DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
ADAPTS TO YOUR ARCHITECTURE
SBS Core gives pack designers flexible current sensor placement, vibration-resistant side connections, and integrated safety sensing — all in a compact form factor that simplifies pack design.
Whether the application calls for optimized busbar routing, multi-module topologies, or minimal component count, SBS Core's architecture supports it without compromise.
SBS CORE INTEGRATION ADVANTAGES
Side-Mounted Connectors
Distributed harness weight, vibration-resistant
Flexible Shunt Placement
Optimal busbar position, ±1,000 A range
ASIL B Thermal Event Detection
Integrated sensing with wake-on-thermal-event
Compact Form Factor
IP5K2 enclosure, any mounting orientation
KEY FEATURES
DESIGNED FOR INTEGRATION
The SBS Core delivers core BMS functionality in a cost-optimized, small-footprint package without compromising on safety or performance.
SIDE-MOUNTED CONNECTORS
Horizontal connector orientation distributes harness weight and enables rigid, vibration-resistant connections. The compact form factor matches typical cell height, allowing standing mounting directly next to the cells. IP5K2 rated enclosure.
FLEXIBLE CURRENT SENSING
External shunt architecture lets the pack designer place the current sensor optimally on the busbar. Compatible with dual-alloy shunt for redundant measurement up to ±1,000 A.
ASIL B THERMAL EVENT DETECTION
Integrated thermal event detection achieves ASIL B without external sensor modules. Wake-on-thermal-event capability detects critical conditions even from sleep mode, enabling immediate system response.
SOFTWARE & PLATFORM
BARCELONA PLATFORM
The SBS Core is part of Munich Electrification's 3rd-generation Barcelona BMS platform, sharing a common hardware architecture and software stack with SBS High, SBS Multistring, and SBS Stationary.
All four Barcelona variants run the identical SBS Software Platform. One software image supports every variant, switchable at runtime via the Configuration Framework. This means SBS Core benefits from the same validated, ASIL D ready codebase with 14-day release cadence.
The platform is compatible with ME's CMBXX cell monitoring board family, supporting 6 to 64+ cells per board. SBS Core offers 1–2 isoSPI channels in bus or ring topology, enabling diverse cell monitoring architectures.

APPLICATIONS
BUILD FOR DEMANDING ENVIRONMENTS
HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS
Compact form factor and side-mounted connectors meet demanding vibration profiles. External shunt allows optimal busbar placement for high-current packs.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
Buses, construction equipment, and delivery vehicles benefit from integrated sensors that reduce component count and simplify pack assembly.
MODULAR PACK ARCHITECTURES
Flexible current sensor placement and 1–2x isoSPI (bus or ring) support diverse pack topologies and multi-module configurations.
