Complicated Systems
Integrated into One

PFX2500 SERIESPFX2512/2532 Series has integrated systems into one unit where battery evaluation is required. In addition, the series
has high degrees of flexibility corresponding to wide range of rating since it is possible to combine our conventional DC
power supply (for charging) and our electronic load (for discharging) tailored to needs. Introduction cost is able to be
reduced by selecting equipment which meets charge/discharge test condition required.

Measurement Function

Easy Configuration
It is possible to configure the system by yourself. The DC power supply andelectronic load that are applied configuration with PFX2512/2532, can beused for the system. This allows you to have a test system at low cost.
* For details, please refer to system configuration on page 5.

Control of the Constant Current (CC)and Constant Voltage (CV)The adoption of the digital CC/CV control method minimizes the disparities
in the constant current(CC)/ constant voltage(CV) setting accuracy and drift
characteristics due to the differences in the system component devices(DCpower supplies and electronic loads). This ensures highly accurate tests.
There is absolutely no need to make adjustments after system configuration.

Highly accurate measurement
Highly accurate measurement circuits are built in. Battery voltage andcharge/discharge current are detected with high accuracy. ( Voltage
measurement: 100 μV resolution, current measurement: 100 μA resolution,
elapsed time measurement: monthly error of 30 s or less (10 ppm or less))
True electric energy and integrated capacity can be measured even for pulse
currents that are difficult to be captured.

Protection Functionsfor Safety Operation
Equipped with protection functions provided by hardware and software
against phenomena such as overcharge and overdischarge. The route switch(load switch) is built in the PFX2500 series and it equips with a function toensure connection between the DUT (batteries) and the DC power supply/
electronic load as well as a high-speed interruption function that promptly
disconnects the DC power supply/electronic load in case any abnormal
state is detected. In addition, the vibration sensor detects major vibrationand shock in case of a disaster or accident during charge and discharge
test, then shuts off the output, and it prevents a damage to the connected
equipment and the DUT (batteries).

Up to 10000 Steps for Pattern
Charge/Discharge
It is capable to set the CC/CP (with V, I limit) step values up to 10000.
Complicated charge/discharge test with minimum 100 ms step of time
window since high speed charge/discharge transfer control becomesfunctional. This widely corresponds to the generation of test patterns or
simulation patterns for various specification tests.

Measurement points, 4 points for voltage and 4 points for temperature, areable to be added by installing optional voltage/temperature Unit, OP02PFX. Since there are 3 slots for optional board, measurement point additionis capable up to 12 points for voltage and 12 points for temperature as
maximum.
By installing an Voltmeter Unit OP03-PFX in an option slot on the SL01PFX*1, you can increase the number of voltmeter measurement points.
If OP03-PFX units are installed in all option slots of the SL01-PFX*1, voltage
measurement points can be expanded to 64 points.
*1 OP02-PFX cannot be installed.
When using the option "SD01-PFX", one of the internal expansion slot of PFX2353/2512 will
be used.

Corresponding to Specification Test Pattern
by Realizing Seamless Charge/Discharge
A certain time was required for transferring power supply and electronicload in the past. Seamless charge/discharge transfer has been realized
at PFX2512/2532 by the simultaneous control of power supply andelectronic load. For this reason, correspondence to characteristic
test of recapturing complex applications such as application wherecharge/discharge repeating without taking breath is performed forelectric motorcycle and electric assisted bicycle as well as electricvehicle and hybrid vehicle, and application for UPS for peak shift andto specification test pattern where continuous charge/discharge isperformed such as IEC62660 became possible.

More Accurate Single Cell Evaluation
with 6V Range

Minimum 1 ms (maximum 6000 points for every profile) voltage/current measurements are capable by assigned voltage and current
steps as trigger. This is most suited to impedance analysis of test andevaluation of life determination since high-precision voltage waveformsynchronized to step current can be acquired.

PFX2512/2532 equips Voltage Range transfer capability between 6 V
and 60 V. A 6 V range was newly installed in PFX2512/2532 in orderto perform evaluation more accurately even for a single cell. 6 V range
accuracy = ±(0.05 % of reading + 0.04 % of rating), 60 V range accuracy= ±(0.05 % of reading + 0.02 % of rating). In addition to the stacked cell
assembly, more accurate characteristic test is capable with single cell.

When monitoring the status of each cell of the battery pack is required, install the optional voltage/
thermometer unit OP02-PFX. By installing OP02PFX on PFX2512/2532, voltages/temperatures
for four cells are able to be monitored/logged with
one sheet, respectively. (Up to 3 boards can beinstalled.) For a battery pack connected in series,
monitoring of balance among cells is important.
With OP02-PFX, the charge and discharge control
can be stopped according to the status of each cell.In addition, it is equipped witha function to stop charge and discharge when the balance beteen the cells in thebattery pack becomes large (maximum voltage - minimum voltage). Furthermore,at the time of pulse discharge, voltage can be measured at the same time as thesynchronization of all cells for load fluctuations.

BATTERY

Application of the charge current causes a voltage drop in the DUT cable, connecting cables, thecurrent pass route of the PFX2500 series, etc. The power loss at charging caused by this voltage
drop is the route loss. The maximum power that can be used for charging is the value from which
the route loss is subtracted.

The electronic load has minimum operating voltage (1.5 V in PLZ1004W), and it does not operate
at the voltage below the specified level. The result of an addition of this level and the route loss
(voltage drop) is the minimum operating voltage for discharge.
