Cerbo GX and Ekrano GX — system controllers and EMS
Country: Netherlands · Model: Cerbo GX / Ekrano GX
The Cerbo GX and Ekrano GX system controllers tie inverters, solar charge controllers and batteries into one managed system, and the Ekrano GX adds a built-in 7″ touchscreen in an aluminum enclosure. The controller acts as the EMS for ESS mode and sends data to the VRM portal. It goes into backup power plants, hybrid PV systems and onboard vessel networks.

Description
The controller monitors every unit and holds the operating mode settings. Inverter/chargers such as the MultiPlus and Quattro connect over VE.Bus. Solar charge controllers, battery monitors and BMS units connect over VE.Can and VE.Direct. Over Wi-Fi the data reaches the VRM portal for remote viewing and setup changes. In ESS mode the controller decides when the inverter charges the battery, when it feeds the load from the battery and how much power is drawn from the grid. On boats the controller joins the NMEA 2000 network and shows data on multifunction displays (MFD). The Cerbo GX has no screen of its own and lives inside a cabinet, so the Ekrano GX is chosen when a panel is needed on the cabinet door or at the helm.
How to choose
The choice between the two models comes down to the screen. The Cerbo GX suits a cabinet that is checked through VRM or a phone, while the Ekrano GX with its touchscreen is taken when staff read the values on the spot. Before ordering, list the devices on each link, because inverter/chargers use VE.Bus and the MPPT RS and larger SmartSolar units use VE.Can. For a grid-connected ESS the inverter itself must hold the grid certificates, for example the Quattro with EN 50549-1 and G99-1, as the GX unit only controls it.

FAQ
What screen does the Ekrano GX have?
A built-in 7″ touchscreen in an aluminum enclosure. The Cerbo GX has no screen of its own.
Which interfaces does the Cerbo GX have?
VE.Bus, VE.Can, VE.Direct, Wi-Fi, NMEA 2000 and an MFD link.
Can a system be monitored remotely through the Cerbo GX?
Yes, the controller sends data to the VRM portal over Wi-Fi and manages ESS mode.
What does the GX controller do in ESS mode?
It acts as the EMS and decides when the battery charges, when it discharges into the load and how much power comes from the grid.
