The GE Galaxy Millennium® SC Controller, a
standalone version of our flagship Galaxy
Millennium® II controller is designed to
address the needs of the most modern
DC energy systems as well as legacy ferro
and SCR rectifiers. Building on the Galaxy
Millennium platform, the Millennium SC
(MSC) controller delivers state-of-the art
visibility by combining sophisticated control,
monitoring, and remote network access in
a single integrated unit. The controller has
been designed to simplify DC plant operations
and maintenance routines as well as optimize
provisioning and expansion.
The MSC can be configured locally by
using the menu-base front panel display,
the local terminal using EasyView2, or the
RS485 connection port utilizing the onboard
web pages and a standard web browser.
Remotely, the MSC can be configured via
Modem connection using EasyView2 or
a network connection utilizing standard
web browsers or SNMP/TL1 management
protocols. In addition to its standard

integrated monitoring capabilities, this controller
offers extensive external monitoring using
bay interface cards (BICs), distribution control
cards, and remote peripheral monitoring
modules (RPMs) designed for various inputs and
transducers. Additional external relay contacts
are also available. Ferro rectifier control cards
(BJC1_MSC and BJC2_MSC) are available to
interface with a wide range of manufacturers’
legacy ferro rectifiers.
The MSC, with integrated network access,
allows for advanced network supervision
using standard network management
protocols and available network management
software. The GE Galaxy Manager™
software can be used to meet power system
engineering, operations and maintenance
needs. Via TCP/IP, users gain access to live
data and information logged into Galaxy
Manager’s centralized server from each
monitored system controller across the
power network.

Total Efficiency
The GE Total Efficiency™ (TE) architecture
reduces energy loss and lowers cooling
costs by 50-70%. TE products will prioritize
sustainable energy sources like solar, wind,
water and fuel cells over traditional utility grid
or diesel generator sources – and they will
intelligently respond to smart grid information
to reduce consumption during peak demand
periods. Active Rectifier Management (ARM)
and Battery Charging Optimization (BCO)
features increase efficiency on current and
legacy power infrastructures. The Total
Efficiency architecture addresses issues endto-end based on our proven experience and
expertise in batteries, power distribution, DC
energy systems, AC-DC power supplies, and
DC-DC board mounted power to deliver a
solution that is more safe, reliable and energy
efficient than competitive alternatives.
