Andover Controls Continuum NetController CPU Module

cid 215 NTINUUM CPU Module Continuum NetController is the high powered Central Processing Unit CPU module and manager for the Andover Controls Continuum intelligent building system With its 8 DRAM 4 Mb flash EPROM math co processor and four programmable communications including an interface to Infinity Infinet distributed controllers the Continuum provides a total solution for facility wide network communications and management A lower cost version of the NetController is also available with DRAM 2 Mb flash EPROM and no math co processor COMMUNICA COMMUNICA COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNICA COMMUNICA NetController acts as the system coordinator providing integrated global control and monitoring history and local and remote alarming for both the Continuum I O modules and the RS 485 Infinet controllers control your individual building services ventilating air conditioning lighting access control control and more The NetController communicates with the Continuum I O modules via LON and a choice of RS 485 or free topology bus media optional Ethernet port also allows the NetController to communicate with other NetControllers and Continuum over a high speed 10Mb Ethernet Local Area Network LAN using the TCP IP protocol Continuum are capable of communicating with up to 4 millions nodes on Ethernet Two different Ethernet are available can choose either a 10BASE 2 thin coax 10BASE T twisted pair cable media flash EPROM allows you to download software revisions over Ethernet using a Continuum This flash memory feature eliminates the need to perform EPROM change outs in the field COMMUNICA COMMUNICA COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNICA COMMUNICA four programmable communications ports can be configured as either an RS 232 or an RS 485 to modems printers third party devices and up to two Infinity Infinet field controller networks Controls has developed an extensive library of third party software interfaces including controls for panels fire alarm systems emergency generator systems bar code readers elevator controls switchers and more ENGLISH ENGLISH PROGRAMMING PROGRAMMING ENGLISH PROGRAMMING PROGRAMMING ENGLISH ENGLISH PROGRAMMING Continuum NetController can be

Continuum NetController incorporates software programmable battery backup that reduces or eliminates the of power failure In powerfail mode the NetController CPU can turn off I O power to extend battery life and modem and network operation for up to four hours In addition NetController can go into a low power in which only the DRAM and real time clock are powered for up to 72 hours DESIGN FOR SLIDE TOGETHER CONNECTION DESIGN FOR SLIDE TOGETHER CONNECTION DESIGN FOR SLIDE TOGETHER CONNECTION DESIGN FOR SLIDE TOGETHER CONNECTION DESIGN FOR SLIDE TOGETHER CONNECTION features a sleek lightweight casing designed for natural convection cooling Built in connectors on side of the NetController module allow power transmission from the power supply module and communica signals to the Continuum I O modules to feed through easy slide together connections Built in quick release at the back of the module are provided for DIN rail mounting tools required These fasteners also snap into locked position for panel mounting The NetController module is designed for mounting in an optional NEMA 1 sytle enclosure See the Continuum Enclosure and Display Module System data sheet I M E N S I
