Detect loss of proper cell connection with BQ76PL536

Hey guys,

I developed a complete BMS solution, based on the above mentioned monitoring device. I sticked to EVM-schematics but I am facing problems to detect a missing (ripped-off) cell-connection.
How it the device supposed to detect that of of the cells is not connected to the device any more?


For example. If i do hot unplug any cell of the cellstack in between other cells, the cell-voltage measured on this channel would just go up or down by a few mV. So I am still measuring a voltage around the expected values, but I need to measure somethine arround 0V to detect the cell-connection problem. Hope I made myself clear. 

Thanks for advice!
