Programmable controller, 15 relays
Type MCX152V
Electronic controller suitable for all HVAC/R software application needs.
MCX152V is a standard MCX electronic
controller that stands on the top of MCX range
thanks to its large number of input and output
and two integrated electronic expansion valves
drivers. It is available in the version with or
without graphic LCD display, and 110 / 230 V
AC or 24 V AC power supply.
It holds all the typical functionalities of MCX
controllers:
• programmability
• connection to the CANbus local network
• up to two Modbus RS485 serial
communication interfaces
The memory card assures SW and bios
download; the ethernet port allows the
monitoring with the web pages, the SW and
bios download, the data logging and the
warning for the alarms.
Features:
• 14 analog and 18 digital inputs
• 6 analog and 15 digital outputs
• Power supply 24 V AC and 110 V / 230 V AC
• Up to two drives bipolar and unipolar
electronic expansion valves
• SD / MMC card slot for easy software upload
and datalogging
• Remote access to data through CANbus
connection for additional display and
keyboard
• RTC clock for managing weekly time
programs and data logging information
• Ethernet / WebServer option
• Two Modbus RS485 opto-insulated serial
interface
• Available with graphic LCD display and
without display for showing the desired
information
• Dimensions 16 DIN modules
