It has ethernet and MODBUS RS-485 built in. With BSE IPN controllers you can have up to 240 amps charge current, full remote programing for controllers and monitor the PV solar arrays and battery bank. 128 days of data logging and more.</div><div><br></div><div>One valuable feature of the BSE controllers with the IPN Pro is the ability to end charging based on <i>net battery current</i>. It will stay at the absorb voltage for only as long as necessary which means never overcharging BUT can stay in absorb all day if necessary. I don't think any others controllers do this. If you're not familiar with Blue Sky Energy, we have sold many hundreds of their controllers and I highly recommend them. <div><br></div><div>Check out <a href="http://www.blueskyenergyinc.com/products/details/ucm">http://www.blueskyenergyinc.com/products/details/ucm</a><br><div><br></div><div>Larry<br>
