Franklin CGBC-350-HWD CELLGUARD Base Coordinator Unit
The Franklin Electric Energy Systems CGBC-350-HWD Base Coordinator Unit (BCU) serves as the central management hub for the CELLGUARD™ Wired Battery Monitoring System (BMS). Engineered for mission-critical DC power plants—including UPS, data centers, rail/subway networks, airports, telecommunications, and fire/safety systems—this unit provides continuous 24/7 monitoring and performance analysis for 2V, 6V, and 12V batteries.
Featuring hard-wired battery sensors, the CGBC-350-HWD ensures uninterrupted, highly reliable communication, making it highly effective in applications with significant electromagnetic noise. Setup and management are streamlined via the integrated CONVERGE™ web interface, enabling users to set and modify measurement and alarm thresholds locally or remotely. Real-time system data is delivered through the web-based UNITE™ data management software, with battery discharge events recorded automatically.
