WindowMaster had developed a range of motor controllers that interface between the intelligent WindowMaster actuators and the BMS systems through open bus standards such as KNX, LON, BACnet and Modbus.
MotorLink™ technology enables a versatile range of functionality in order to fulfill requirements of modern facade design.
In control solutions utilising MotorLink technology there is digital data communication to every single window actuator.
The unique features and functions in the MotorLink technology are:
Position Control and Feedback
The advanced control solutions can provide millimetre-by-millimetre control of actuators. Data communication between the actuators and the MotorControllers enables the actuators to report back their precise opening/closing position. This enables the BMS system to know the exact position of the vents at all times.
The registration of the exact position of the windows enables the BMS system to accurately position the windows to ensure that they are open to the same amount which maintains the external appearance of the facade. This also prevents the BMS system having to close the windows at numerous times during the day in order to reset their position to the fully closed position, preventing so called “hunting” of actuators is also a benefit of this feature.
Three Speed Operation
MotorLink enables different opening/closing speeds to be used, dependent upon the digital command received. For instance, a slow and soundless speed when in automatic mode and a faster more audible speed when activated by the manual keypads in order to provide an immediate visual response to the user.
Genuine Synchronisation
MotorLink actuators can run fully synchronised-without an external synchronisation module. Real-time synchronisation is the best guarantee that the window is not damaged by actuators running at different speeds.
Reversing Function
WindowMaster actuators include an integrated reversing function which enables the pressure on the window gaskets to be released by a few millimeters after the windows have been closed to prolong the life span of the gaskets and air-tightness of the window.
Pressure Safety Function
Window actuators can be programmed to stop and reverse if they encounter obstacles when closing. In addition, other external systems can be linked to the actuators (motion sensors or safety edges). This safety function reduces the risk of entrapment.
Fault Indication
Feedback from every window actuator can provide an early indication of any potential faults, making it easy for caretakers or facilities managers to locate any fault in the system.
Online Parameter Set Up
Online parameter set up is a standard feature in all MotorLink solutions. This can be done from a maintenance terminal in the building, or remotely via the internet or modem. Initial set-up and future adjustments to the speed and forces of the actuators is quickly and easily achieved, and reduces the hours needed for commissioning the system.
