FlexiSmoke™ WSC 560

The FlexiSmoke™ WSC 560 is the largest smoke extraction control unit in the FlexiSmoke™ series for controlling ±24V DC and MotorLink

Due to the uniform building blocks, both smoke extraction and ventilation functions can be assigned to any module.

Touchscreen

The FlexiSmoke™ has a 3½” LCD touchscreen with a clear menu navigation. This enables easy configuration, commissioning, and maintenance – even without a computer. Any malfunctions are displayed in detail, making troubleshooting significantly easier.

The FlexiSmoke™ offers up to three different motor speeds:

1. for ±24V DC standard motors - 1 speed (smoke extraction)

2. for MotorLink^® motors - 2 speeds (smoke extraction / manual control)

3. for MotorLink^® motors and bus communication - 3 speeds
   (smoke extraction / manual control / automatic)

Speed Types

Smoke Extraction: full motor power for smoke extraction and safety functions.
Smoke extraction function always has the highest priority.
Manual Control: A fast and audible speed for manual ventilation control.
Automatic: A slow and nearly silent speed for automatic ventilation control

Low Wiring Effort

By using bus technology for the smoke extraction control panels, there is automatically less wiring effort. Reading and programming the individual bus participants can be done directly via the touchscreen of the control unit.

Wind Direction Dependent Smoke Extraction

The FlexiSmoke can be set up so that the opening and closing of windows can depend on wind direction and speed. Thus, the smoke extraction dampers/windows can be controlled according to wind direction without the need for additional modules.

Bus Communication

The ventilation control is also possible via KNX or BACnet IP bus communication together with, for example, NV Advance^®.

Certification

Certified according to EN 12101-10 and ISO 21927-9.
The WSA 5MC KNX module is certified by BACnet Interest Group Europe. 

Flexible System Configuration

The FlexiSmoke can be configured as needed and can be technically modified or expanded at any time, for example, by adding more modules or linking multiple control units.

Structure

The WSC 560 contains three 20A sections.

Modules
Each 20A section contains the WSA 5PS power supply module, the WSA 5MC master control module as well as 3 free installation slots for the installation of extension modules. The WSA 5MC control module
is available with or without a fieldbus interface for KNX or BACnet IP.
The 3 free installation slots can be equipped with WSA 5IO input/output module and/or with WSA 5UM universal motor module. The module types and the number will be selected such that the smoke extraction control unit is adapted to the specific task.

Motor Groups and Motor Lines
Each motor group consists of one or more motor lines. All motor lines of the motor groups are controlled simultaneously.
Each 20A section contains a 20A motor line on the WSA 5PS module for connecting ±24V standard motors. If several motor lines are needed, one or more motor modules type WSA 5UM
should be selected. Each motor module has 4 motor lines. It is possible to connect ±24V standard motors and motors with MotorLink® to the WSA 5UM.
A 20A section can contain a maximum of 13 ±24V standard motor lines or 12 MotorLink® motor lines and 1 ±24V standard motor line. The total power consumption of the motors must not exceed 20A.

Smoke Extraction Main Control Panels
For the FlexiSmoke™, smoke extraction main control panels from the WSK 5 series must be used. The smoke extraction control panels are configured via the touchscreen of the smoke extraction control unit and assigned to the smoke sections.

Inputs / Outputs
All inputs and outputs in the FlexiSmoke™ smoke extraction control unit can be freely configured – i.e., functions can be assigned across the modules and 20A sections.
