Imports and runs OCV-SOC lookup curves, internal resistance curves, and temperature models to mimic real cells dynamically.
Automated test benches
Battery Simulator Software
Battery simulator software provides the graphical user interface, mathematical battery models, and scripting APIs needed to control simulation hardware during automated testing.
- Graphical user interface (GUI) for multi-channel control
- Custom SOC and battery chemistry curve importing
- Python, LabVIEW, C#, and SCPI API drivers
Short answer: while hardware generates the physical voltage and current, battery simulator software is the brain that drives the test. It executes battery charge/discharge profiles (SOC curves), injects safety faults, automates validation sequences, and logs high-frequency telemetry. It controls hardware modules like battery cell simulators and pack units.
Core Functions
What Does the Software Manage?
Modern battery simulator software controls and monitors test cycles through four key functions.
Programs automated scripts to trigger edge cases, like cell over-voltage, temperature spikes, or open wire faults in specific sequences.
Records real-time channel voltages, currents, and test status at high frequencies for post-test analysis and certification reporting.
Integration APIs
API and Scripting Compatibility
| Interface | Best fit | Typical commands |
|---|---|---|
| SCPI Commands | Direct low-level socket communication. | Set voltage channels, read currents, query status. |
| LabVIEW Drivers | Standard lab instrument setups. | Instrument initialization, channel grouping, virtual instruments (VIs). |
| Python & C# SDKs | Custom script automation and CI/CD benches. | SOC profile execution loops, fault scheduling, custom UI building. |
| CAN / Modbus | BMS and bench system co-communication. | Synchronizing simulator steps with BMS CAN bus reporting. |

FAQ
Battery Simulator Software FAQ
Can I import custom battery models into the software?
Yes. The software supports importing battery parameters via CSV/Excel sheets. You can define open-circuit voltage (OCV) versus state of charge (SOC) curves and internal resistance (Rint) changes.
Does the software support real-time HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) systems?
Yes. By using the C# DLLs, SCPI sockets, or CAN interfaces, the simulator can be driven in real time by external HIL controllers (like dSPACE, NI, or custom systems).
Can I run the software on Linux?
While the graphical GUI is typically Windows-based, the SCPI TCP/IP socket interface is OS-independent and can be controlled from Linux via Python or C++ scripts.
Is there licensing fee for FaithTech software?
Basic control software is usually included with FaithTech simulator hardware. Advanced automation modules or custom bench integration suites may require license packages.
