WF 5218 Battery Monitoring and Balancing Node
The WF 5218 is a 12‑channel battery monitoring and balancing node for accurate cell measurement in series‑connected battery modules or packs. Each channel integrates a high‑voltage multiplexer, precision ADC, and a passive balancing resistor. The module also includes inputs for resistive temperature sensors.
A 1600 VDC double‑insulation barrier isolates the battery domain from the communication interface, providing highest personal safety in high‑voltage applications.
Multiple WF 5218 units can be connected in series and interfaced through the WF 5220 Gateway (USB) or the WF 5221 Gateway (EtherCAT). Both interfaces support open standards for easy software integration in common programming languages such as C, Python, C#, and LabVIEW.
