MAC-300-STA Scheduling, Trending and Alarming for Multi-Vendor LonWorks® Networks

The Circon MAC-300-STA comes complete with multiple scheduling functional blocks that support structured, enumerated, and integer network variable types, and a battery backed real-time clock making it ideally suited for interoperable multi-vendor LonWorks networks. Combined with the scheduling capabilities, the MAC-300-STA comes with comprehensive trending and alarming functional blocks enabling facility managers to accurately monitor building conditions and decrease incident response time.

Trouble-free integration with Douglas Lighting Controls' LonWorks-based programmable lighting relay panels is achieved through the MAC-300-STA's innovative scene transmitter functional block that monitors the state of the lighting schedules and buffers the scene events using one network variable. This greatly reduces installation time by eliminating the need for multiple connections between the MAC-300-STA and Douglas WNX-2624 lighting panels.

The MAC-300-STA functional blocks are configured using Circon LNS® plug-ins that include a device viewer; data upload services are provided when used in conjunction with  Circon's Visual Integrator 3 software . With Visual Integrator and the MAC-300-STA, a complete operator workstation system for managing scheduling, trending and alarming can be created functionally integrating any LonWorks device into the facilities management system.
