Power Modular Equipment Controller
Figure 1. Power Modular Equipment Controller.
Description
The Power Modular Equipment Controller family of
field panel and point expansion products is an integral
part of the APOGEE® Automation System. They are
high performance, modular Direct Digital Control
(DDC) supervisory equipment controllers. They
operate stand-alone or networked to perform complex
control, monitoring and energy management functions
without relying on a higher-level processor. Power
MECs communicate with other field panels or
workstations on a peer-to-peer Automation Level
Network (ALN) or with an optional remote connection
to a central console. The ALN may either be P2 or
optional TCP/IP protocol. The Power MEC can
optionally provide central monitoring and control for
distributed Field Level Network (FLN) devices. The
FLN may either be P1 or LonTalk® protocol.
Features
Several levels of controllers to match application
requirements
Remote mounted external analog and digital point
expansion modules for added point expansion
which may be independently operated as FLN
devices or directly controlled on an optional point
expansion bus
Proven program sequences to match equipment
control applications
Sophisticated Adaptive Control, a closed loop
control algorithm that auto-adjusts to compensate
for load/seasonal changes
Built-in energy management applications and
DDC programs for complete facility management
Comprehensive alarm management, historical
data trend collection, operator control and
monitoring functions
Message control for terminals, printers, pagers
and workstations
Option with Hands Off Auto (HOA) switches
Option for compatibility with LonWorks® networks
Option for peer-to-peer communications over
industry standard 10/100 Base-T TCP/IP
networks.
