2.2.4 Using Multiple LMU Modules

When the no of cells to be monitored is more than 18 in a stack multiple no of VinciX-LMU modules are deployed as a daisy chain. The maximum number of modules that are supported in a stack depends on the required scan rate of the cell voltage measurements.

The timing analysis data yet be updated.
