Arbin’s MITS Pro software is regarded as the most powerful and flexible in the industry.  It serves as the interface platform for all of our testing systems; covering all energy storage testing applications including electrochemistry, basic life cycling, and real-world simulations. 

 

Arbin testing systems include a PC with MITS Pro pre-installed and configured for each user’s specific testing system.

Software Highlights

Logical menu-driven programming for control types, termination conditions, and data logging conditions.
Simulate a test directly from a text file of time-vs-current or time-vs-power data such as a drive profile. (DST, FUDS, HPPC, etc.)
Control or monitor 3rd party hardware such as temperature chambers, or flow battery hardware such as pumps, flow meters, heaters, valves, etc.
Communicate with internal battery mgmt system (BMS) via CANBus or SMBus protocols.
Parallel any number of channels to allow increased current handling while automatically compiling data.
Many optional measurement inputs are available such as additional reference electrodes, temperature measurements, and more.

01 - MITS Pro

Mits Pro allows fully customizable test profiles known as test “schedules” using logic-based parameters and dropdown menus.

 

02 - MITS Pro: Add Steps

Create a test “step” and select a control type from the dropdown list:
Current                C-Rate                                             Current/Power Simulation
Voltage                 CC-CV                                            Mathematic Formula
Power                   Voltage/Current Ramp                  Custom Current Pulse
Load                      Voltage/Current Staircase            Set Variables (loops)
Rest (OCV)        DC Internal Resistance                  …and more

03 - MITS Pro: Enter Control Value

Set a numeric control value or select one of over 90+ pre-defined meta variables, 16 user-defined meta variables, or a mathematical formula for ultimate control of the test.

04 - MITS Pro: Set Termination Condition(s)

Add one or more termination conditions from a drop-down list with the option to use logical AND & OR functions.  Create loops, nested loops, conditional branches and more.

05 - MITS Pro: Set Data Logging Criteria

Add and Customize one or more data logging intervals to automatically capture extra data during important events.  Log based on change in Time, Voltage, or Current.

06 - MITS Pro: User Defined Meta Variable

Add one or more “Set Value(s)” to automatically:

1.Save specific cycle capacity to MV_Udx and use it as a new C-Rate value in other cycles (example shown in step 3).

2.Save Internal Resistance value to MV_Udx and use it anywhere in the schedule for calculation (example shown in step 6).

3.Exit based on a specific capacity value (example shown in step 7).

 

01 - Data Watcher: Real-Time Plotting

Data Watcher allows data to be viewed graphically in real-time while tests are running.

data-watcher-01

02 - Data Watcher: Real-Time Plotting

data-watcher-02

Plot up to 2 X-axis and 4 Y-axis variables on a single chart or split between two separate charts.
Chart limits automatically scale dynamically while tests are running.

03 - Data WatcherP: Real-Time Plotting

data-watcher-03

Click on a point along the plot to view a brief selection of data.  Further data analysis is performed by accessing the full database.  

04 - Data Watcher: Additional Features

  • View individual and multiple channels on the same chart.
  • Plot main channel data as well as any auxiliary data such as auxV and temperature.
  • Axis limits can be fixed or dynamic while tests are running.
  • Zoom in and out of the plot to view more detail in a specific area.
  • Data Watcher comes pre-installed with the Arbin system, and users also have the license to install Data Watcher on multiple PC’s.

01 - Data Pro Macro

Data Pro is an Excel macro that automatically imports data from our SQL database into Excel format for ease of use and plotting.

excel-02

Individual or multiples channels of data may be imported into an Excel workbook.  The import can be customized to include all data or a specified range of cycles or data points.

Each channel’s data may be separated in its on sheet.

02 - Data Pro Macro: Statistic Data

excel-03

Per-Cycle data is automatically generated.

03 - Data Pro Macro: Plotting

excel-05

The Data Pro Macro provides an easy to use plotting utility and users have Excel’s full capability to customize the plot for report formatting.

SQL Server

Raw Arbin data is stored in a SQL server which provides a robust and flexible solution for users to work with the large amounts of data generated during long-term testing.  

sql

SQL Server has native backup and networking capabilities built-in, but Arbin also provides some kits to help novice users who are not familiar with SQL create tailored backups on their network.

Arbin’s Data Pro macro automatically converts user data into Excel format so users never have to see SQL to analyze data.

01 - Safety: Object File

Create DUT object file.

 

02 - Safety: Global

Once the Object File is assigned to the test, global safety parameters automatically populated based on the values in the Object File. Safety settings can be further tailored at the step-level when tighter control is needed. Arbin’s MITS Pro also uses intelligent battery behavior checks during testing to help prevent accidents.

03 - Safety: Global + Object

04 - Global Safety: Clamp Protections

Since Arbin testing systems have a redundant microcontroller for each module dedicated to monitoring safety limits, a secondary set of voltage limits may be set for each channel. This functions as a failsafe.

05 - Safety: Test Schedule

Create safety limits that immediately stop the test or create safety limits that will trigger periods of rest or cooldown before continuing.

About Arbin Software

Users have the ability to charge and discharge an energy storage device based on application-specific test requirements such as using the c-rate function for battery testing, voltage ramps to perform cyclic voltammetry, or online ESR measurements for supercapacitors.

Dozens of control types are available in addition to a vast library of over 90+ unique meta variable conditions, and our formula feature which offers near limitless potential.  The sophistication to use meta variables and formulas instead of fixed numeric values alone is what makes Arbin’s software superior.  One common example is that users can use the “last step value of voltage” instead of repeatedly entering 4.2V as a control value.

Arbin has thousands of systems running in over 50 countries around the world.
