FutureNow FN485-4xSH - 4-Channel DIN Rail Motor Controller for Window Coverings
FutureNow FN485-4xSH is a 4-channel intelligent DIN rail mountable motor controller designed for operating motorized blinds, shutters, awnings, projector screens, and other devices equipped with four-wire bidirectional AC motors with built-in limit switches. The module can be controlled via local inputs or through the FN485 bus, making it ideal for professional AV and building automation systems.
The FN485-4xSH allows independent control of four motors with Up, Down, and Stop commands. It features adjustable motor run timers, directional change delay for motor protection, and both mechanical and electronic interlocks to prevent simultaneous bidirectional activation. Thanks to its local inputs, the module can operate autonomously without a central controller, enabling phased installations and enhancing system reliability. It supports over 50 bus commands for scene presets, input modes, timing adjustments, and more.
Functionality:
- control via RS485 bus or local inputs
- 4 outputs for controlling four-wire (up, down, neutral, Earth) bidirectional AC motors
- 4x2 (up/down) galvanically isolated multi-purpose inputs
- direct output control via local inputs without a controller
- Up, Down, Stop commands
- adjustable motor running timer
- separate power inputs for motors with different voltage requirements
- directional change delay for motor protection
- mechanical and electronic interlock to prevent simultaneous up/down activation
- supports 26 groups/scenes
- 50+ bus commands: scene presets, input modes, timing, delays
Features:
- standard DIN rail mounting
- suitable for blinds, shutters, curtains, awnings, projector screens
- compatible with AC motors with built-in limit switches
- stand-alone operation without a central controller
- enhanced system reliability through local control
- expandable with other FutureNow FN485 modules (dimmers, relays, analog outputs)
FutureNow FN485-4xSH is a robust and flexible solution for professional AV and building automation projects requiring precise and reliable control of motorized window coverings and similar devices.
