Pixii PowerShaper XL 60/225

Compatibility

External monitoring and control require Pixii confirmation

Pixii publishes exact product specifications and names Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, Ethernet and RS-485. The retained public records do not expose the firmware-matched third-party point map, interface roles, writable semantics or fail-safe behavior needed for an Edge path.

Exact PowerShaper XL 60 kW / 225 kWh fan-filter LFP variant only. Record the complete order identity, battery block, PixiiBox, Pixii Gateway and firmware versions. Do not infer a path for air-conditioned, indoor, cabinet-only, PowerBase or XLP variants.

Models

Specifications

The current exact-variant page specifies 60 kW continuous AC power, 225.1 kWh installed and 202.6 kWh usable LFP capacity, with 18 PixiiBoxes and 14 battery blocks in an outdoor IP55 cabinet. Published values are nominal and may be constrained by state of charge, state of health and thermal conditions.¹

AC rating

60 kW continuous, 60 kVA apparent, 400 V three-phase with neutral¹

Battery capacity

225.1 kWh installed and 202.6 kWh usable; LFP chemistry¹

Battery architecture

14 battery blocks, 16.08 kWh each; 18 PixiiBoxes; nominal DC around 48 V¹

Published interfaces

Ethernet LAN, RS-485, digital I/O, Wi-Fi access point and optional 4G¹

Published protocols

CAN bus and Modbus TCP/RTU are described as internal; MQTT is described as external¹

Enclosure

Outdoor IP55 cabinet; -20 to +45 °C operating range; fan and heater thermal management¹

Grid and generator scope

On-grid operation, off-grid support requiring a separate controller and local load-priority modification, plus published generator-backup support¹

Interface

Documented measurements and integration boundaries for PowerShaper XL 60/225.

• Potential system identity, availability, alarms, operating mode and communications state require the exact approved third-party map.
• Potential AC power, import and export energy, state of charge, state of health and available charge or discharge power must retain source, sign, unit, freshness and quality.
• Battery-block, PixiiBox, cabinet and site-meter values are different measurement boundaries and must not be merged under one generic BESS point.
• No charge, discharge, power-factor, islanding, generator or market command is approved by this guide.

Setup

1. Confirm the exact system

   Capture the full PowerShaper XL variant, order identity, serials, Pixii Gateway version, PixiiBox versions, battery-block identity, firmware and installed communications options.

2. Draw every control layer

   Separate the site meter, switchgear, Pixii Gateway, PixiiBoxes, battery blocks, fire and thermal systems, generator controller and any higher-level EMS or market platform.

3. Obtain the supported interface contract

   Request the exact firmware-matched external monitoring document from Pixii. Confirm which endpoint is a server, authentication, addressing, point types, units, sign conventions, quality states, update rates and client limits.

4. Keep control out of the first phase

   Commission identity, state, power, energy and alarm reads before considering writes. Do not use a published protocol label as authority to charge, discharge, island, synchronise or operate a generator.

5. Define any later command as a safety case

   For each approved command, document ownership, range, ramp, interlocks, timeout, local override, rejection feedback, safe fallback and measured response at the connection point.

Common questions

Does the PowerShaper XL publish Modbus?

Yes. The current product record names Modbus TCP/RTU and RS-485/Ethernet interfaces. It labels Modbus among internal protocols and does not publish the exact third-party point and access contract required for an Edge route.¹

Can Edge command charge and discharge from this guide?

No. A control path needs the exact writable object, units, limits, ramp, interlocks, timeout, feedback and safe fallback approved by Pixii and the site owner. This selection guide publishes none.^1, 2

Is the usable capacity 225.1 kWh?

No. Pixii lists 225.1 kWh installed and 202.6 kWh usable for this exact variant. Actual performance may also be constrained by state of charge, state of health and thermal conditions.¹

Does off-grid support mean the cabinet can form an island by itself?

No. The exact product page states that single-cabinet off-grid operation requires an off-grid control system and local modification for load prioritisation. Project-specific switching, protection, earthing and generator coordination remain separate.¹
