Tyco and Midtronics Join on Monitoring System

Tyco Electronics Power Systems Inc. and Midtronics Inc. have an agreement that includes licensing Midtronics’ patented battery conductance monitoring technology and developing a telecom battery monitoring to ensure network integrity. The system will be integrated into Tyco’s GALAXY power monitoring system.

Users will be able to view conductance values on-demand or in user-defined intervals via Internet, a cost-effective solution for customers in new and retrofit applications. Because it uses the existing GALAXY DC Power System internal communication bus, the need for a stand-alone hardware platform to collect and process conductance from multiple battery strings is eliminated.
