Deka DD-T-BOX Communication HUB for Deka Duration Drop-In
Deka Duration T-BOX Battery Communication Interface
The Deka Duration T-BOX (DD-T-BOX) is a critical communication interface designed to enable seamless integration between Deka Duration battery systems and compatible inverters. It collects system summary data and manages inverter communication protocols when used with the DD-HIM-TAB or T-Monitor.
Using CAN communication, the T-BOX gathers real-time battery data including voltage, current, capacity, temperature, and system configuration. This information is then transmitted to the inverter, ensuring optimized performance, accurate monitoring, and reliable system operation.
Key Features
- Enables communication between battery systems and inverters
- Supports CAN, RS485, and LIN (CIBUS) communication protocols
- Provides MODBUS and CANBUS interface capabilities
- Collects and transmits real-time system data
- Configures inverter communication protocols
- IP65 protective rating
System Integration
The T-BOX acts as the central communication hub between the battery bank and inverter, ensuring compatibility and coordinated operation across system components. It is required when inverter communication is needed while using the DD-T-MON monitoring device.
