E2 BX-50 Controller Released
New controller joins the E2 platform, lowering retailer's operating costs
Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), today introduced its BX-50 extension of the industry leading E2 platform of retail facility management systems. Developed by Emerson’s Retail Solutions division, the BX-50 is a packaged building control system designed to offer retailers with smaller facilities (less than 25,000 sq ft) a pre-packaged, easy to install system that reduces energy, maintenance, and operational costs through more effective control of HVAC and lighting systems.
The BX-50 automatically maintains a store’s indoor comfort level and lighting schedule. Both new and retrofit installations are quick and easy, while remaining low cost, due to the compact packaging of the controller. Setup and programming time is also minimized since all systems arrive at the retailer’s site programmed with pre-defined HVAC setpoints, lighting schedules, and operational hours. A considerable advancement from programmable thermostats, the BX-50’s enclosure contains input/output boards and supporting components for integrated control of up to 6 HVAC units and 8 lighting circuits.

Further differentiating it from conventional thermostats, the BX-50 is easily connected to an Ethernet network, allowing service providers and facility managers to securely access a store remotely from any internet browser. This enables authorized personnel to easily adjust setpoints, identify system issues, and even avoid service calls.
“The BX-50 is the latest Emerson innovation dedicated to helping leading retailers reduce their operational costs and maintain customer comfort, while addressing organizational concerns regarding sustainability,” said Bill Coulombe, president of Emerson Climate Technologies Retail Solutions. “When combined with the capabilities of the ProAct® Service Center, Emerson delivers retail operators an unmatched suite of products and services that lower both energy and maintenance costs.”
Other models of the E2 platform of facility management systems are specifically designed to control supermarkets, convenience stores, and large box retail facilities. For more information on Emerson Retail Solutions or the E2 BX-50, click here.
