What is the PXShunt500 used for?

The PXShunt500 is used for monitoring high current loads in BMPRO power management systems, providing accurate measurements of battery properties like voltage, current, energy usage, and temperature.

The PXShunt500 is made up of two components: the XShunt500, and the PXGateway.

The XShunt500 monitors battery properties such as voltage, charging/discharging current, energy usage and temperature. This information is sent to the PXGateway using the integrated communication cable.

The PXGateway receives the battery data from the XShunt500 via a wired connection. It completes calculations using this data and sends it to the BMPRO power management system via a CAN communication bus.
The PXGateway has an additional CAN bus socket that can be used to connect to a BMPRO battery monitor, such as the BMPRO Odyssey or Trek3.
