Automation Engine: Controller (eBCON)

Description

The enteliBUSTM Controller (eBCON) is a fully programmable native BACnet® Building Controller. The Controller supports multiple communications methods including, as standard, BACnet/IP, BACnet® over Ethernet, BACnet MS/TP and Delta LINKnet.TM

The Controller integrates the functions of the enteliBUS Manager and the enteliBUS Expander into a single compact module. This single module contains the primary CPU, memory storage, external communication ports, and direct I/O control for up to 4 enteliBUS I/O Modules.

The Controller comes bundled with a controller Backplane that holds up to 4 I/O Modules. A connector on the Backplane allows for further I/O expansion. Up to 8 Backplanes (and associated I/O Modules) can be controlled from a single enteliBUS Controller module.

Application

The enteliBUS Control System is made up of multiple modular components that you select to meet the exact needs of a wide range of HVAC and Access control applications.

The enteliBUS Controller, with associated I/O Modules, provides a small footprint controller perfect for applications with limited mounting space. It can be used as a low density distributed controller, or expanded with additional Backplanes/ modules for high density I/O applications.
