Firmware 4.3 released
The following bugs are resolved in this release:
ESR is changed in the firmware to follow the standardized method of
ESR testing (IEC 61951-1:2005). Change made the to the ESR is:
ESR Testing
2 AC-ESR testers are now supported within the McM software.
In the settings there is a new circuit breaker added for the Max ESR. When a cell tests above the ESR value than it is marked as bad.
EXPERIMENTAL: It is now possible to scan QR codes using a webcam. This feature is experimental and no support shall be provided when using the feature. If you have some comments and feedback then please put them on FaceBook. This will be read and taken as input for future improvements.
Additional label printers are now added to the software. Zebra printers can now be used which support PCL commands.
During troubleshooting the log level can be set to 'Debug'. This now also includes the charger log output and is recorded in the same log file for better visibility during troubleshooting.
When creating a cell pack it is now possible to filter based on DC-ESR and cell types.
Printing from the Cell Database now includes the details for the charger ID.
Databases containing more the 20.000 cell serial numbers became slower when retrieving charts from the databsae. Indexing is now included in the database to improve the retrieval of records from the database. Also data movement during the end of a workflow is improved
Loading of the cell database view is improved by a factor 8. Loading 20.000 cell serial numbers took 2 minutes 45 seconds and is now reduced to 23 seconds. Also a progress bar is added to show the status of the load.
Firmware 4.2 released
The following bugs are resolved in this release:
When the charger status is:
Bad cells that lose as fast the added current by emitting heat are charging forever. With the new feature it is now restricted to a configurable time frame. Default settings is 4 hours.
Bad cells taking excessive time to charge. With this release the charging timeout is configurable. Default 4 hours.
Unchecking the “ Disable printing” checkbox now disables printing.
REST API is now improved and downloads only the cell type names. Once the user selects a cell type the data is downloaded from the site and stored in the database. Next reqeust to the same cell type shall be served from the database where the REST API is only calling the centralized repository if the data is still current. When an updated data sheet is available (new version of the cell type information) the complete data is downloaded and stored in the database.
mCap workflow now incorporates the “low capacity cell check”. When the mCap workflow completes, the measured cell capacity is compared to the “Reject cells with low capacity” setting and where the capacity test fails, the cell is rejected/marked bad. The workflow terminates at his point.
With the generated cell packs stored within the database, scanning the cell barcode displays
the battery pack
Fixed;
When the store charge started and the cell voltage was higher then the store charge voltage resulted in the mCap to never complete. Fixed;
Date parameter is now available within the label.
The folllowing new features are added to the MegaCellMonitor software:
Brother Label Printers are now supporting the creation of customized labels. More information can be found at the Brother Installation page.
Brother installation pageThe “Cell types” entry is not included as part of the workflow configuration.
Upon workflow completion, the “Cell type” can be entered into the CellLibrary., facilitating the future ability to nominate a single cell make/model to be used during the cell pack creation.
Generating cell packs based on “Cell type” is currently planned for the next release.
