BQ78350-R2-DEVICE-FW: BQ78350-R2 GPC Report Error with "unidentified reason"

Part Number: BQ78350-R2-DEVICE-FW

Hello E2E Forum,

I've been having issues with the GPC tool.

I've had successful results in the past for another batter packs, but this time I always get an error report with an unknown reason.

I don't know what could be wrong with my GPC package, since I already tried to change numerous things and also compared it to older GPC packages that already did work.

Attached you can see my last version of the GPC package. I hope that someone could help me.

Thanks in advancePackage.rar

  • Hi,

    It looks like this file fails because it has discontinuity in the room temperature low rate log file.

  • Hi Matt,

    thank you for your fast response.

    You're right, there was a discontinuity in my log file. I simply interpolated the missing values and tried to send it over to the GPC CEDV tool again.

    Now i get another error message:

    I think that it is a good idea to plot the csv data, because if there are any issues you are able to detect them easily.

    So I did a I think to know what the problem is, but also wanted to ask you what you think.

    Please take a look at my measurements. IMO hightemp_lowrate.jpg and roomtemp_lowrate.jpg are causing this issue?!

    I was not able to figure out why this measuremetn failed but I will try to start over again.

    Could you please tell me if you think that this is the cause for the error message from the GCP CEDV tool?!

    Thanks!

  • I do not see anything wrong in the plots at first glance. For some reason, the error message image did not come through in your post. Can you resend the error message?

    Thanks,

    Matt

  • Of course,

    hopefully this time it works...

  • One thing you can try is to use different Max SOC and Min SOC settings to see if it resolves the error. If this does not work, can you send me the updated corrected package you are sending to the tool?

    Thanks,

    Matt

  • I tried to vary both parameters MAX SoC and MIN SoC in the config file, but I still always get back the same Accuracy Error message.

    Below my last version of hte GPC package:

    7737.GPCPackaged.zip

    Thank you!

  • Thanks for sending the package. I've asked our algorithm expert to look at this to see what the problem might be.

  • See the link to the attached report below using the data you collected. Our algorithm expert was able to get normal accuracy with your package. He experimented with different min and max settings and sees better results with a max of 8 and a min of 6.

    Fundamentally high error at high temperature high rate case happens because this data includes extreme temperature rise all the way to 70C. With such large temperature swing equation is reaching its limits. To reduce the error the high temp high rate case would have to be collected at lower rate.

  • Hello Matt,

    thank you for your quick response and your help.

    I changed the values in the BMS and now I will try to run some accuracy tests.

    Regarding the error that occured.

    [1] Does that mean that I should not reach temperatures up to 70°C during data collection?

    [2] If so, what would you recommend as max temperature?

    [3] Also if that is the case, I need to collect my data at lower current rates. Do I need to lower the current rate to the same value for all high rate measurents or only for the high current - high temp cycle because this one was critical?

    Thanks for your help

  • You only need to lower the current rate for the high current - high temp cycle. The max spec for the GPCCEDV tool is 70°C, so it would be good to try to stay well under that limit. 

    Best regards,
