Assignee: CATERPILLAR INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. The machine of claim 13, further comprising:
a second battery configured to:
output second energy to the machine power system; and
output, via a third battery data interface, second native battery data formatted based on a third battery data format, wherein the second native battery data expresses the plurality of parameters via third registers defined by the third battery data format; and

a second battery data translator positioned in a second data communication path between the third battery data interface of the second battery and the second battery data interface of the machine power system, wherein the second battery data translator is configured to:
receive the second native battery data from the third battery data interface of the second battery;
determine a second translation map associated with the second battery data format and the third battery data format, the second translation map indicating a second plurality of mappings between:
the third registers, defined by the third battery data format, that correspond to the plurality of parameters, and
the second registers, defined by the second battery data format, that also correspond to the plurality of parameters;

convert, based on the second translation map, the second native battery data into second translated battery data that expresses the plurality of parameters via the second registers; and
transmit the second translated battery data to the second battery data interface of the machine power system.
