2 Introduction
2.1 Scope of the Manual
This manual explains the installation and interconnection of Alpha Technologies Cordex™ High Perfor-
mance System Controller (CXC HP) and related ADIO peripherals. Rack and DIN rail mounting options
are also covered.
2.2 Overview
The CXC HP is an advanced system controller designed for operation with basic or complex power
systems. Although developed primarily to optimize the features of the Cordex series of power products,
the CXC HP may also be used for advanced site monitoring and automation.
The CXC HP controller uses external analog and digital I/O peripherals to enable a wide variety of moni-
toring applications. The Large Analog Digital Input Output (L-ADIO) is a low voltage system peripheral
that provides eight digital inputs, 12 analog inputs, and 12 Form C relays. Additional I/O peripherals may
be included with the system and can be easily field upgraded in future. The High Voltage Analog Digital
Input Output (HV-ADIO) consists of four digital inputs, seven analog inputs and six Form C relays. The
6I-ADIO includes six current (shunt) inputs.
The CXC HP allows the user to configure, monitor and control an entire energy system from a local color
touch screen display. The controller includes dual Ethernet and USB ports to provide multiple commu-
nication access points with a variety of benefits such as remote communications, local web UI access,
and file management.
NOTE: Separate documentation is provided in the software documentation that details the CXC HP soft-
ware features.
