Standard Motor Controllers from ESI |
||||
The best possible motor controls for standard, limit switch motors are from ESI. ESI components provide complete control of virtually any motorized product from nearly any type of input device. The integrated intelligence of each product is the core of their control network. ESI motor controls provide simple and scalable integration into automation systems. They can be operated via a host of input methods: contact closures, IR signals, RS-232 and RS-422 serial commands, as well as from their own line of sensors and input devices. ESI also produces a line of motor controls that are part of the popular Z-Wave™ platform. |

RQ Motor Controllers |
||||
ESI’s RQ series of motor controllers allow you flexible control through contact closure, IR, RF, RS-232/422, and even IP through iRule. Motor control isn’t limited to just window treatments, either. ESI’s RQ60A series are rated to handle up to 9.8A to give you control of motorized projection screens, television lifts, skylights, awnings, and even motorized pool covers. Better yet, for installations which require the control of multiple motors, ESI will mount, pre-wire, pre-program, and label the interface boards within an enclosure based on your specifications. Because of the materials and processes used these enclosures are UL listed for window treatment control, making them a perfect solution for commercial installations. |

ESI RF Motor Control |
||||
The ESI RF transceiver-based technology is a game changer for intelligent motor controls and is found only in ESI products. Established on the 802.15.4 network protocol, ESI RF has created an communication platform unparalleled by any of its competitors in this market space. By building on mesh network technology, ESI has played a major role in creating the most enhanced user experience in the intelligent control of window shading devices to date. The primary components of the ESI RF product line are the RF-embedded M40 & M50 RF Motors, and can be added to an RQ network with the addition of the ESI RF RQ Transceiver. Using mesh network transceiver technology, each motor is capable of bi-directional communication with feedback. With unparalleled range and the ability of the motors to “pass along” commands, the ESI RF network becomes more robust as you add motors. This mesh networking platform eliminates the shortcomings of traditional RF technology and complies with FCC regulations. Complementing the RF Motors is the SUITE Remote. With its modern yet simple design, the SUITE Remote offers reliable wireless control of all ESI RF-enabled motors. Through the mesh network-enabled 2-way communication, SUITE Remote is capable of providing full setup for the installation, status reports and visual feedback. Signal repeatability ensures strong radio transmissions resulting in reliable operation of all motors in the network. Adding ESI RF motor control to an automation controller has been made simple with the introduction of the ESI RF Bridge. The RF Bridge allows any controller capable of communicating RS-232 to control and monitor ESI RF motors using ESI's simple and flexible RQ command protocol. The ESI RF Bridge features a small form factor, a multi-state LED to show communication status, and it functions as a repeater within an ESI RF network. The ESI RF Bridge communicates to up to 255 individual ESI RF devices (RF motors, SUITE remote, and the RF Switch Interface) and also to RQ devices (RQ motors/RQ motor controls) that use the ESI RF RQ Transceiver interface. |

Plug and Play Z-Wave Motor Controllers |
||||
ESI’s Z-Wave motor controllers are packaged in a “Plug & Play” box and provide you with complete control of standard limit switch AC or DC motors. Z-Wave radio allows for bi-directional RF communications with other Z-Wave products. Once the controller learns the limits of the motor, you can remotely set it to any level of openness between 0 and 100 percent. By utilizing the Z-Wave standard, ESI’s Z-Wave motor controllers are guaranteed interoperability between systems and devices from other Z-Wave enabled products. ESI’s ABMHZ or DBMZ learn into your Z-Wave network as dimmers, which gives you tremendous flexibility with controlling your window treatments. |
