Intelligent control at the core of every PowerNode


The Pixii Controller is the central control unit for the PowerNode family. It manages, monitors, and coordinates all components in the system – ensuring secure and efficient operation both on-site and in connection with external equipment.

Control and EMS ready

The Pixii Controller provides advanced local control, monitoring, and data collection for your PowerNode system. For customers who require full energy management, forecasting, and multi-site coordination, the same hardware can be enabled with Pixii’s Energy Architect EMS software.

Ensures secure, efficient operation of every component – from local management to full multi-site energy optimization

Engineered for reliability in any
environment – from –30 °C to +70 °C

Built for demanding environments

Designed for industrial use, the Pixii Controller delivers reliable performance from –30 °C to +70 °C and meets IEC 60255 and UL 6200 standards. Built-in security features, such as secure boot and signed software updates, ensure safe and stable operation throughout the product lifecycle.

Seamless communication

Supporting standard industry protocols including Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA, CAN bus, and EtherCAT, the Pixii Controller connects effortlessly with sensors, meters, inverters, and third-party management systems. Configuration and monitoring can be performed through a browser-based interface or local display.
