This system is used to monitoring and control up to 64 motorized fire dampers and is compatible with all standard 24V actuators. The system consists of communication and from a central control unit that communicates with individual communication modules via powerline technology. That means communication through 230 VAC power cable, there is no need for any additional cable for data. The entire system operates on the Master & Slave principle, where the communications modules (Slaves) have a MAC address automatically set, the superior central control unit (Master) automatically detects individual modules and no further adjustments are required.
Powerline communication technology basically allows you to select any topology of a wiring, such as a star, line, bus or tree. For all topologies, however, the same limitation applies, and that the maximum distance from the master to the farthest communication module is 1200m.
