The BCS
A complete battery control solution that is scalable for commercial and industrial applications
The BCS Solution
- Real-time signal processing
- CAN interface
- MODBUS TCP signal interface
Scalability
A single BCS unit can manage and control up to 100 batteries. Typical setups uses 2, 4, 16 or 24 batteries.
Connection Topologies
400V (1sXp) and 800V (2sXp) connection modes are possible.
Ease of Operation
With the BCS HMI view your connected batteries, run diagnostics, set system controls.
