Patent ID: 11880324
Assignee: CATERPILLAR INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 12:
13. A machine, comprising:
a battery configured to:
output energy, and
output, via a first battery data interface, native battery data formatted based on a first battery data format, wherein the native battery data expresses a plurality of parameters via first registers defined by the first battery data format;

a machine power system configured to:
receive the energy from the battery, and
receive, via a second battery data interface, battery data formatted based on a second battery data format, wherein the battery data expresses the plurality of parameters via second registers defined by the second battery data format; and

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