Protection Module

High power dual pole contactor module with precharge, pyrofuse short circuit protection, current measurement/coulomb counting, and active insulation monitoring all in one place. Capable of up to 1200A at 450V. Build safe multi-pack battery systems by combining protected battery packs in series.

Detect Problems Early

Protects your investment by actively monitoring for changes in ground isolation impedance, detecting imminent ground faults before they become hazardous.

Active monitoring verifies correct connections between modules, and its own internal integrity on start-up, helping to avoid costly or hazardous wiring problems and failures.

Simplified Wiring

Fewer wires gets you on the road quicker, with fewer points of failure. Just make 4 high voltage connections, compared to 10+ to achieve similar functionality conventionally.

Canaan Electric modules communicate via isolated daisy-chain topology (optional full loop for redundancy) and ship with pre-made cables in the box. No crimping, just plug in.

Replaceable Pyrofuse Short Circuit Protection

Minimize damage to batteries and power electronics by interrupting short circuits in less than a millisecond, often before full short circuit current is even reached. Configurable trigger level.

While conventional sand fuses can mitigate fire risk, they operate much more slowly, leaving batteries and power electronics more vulnerable to damage.

Pyrofuse meets stringent automotive reliability standards (meets ISO 26262 ASIL-D failure rate requirements). Replacements are available direclty from us, and widely available as a common part used by many OEM EV manufacturers.

Track Cell Health and Charge

Protection Modules and Cell Modules work together to provide precise state of charge and health statistics. Protection Module integrates a high precision 24-bit current sensor with coulomb counting.

Dew Point Warning

Anticipate costly condensation and moisture buildup by monitoring relative humidity and dewpoint within the battery pack.

Digital Interlock Loop

Each disconnect module features an independent interlock loop, digitally coordinated by the Control Module. This simplifies interlock loop wiring by keeping each loop within its respective battery enclosure.

Crash Detection

Quickly isolate hazardous voltages by remotely firing the pyrofuse and/or opening contactors in the event of a crash. Configurable response up to 150G achieved via automotive grade airbag IMU.

Maintenance Disconnect

Stay safe with pin-protected lockout in maintenance mode.

Cell Module

Manage cell health by balancing and monitroing up to 16 cell voltages and 5 cell temperatures per module. Daisy chain up to 16 modules to manage as many as 256 cells.

Voltage Monitoring and Balancing

Maximize cell longevity and energy capacity by balancing cell voltages across the entire battery system.

Track Cell Charge and Health

Cell Modules and Protection Modules work together to provide precise state of charge and health statistics.

Real Time Power Limiting

Avoid damaging cells by dynamically limiting powertrain power. Cell and Protection Modules work together to estimate real-time charge and discharge power capability. Control Module reports real-time power capability to the powertrain via CAN.

Control Module

Control Canaan Electric modules, a 1kW digital fuse box, and 3rd party CAN devices all from one configurable state machine.

Control Module Lite is for BMS-only applications that use Protection and/or Cell Modules. No general purpose I/O or other vehicle control functionality.

Vehicle State Management

Control Canaan Electric modules, integrate with 3rd party powertrains, and manage general purpose I/O all from one configurable state machine.

J1772 Charging Management

Wire J1772 proximity and pilot signals directly to the Control Module, and let it handle charging state management. Automatically begin charging on plug-in, or schedule charging for later.

EVSE ampacity and state can be communicated to on board charger/s via CAN, or enabled by hardwired signal.

1kW Digital Fuse Box

Ten channels of PWM ready 12V power up to 10A each. Capable of 1kW total peak power, and 500W of continuous power. Channels can be configured in parallel for higher output current.

7 General Purpose Inputs

7 input channels individually configurable for analog, digital, or NTC thermistor input.

7 500mA General Purpose Outputs

8 PWM ready output channels capable of 500mA each. Perfect for generating control pulsetrains for coolant pumps, ac compressors, etc.

Dedicated Error Lamp Driver

Dedicated lamp driver for error indication with open-load detection, so errors never go unnoticed.

Connect From Any Smartphone

Connect to Control Module from any IOS or Android smartphone via Bluetooth.

Control Module Lite

Control Module Lite is ideal for simple systems, or systems that make use of a 3rd party VCU. Control Module Lite just needs power and an ignition signal (hardwired or CAN).

Cockpit App

Configure, monitor, and update from any iOS or Android smartphone. No dongles or drivers.

Configuration Wizards

Cockpit's suite of configuration wizards walk you through wiring and configuration step-by-step.

Live Dashboard

Use Cockpit as a basic gauge cluster for driving.
