Product Information

The CELLGUARD™ wired Battery Monitoring System (BMS) delivers economical, yet highly accurate and reliable remote health analysis of stationary batteries in applications with high electromagnetic noise. Battery operators are provided with continuous 24/7 monitoring of key battery performance indicators to help enable proactive maintenance, ensure battery performance, and deliver uninterrupted power when it matters the most.

BATTERY SENSORS

One battery sensor per battery is capable of monitoring internal resistance, voltage, and temperature, delivering a comprehensive battery state of health analysis.

BASE COORDINATOR UNIT

The base coordinator unit (BCU) records critical performance elements including alarms and discharge events. Alarm parameters and thresholds are managed through the BCU which also delivers real-time system data through the web-based UNITE™ Battery Asset Management Software.

The BCU can communicate via RS485, Ethernet, MODBUS/RTU, MODBUS/TCP, and SNMP protocols.  Data derived from the BMS is easily integrated into most third-party systems.

STRING SENSOR & CURRENT TRANSDUCER

One string sensor per string, in conjunction with a string current transducer provides monitoring of the string voltage, current, and ambient temperature.

BATTERY VIEW

Dive into the present and historical performance data of individual batteries within a string. Visualize key battery performance indicators and trending data to pinpoint batteries in need of replacement with accuracy.

 UNITE Grid Battery - Discharge.psd

DISCHARGE VIEW

UNITE™ provides a graphical timeline view of every string discharge event for advanced performance analysis and NERC compliance reporting. Discharge data includes start time, end time, voltage, temperature, and current.

INTERNAL RESISTANCE TESTING AND PERFORMANCE TRENDING

The BMS tests a given battery’s internal resistance at a pre-determined interval. The results are then collected and presented as a trend providing the user with genuine DC power plant performance insight.

DISCHARGE EVENTS

Battery discharge events are recorded automatically (including battery voltage, string voltage, discharge current and discharge capacity).
