- Description
- NASA/JSC has a requirement for 1 Battery Test System. STATEMENT OF WORK: PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR B354 BATTERY TEST SYSTEM 1.1 OVERALL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS This battery test system must be composed of a PC-type (Windows based) computer, a user data/control/interface program, and multi-channel, microprocessor-based, modular hardware; and be capable of collecting voltage, current, and temperature data on a battery for a particular test channel. A test channel is defined here as a positional port where the battery being tested is installed, and battery data (current/temperature/voltage) is collected in response to software-controlled test scenarios (profiles such as charge/discharge/rest/heat/cool). This test system must consist of 12 independent channels. Each channel is to be software configured, capable of providing a maximum charge/discharge current of +/- 10 Amp and a current range adjustable for constant-current mode to within + 0.05% accuracy of full scale tolerance (High 10A, Medium 1A, Low 100mA). Each channel should also have a 0 to +5 Vdc voltage range (with the ability to perform a deep discharge down to 0VDC) adjustable for constant-voltage mode to within + 0.05% accuracy of full-scale voltage. Each channel should have a ?20?C to 100?C temperature range with a ?1.5% accuracy of the full-scale temperature. The + 0.05% accuracy for current and voltage should last a minimum of six months before calibration is required. The + 1.5% accuracy for temperature should last a minimum of six months before calibration is required. 1.2 DATA/CONTROL/INTERFACE SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS 1.2.1 The software must be capable of independently configuring each test channel with different charge/discharge/rest/heat/cool profiles that can be saved and recalled for subsequent test runs. 1.2.2 The software must have the capability to provide complex charge/discharge/rest/heat/cool cycles on per channel basis. ?Complex? cases follow below. 1.2.3 The software must be capable of providing up to ten step (?staircase?) functions as part of a test run profile. 1.2.4 The software must be capable of contiguously mixing adjustable high sample rate (down to 1 millisecond) test segments with adjustable low sample rate segments (i.e. switch on high sample data acquisition rate on any or all voltage or current test channel parameters during pulse discharge periods). 1.2.5 The software must be capable of performing discharge and charge current pulsing with a minimum pulse width of 100ms. During any current pulse the data system needs to acquire a minimum of 10 data samples evenly spaced. [Note: Positive discrimination may be given towards manufacturers providing the capability for user defined high and low speed settings.] 1.2.6 The software and hardware must have the capability for each channel to perform pulsing independent of each other channel. All 12 channels need to be able to perform pulsing. 1.2.7 The software must have the capability to configure each test channel?s profile(s) for ?stop-test?, based on logical ?And? / ?Or? criteria of voltage, current, temperature, capacity (Amp-hrs), time and derivative related condition(s) battery parameters. Example (1): ?Stop channel test if battery voltage is ?., OR temperature is ?.? Example (2): ?Stop channel test if capacity is ?. AND time is ?. hours? 1.2.8 The software must provide the capability to terminate a particular channel?s test and force an open circuit condition at the battery under test terminals, based on same logical criteria basis as mentioned above (1.2.6). 1.2.9 The software must provide the capability to terminate a particular channel?s test and force an open circuit condition at the battery under test terminals, as a ?manual abort? on the program?s runtime screen. 1.2.10 The software must be capable of recovering test data in case of PC program failure (computer crash) and continue to test upon PC re-boot. 1.2.11 The software must have the capability to graph and simultaneously display the capacity, current, pressure, temperature, voltage, and derivative related acquired data from each test channel while the test is in progress. 1.2.11 The software must provide data analysis tools. 1.2.12 The software must have the capability to produce hard copy data plots. 1.2.13 The software must be capable of conducting internal resistance battery measurements. 1.2.14 The software must have the capability to export acquired data to Microsoft Excel. 1.2.15 The software must have the capability to perform system readiness tests. 1.2.16 The software must have the capability to control a thermal chamber. The interface must allow a desired set point to be chosen as well as a rate of temperature increase and decrease (control the slope of temperature versus time). In the event of failure, the system must fail safe meaning the chamber will return to ambient temperature. 1.2.17 The software must have the capability to control a thermal chamber in the following manner: Hold until chamber temperature is met, discharge all cells independently, hold until all cells are completed, change temperature if desired and hold until the chamber temperature is met, charge all cells independently, hold until all cells are completed. This process may be repeated at least 100 times with the addition of pulsed charge and discharge profiles as needed. 1.3 TEST SYSTEM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS 1.3.1 The test system hardware must be composed of a micro-controller/micro-processor based battery test stand that will independently handle all control and data storage independent of the PC terminal. The PC terminal will be used to generate test profiles and collect data as it is released from the battery test stand's buffer. The battery test stand needs to have the ability to ascertain if the PC is unable to collect data and if so needs to perform a shut down of the test stand. The shunt down needs to consist of physical hardware isolation of the test stand from the battery's under test. 1.3.2 The test system hardware needs to have an open circuit impedance of greater than 1Mohms. 1.3.3 The test system needs to have a utility service connection for 208VAC single-phase 60Hz (50A) or 240VAC three phase 60 Hz (50A). 1.3.4 Each test system channel must have test active/inactive status LED(s). 1.3.3 Test system hardware must have detailed channel calibration procedures (state if the channels support auto-calibration), and easily accessible calibration area. 1.3.4 Test system hardware must have 12 temperature measurement inputs. The usual temperature range is -20.0 ?C to 100.0 ?C. [Note: Positive discrimination may be given towards manufacturers providing additional future expansion capability.] 1.3.5 Test system hardware must have a minimum field-upgradeable expansion capability of 12 channels. [Note: Positive discrimination may be given towards manufacturers providing additional future expansion capability.] 1.3.6 Test system hardware must have the capability to properly function with a Cincinnati sub-zero temperature chamber model No. Zh-32-2-2-H/AC Watlow F4 controller utilizing a RS232 communications card module and Mod bus protocol. 1.3.7 The test system must have a minimum of 12 general cylindrical and 12 flat cell holders. 1.4 OPERATIONS REQUIREMENTS 1.4.1 START-UP SUPPORT: Vendor must provide technical support for software/hardware installation and system start-up. [Note: Positive discrimination may be given towards manufacturers providing free training.] 1.4.2 DOCUMENTATION: Required submittal of two sets of hardware/software operation manual, hardware/software user?s manual, and circuit diagrams/component lists. [Note: Non-disclosure statement may be signed if necessary.] This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
