3 CXCM Features
The optional CXCM (Cordex Controller, Modular) can be mounted in the rectifier system shelf and brings
advanced monitoring technology to the Cordex series of rectifiers. This compact 4RU system controller is
designed for seamless operation and set up of Apha power systems and is equipped with the complete range of
Cordex software features, including the following:
•
Designed to communicate directly with Cordex rectifiers
•
Includes battery temperature compensation charging
•
Battery performance diagnostics
•
Provides local and remote communications
•
User definable alarms
•
Daily logging of power system events and system statistics.
The CXCM includes a web server providing easy set up and monitoring using an Internet connection with the
standard Windows® Internet Explorer browser.
The data logging feature allows the user to capture data from multiple inputs, for AC/DC voltages, load/battery
current, cell voltages & temperatures (automatically for up to 16 user defined logs). Typical applications of the
CXCM logging include power system details, thermal performance of outdoor enclosures, battery cell specifics, or
mains variations captured by an AC voltage watchdog.
A built-in audio speaker sounds an intermittent tone during active alarms.
The input/output (I/O) board houses a series of terminal connections; located at the back of the system shelf.
