Franklin Grid CGBC-350 – CELLGUARD Wireless Base Coordinator Unit (BCU) with Webserver And Modbus

• Wireless base coordinator unit (BCU) with Webserver and Modbus
• 1x for up to 16 strings, open racks same room. Or, 1 per enclosed cabinet is needed
• Supports up to 16 strings with 300 batteries per string
• Supports up to 600 sensors per BCU (irrespective of how they are divided by strings)
• Battery voltage test interval range: 1-24 hrs

The CELLGUARD Wireless Battery Monitoring System (BMS) provides an accurate and reliable indication of battery state-of-health through monitoring and analysis of battery voltage, temperature, and conductance.

Ensure Uptime With Advanced 24/7 Remote Monitoring

Get remote access to the information you need to proactively maintain your stationary power systems and avoid costly downtime. With solid noise immunity, the CELLGUARD™ Wireless Battery Monitoring System is suited for applications including power utilities, data centers, telecommunications systems, and DC systems with filtered AC electrical ripple.

BATTERY SENSOR MODULE

Connects to and is powered from the monitored battery, minimizing wiring, installation costs and maintenance. Monitoring capabilities include conductance, voltage, strap resistance and temperature for each mono-block/cell /jar. Compatible with VRLA and VLA batteries.

Base Coordinator Unit

Manages battery sensor test activities, collects test data and communicates to Converge web interface via TCIP/IP, and is powered by the battery string voltage converter via battery string power. Supports MODBUS TCP/IP to integrate with building infrastructure.

Installation cost and time are reduced with the system’s wireless communication capabilities which enable all hardware to communicate to the Base controller free of cabling.

Conductance-based monitoring technology provides the most accurate, efficient, and non-invasive method possible for monitoring a battery’s state of health.

Comprised of a Base Coordinator Unit (BCU) and single-battery sensor modules, the system provides both visual and digital battery state-of-health and is capable of monitoring up to 16 battery strings, up to 300 sensors per string, and up to 600 sensors per BCU (irrespective of how they are divided by strings).

The highly intuitive CONVERGE web interface enables rapid, confident installation, remote system monitoring, alarm threshold configuration, rock-solid reporting (including granular discharge data gathering), and critical over-the-air sensor firmware updates.
