Data Sheet
Programmable controller, 15 and 20 relays
Type MCX15B2 and MCX20B2
Electronic controller suitable for all HVAC/R software application needs.
MCX15B2 and MCX20B2 is an electronic controller that stands on the top of the MCX range, thanks to the large number of its inputs and outputs, the enhanced CPU capabilities and connectivity features.
It holds all the typical functionalities of MCX controllers:
• programmability
• connection to the CANbus local network
• up to two Modbus RS485 serial interfaces with galvanic isolation
Furthermore, it is •tted with an ultra wide range (24/110/230 V AC) power supply in the same product variant, with USB and Ethernet connection for embedded Web server and IP protocols management. It is available in several models, with or without graphic LCD display and with 15 or 20 digital output.
