CONTROLLER

SPECIFICATION DATA

FEATURES
• Various state-of-the-art communication options: Open
LONW ORKS® bus or C-bus communication; modem or
ISDN terminal adapter at up to 38.4 Kbaud; wireless com-
munication via GSM; dial-up through TCP/IP networks
• Unique features in open LONWORKS® networks: NV-
Booster® reduces the number of required NVs and thus
also the number of required controllers; NV bindings can
be restored after controller reset (and thus need not be
redone after exchanging controllers); 46 NVs supported
for LONW ORKS integration
• Reduced engineering and start-up costs: Huge variety
of pre-tested and fully documented applications, con-
figured with the PC-based Lizard application selector
• Easy and flexible installation: Flat strip cabling or screw
terminals; mounting inside cabinet (DIN rail) or in cabinet
front door
• Hardware / software options: Available with or without:
XI582AH operator interface; XI584 operator and service
software; MMI (for buswide access to other controllers)
