Orion 02 BMS — Expandable (BXL) Kit
Primary controller for expandable, split-pack architectures. The BXL orchestrates one or more REM nodes over CAN for large, distributed, or isolated battery systems.
- Works only with REM
- Split / distributed packs
- High-voltage isolation
- CAN-synchronized
Current lead time: 4–8 days ARO
What the BXL does
The Orion 02 BXL is the primary Orion controller in an expandable ecosystem. It coordinates system-level logic—charge/discharge limits (CCL/DCL), contactor control, fault handling, and telemetry—while Remote (REM) controllers provide localized cell supervision at distributed packs. This architecture shortens HV cable runs, improves packaging, and enables isolation between segments.
Expandable vs. Standard
Choose BXL + REM when…
- You need split or distributed packs across the platform.
- Safety or compliance requires HV isolation between sections.
- Reducing harness length improves weight, resistance, or EMI.
- Modularity and serviceable sub-assemblies are priorities.
Choose Standard when…
- A single centralized controller can service the whole pack.
- There’s no need for split packs or remote nodes.
- Space and harnessing allow one mounting location.
Dependency: The BXL requires at least one REM. It is not compatible with the Orion 02 Standard controller.

Core capabilities
System orchestration
Computes SOC/SOH, enforces CCL/DCL, drives contactors, and aggregates telemetry across REM nodes.
Safety & isolation
Supports split-pack topologies with isolation between HV segments and clean fault containment.
Automotive-grade I/O
High EMI immunity, locking connectors, programmable dual CAN 2.0B, and robust diagnostics.
Applications
EV / Mobility
Distributed energy storage across chassis (front/rear, L/R modules) with synchronized limits and contactor logic.
Energy Storage
Cabinet, rack, and container systems where isolated strings operate as one managed battery.
Aerospace / UAV
Multi-bay packs with strict weight/balance and isolation requirements.
Marine / Industrial
Compartmentalized banks requiring short HV runs and serviceable modules.
Popular Orion accessories
- SOC Display w/ Data Logging — CAN-based logging (100 ms to 10 s) to removable media.
- Cell Wiring Validator — Verifies tap harness integrity prior to connection.
- Thermistor Expansion Module — Add up to 80 thermistors per module; stack up to 10.
- Orion BMS Connect — Web-based remote monitoring, charts, events, and diagnostics.

FAQs
Can the BXL operate without a REM?
No. The BXL is the primary controller and requires one or more REM nodes.
What’s the advantage over the Standard controller?
BXL + REM enables split/distributed packs with isolation and shorter HV runs. Standard is centralized (single location).
Is the BXL compatible with Orion 02 Standard?
No. BXL is part of the Expandable ecosystem and pairs with REM—not the Standard controller.
What’s included in the BXL kit?
BXL controller, main I/O harness, cell tap harnesses, CANdapter, current sensor harness with (8) thermistors, and a current sensor.
