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.
