BMS (Battery Monitor System)

The Cordex CXC is Argus’ latest generation of advanced digital controllers for DC power system monitoring and control. Cordex supervisory controllers come in a wide array of modular designs for compact integration into Argus DC systems. Stand-alone rack mount versions are also available for DC systems, legacy controller upgrades, and site monitoring solutions. A graphic LCD display with state-of-the-art touch-screen interface allows simple and convenient set up, control, and monitoring of Cordex rectifiers. Innovative IP technology allows complete configuration and monitoring from any location via the Internet using a standard web browser. Cordex CXC controllers come standard with several advanced battery management features to allow for significant savings of capital and operational expenses. Some additional features include user definable alarms with custom algorithms, digital and analog input monitoring, data logging, integrated SNMP, and highly reliable CAN bus communications. Optional RS-485 communication is also available to control the legacy “Pathfinder” series of rectifiers. The Cordex CXC is designed for effortless operation of the Cordex rectifier family, making time consuming and complicated set up and monitoring of DC power systems a thing of the past.
