[0002] There are a large number of BMS devices in large-scale power supply systems. To maintain the update function, security, stability and operating efficiency of the power supply system, the firmware of each BMS device must be kept up to date. However, there are certain differences in the hardware specifications, firmware types and network environments of these devices. If updates are simply pushed to each BMS, it is easy for the update to fail due to network environment and other problems, or even the firmware is damaged and the BMS device stops working, affecting the stability of the entire power supply system.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to test the batch upgrade of BMS device firmware. If real BMS devices are used for testing, the cost of occupying a large number of BMS devices is high, and the BMS devices lack redundant space and form test logs. At the same time, the network environment in which the BMS devices are located is relatively simple and cannot provide flexible simulation of the actual complex network environment, so the test effect is poor.
