BATTERY MANAGMENT SYSTEMS
SBS STATIONARY
Purpose-built 1500V BMS controller for utility-scale energy storage. Ethernet connectivity, parallel string support, and always-on operation for grid-grade battery management.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
DESIGNED FOR THE GRID
The SBS Stationary is designed from the ground up for 1500V BESS with parallel string support, always-on duty cycles, and grid-grade communication.
HV-based voltage measurement for multi-string isolation and Ethernet connectivity for modern energy management systems.
SBS STATIONARY INTEGRATION ADVANTAGES

FULL-STACK READY
Interoperable with ME's Layer-3 Container Controller and Battery-in-the-Cloud analytics platform.
PRODUCT FLYER
SOFTWARE & PLATFORM
BARCELONA PLATFORM
The SBS Stationary is the grid-optimized member of ME's 3rd-generation Barcelona BMS platform, sharing a common architecture and software stack with SBS Core, SBS High, and BMDU. All SBS controllers support multistring configurations.
All four Barcelona variants run the identical SBS Software Platform. One software image supports every variant, switchable at runtime via the Configuration Framework. This means SBS Core benefits from the same validated, ASIL D-capable hardware on a stationary route.
Compatible with CMBXX cell monitoring board family, supporting arrays of over 500 cells per controller over 1500V-isolated isoSPI.
ONE CODEBASE, ALL VARIANTS
Same source tree builds SBS Core, SBS High, BMDU, and SBS Stationary. The Configuration Framework switches behavior at runtime.
STATIONARY-GRADE CERTIFICATIONS
Functional safety certified with ISO 13849-1 Category 2, PL d, with UL 1973 and UL 9540 compliance designed in. UL 5500:2023 certified for secure remote software updates and EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance prepared.
BARCELONA PLATFORM FAMILY
SBS CORE
Compact controller, side connectors, external shunt
SBS HIGH
Full-featured controller, integrated shunt, 7 contactor drivers
BMDU

APPLICATIONS
BUILD FOR ENERGY STORAGE
UTILITY-SCALE BESS
Front-of-meter installations for grid stability, frequency regulation, and renewable integration. On-device SoX algorithms and Battery-in-the-Cloud analytics extend pack lifetime across decade-long grid duty cycles.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL STORAGE
Behind-the-meter for peak shaving, demand response, backup power. Ethernet integrates directly with building/energy management systems.
