Base Control Module Basic Overview
The Base Control Module is the controller of the C445
system, providing the various monitoring, protection and
control algorithms. Equipped with native I/O connections,
communication card options and USB connectivity, the Base
Control Module provides users with real-time data on the
health and status of their applications. Various pre-configured
operation modes are available that simplify the wiring and
logic requirements for the user.
