If we set the charge and discharge current of a fixed value, such as 1A, 2A,… the length of each cycle will gradually decreases, simply because the battery’s capacity decreases: Cycle time = (Charge Capacity + Discharge Capacity)/Current Sometimes users want […]
