ROGER MC16-BAC-8 Building Automation Controller



MC16-BAC is a controller designed to implement building automation functions within the RACS 5 system. In this controller, building automation functions are implemented via so-called automation nodes. An automation node is a logical state in the controller's memory, which, on the one hand, can be controlled by the user, and, on the other hand, can itself control another state of the controller, in particular, the state of another automation node. The state of an automation node can be replicated on output lines and thus be used to control systems or devices used in a building (roller shutters, lighting, air conditioning, heating, ventilation and others). The status of the automation node can be controlled manually (function key, remote command, logging on the reader, button connected to the input line) or automatically from the level of time schedules. If the so-called RACS 5 System Integration Server is used, it is possible to control automation nodes and read their status from the level of an external application (e.g. BMS). As in the RACS 5 system access controllers, the input and output lines in the MC16-BAC controller are multifunctional and the control of output lines can be done using priority and modulation. Depending on the version, the controller can support up to 64 automation nodes. As with other MC16 series controllers, communication with the VISO management application is encrypted and takes place via LAN/WAN. Support for the MC16-BAC controller is available in the free version of the VISO ST management software and is not limited in the number of supported controllers in the system.
