Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of a Toshiba Energy Storage System (ESS) device. RemotEye® ESS is a
network card designed for Toshiba's SCiB ESS. It receives the status and data from the SCiB ESS host
board to provide it to other systems. This data can be transmitted to other systems, such as building
management systems via Modbus TCP/RTU, SNMP, and BACnet/IP protocols for trending and events
monitoring. RemotEye® ESS also provides an embedded web server to allow easy configuration via a web
browser.

RemotEye® ESS System Application
The following diagram shows how the RemotEye® ESS can be used in a network application. It supports
various protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, and HTTP. It allows building management systems (BMS) to
obtain the ESS status, ESS data, and set up RemotEye® ESS configuration via the network. In addition, a
BMS can capture environmental temperature and humidity via an environmental sensor that can be
attached to RemotEye® ESS. A BMS can communicate with RemotEye® ESS via RS-485 or Ethernet
interface.
