Summary

Matrix Example

Smart Matrix Controller M240-MX for fire safety and smoke extraction application with matrix set up. To control and monitor up to 240 motorized fire or smoke extraction dampers, 60 scenariosand up to 35 ventilators. Integration into a Building Automation System via BACnet IP; MS/TP and Modbus possible. y High flexibility: In case of alarm the M240-MX controls the dampers and ventilators in a ventilation plant via defined scenarios. Appropriate for the following applications: y Fire Protection y Smoke Extraction y Simple handling: y Project set up is done online independent from the controller y The applications are pre-programmed-no programming knowhow needed y Configuration of the matrix is simple and intuitive. It is done online (Internet) y Uploading and adaptation of the matrix can be done anytime y Open communication: y Digital via BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) y Remote/Cloud access available. Cloud access available free of charge y Integration into superior systems via BACnet IP (standard option) y Modular set-up: y System expansion by adding additional I/O cards (IOM24-MX). Depending on the project requirements y Standard options for integration into Building Automation System if required y Additional features: y Integrated real time clock allows automatic test runs with or without the activation of the ventilators y Alarm and alert messages by e-mail possible y Configuration of the matrix is done online, independently of the controller. Project adaptations possible anytime!
