OEMCtrl I/O Zone Heat Pump Controllers

OEMCtrl Digital Controller

OEMCtrl’s I/O Zone 560 and 583 controllers supply robust control and communications features in a compact, economical package. Easily adaptable and straightforward programming tools make it possible to customize for different small equipment applications. OEMCtrl’s I/O Zone controllers are able to operate in 100% stand-alone control mode, allowing for connection to a Building Automation System (BAS) using today’s most popular protocols, like BACnet, Modbus, N2, and LonWorks. The I/O Zone 560 and 583 also maintain communication to OEMCtrl’s smart space sensors and keypad/display units.

Key Features and Benefits

I/O point count: 5 digital outputs (relayed), 6 universal inputs, (583 adds 2 potentiometer inputs and 3 analog outputs)

Built-in protocol support: BACnet (ARC156 and MS/TP), Modbus RTU, and N2. Protocols and baud rates are DIP switch selectable
Local laptop computer access ports provided on both the I/O Zone 560 and the intelligent RS series sensors, which enable full diagnostic and configuration capabilities
On-board battery-backed real-time clock is standard, thus enabling full stand-alone scheduling capabilities, as well as historical trend data storage, and alarm event time-stamping
Custom-programmable using our powerful Eikon graphic programming tool. Eikon allows you to create graphic logic sequences for your application, which can be fully simulated off-line (with Eikon’s simulation tool), and graphically viewable live on your equipment – the ultimate diagnostic tool
Powerful, high-speed 16-bit processor with 1MB Flash memory and 512 KB of battery-backed RAM – plenty of room for even demanding and complex applications. Software modifications or upgrades can be downloaded locally or remotely – no chip replacements necessary
LonWorks optional plug-in communications boards

Applications

When paired with Enertech’s Compact Packaged or Water-to-Water water source and geothermal heat pumps, the I/O Zone family of controllers provides a lot of power in a small package. Regardless of the application size, you can have customized control sequences with built-in multi-protocol support; simplified integration into the BAS (Building Automation System), while staying competitive from a cost standpoint.
