Description / Application

The Controller Rack Unit BC-440 serves as a connection unit for

the detection loop, alarm sounders, controls and inputs. It is a

variant of the BC-420 Controller prepared for rack installations.

Together with the IO modules the unit will have the full

functionality of the BC-420 Controller.

The Controller is equipped with 2 Ethernet ports, one

AutroFieldBus port and one serial port. The Controller

communicates with other system units using the Ethernet

based local area network, AutroNet and external equipment

using AutroCom and Modbus.

The serial port may be set to RS-232/422 or 485 and can

communicate with external equipment using AutroCom,

Modbus, NMEA and ESPA 4.4.4.
