Features  

• Reduced total installed cost: 

Existing standard Ether net/LAN infrastructure is used for communication between MVC NX controllers, 3rd-party BACnet® controllers, and BACnet® front-ends. Costs are further reduced by the flexible and optional use of Panel Bus I/Os (which allow manual override independent of the controller, thus obviating the need for external switches) and of onboard I/Os. 

Panel Bus I/Os allow for wiring lengths of up to 800 m, thus obviating the need to lay wire from field devices all the way back to the controller. 

• Reduced life cycle cost: 

MVC NX supports the highly reliable CentraLine Panel Bus I/O modules, which allow for plugging and replacing without any need for re-wiring or engineering, thus minimizing system down-time. The Panel Bus is polarity-insensitive, thus reducing potential wiring errors. Furthermore, Panel Bus I/O modules allow the predefinition of output safety positions, ensuring safe operation even if communication with MVC NX is disrupted.  

• Universal operation: 

Via Internet browser, MVC NX can be operated from any place, from any PC and/or mobile device connected to the (MVC NX) network! (Optionally, via the onboard or detached HMI, the controller can be operated independently of any network connection.) 

• Vendor independence: 

Multiple international communi cation standards are supported, e.g.: BACnet/IP (ISO 16484-5); BACnet MS/TP (ISO 16484-5); LONWORKS (ISO 14908); Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP; M-Bus (EN 1434 3); oBIX; SNMP; etc. 

• Trending:

Datapoints can be trended and historical values stored and viewed. 

• Reliable control performance: 

Embedded QNX ensures reliable, independent, and secure operation, especially for systems with Internet access. 

• Embedded e-mail alarming: 

Configurable e-mail alarming options allow alarms to be sent (via network or Internet-DSL connection) to e-mail accounts and thus also to mobile device using SMTP protocol. 

• Optional SMS alarming: 

SMS alarming via GSM modem using the optional SMS driver. 

• CentraLine application library: 

Enables highly-effective application generation for optimal energy-efficient control applications. 

• Flexible mounting options: 

Mounting onto wall or onto panel back wall, into panel door, onto panel rail, and into sub-panels (fuse boxes). 

• Direct 24 VAC power supply:

No batteries, no movable parts – thus does not require regular maintenance.
