Phocos MCU | Modular Central Unit

Phocos MCU

Modular central unit within the Phocos MPM (modular power management) system solar charge controller, 12/24/48V, controls up to 16 power units

MPM = Phocos Modular Power Management for off-grid systems

 
The MCU is not a charge controller, it is an modular central unit within the Phocos Modular Power Management (MPM) system. Manages up to 16x components of MPPT / MPS / MCS, compatible with MTS / MRD / MXI. Individual system settings possible via MODCOM software (details below).  

Example of Phocos Modular Power Management, based on MCU (as central unit).

 
As the central control unit, MCU is a key component of Phocos modular power management family (MPM). MCU offers a variety of functions such as priority load management based on user-adjustable voltage thresholds as well as control or alarm functions through an integrated relay control output.

This intelligent control unit allows for the synchronization of up to 16x Phocos power modules MPPT/MPS/MCS (up to 8 MPPT or MPS solar chargers, up to 8 MPS load controllers and up to 4 MCS shunt interfaces) while providing complete system monitoring with integrated datalogging memory. MCU features open an endless spectrum of system design possibilities and combinations. 

Customizing your system electronics is as simple as choosing the appropriate Modular Power Management components for the application and assigning their responsibilities. This flexibility eliminates production lead times for customized electronics for standalone power supplies. Synchronizes up to 16 power modules (MPS/MPPT) (up to 8 MPM chargers, up to 8 MPM load switches, up to 4 MCS shunt interfaces).

• Excess energy management 
• Up to five years datalogging memory 
• Relay control output 
• Intelligent load management 
• PC interface 
• Advanced diversion control 
• DIN rail mounting

MODCOM Software

MODCOM configuration software for MCU, quick and easy configuration of individual system parameters and components. The MODCOM requires the MXI-USB or MXI-RS232 interface, for communication between PC and the MCU.
