FlexiSmoke™ WSC 560

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

Due to the uniform components, both smoke and heat extraction and ventilation functions can be assigned to each component.

Touchscreen

The FlexiSmoke™ features a 3½” LCD touchscreen with clear menu navigation. This allows for trouble-free configuration, commissioning, and maintenance – even without a computer. Any disturbances are displayed in detail, making troubleshooting significantly easier.

The FlexiSmoke™ has up to three different motor speeds:

1. for ±24V DC standard motors - 1 speed (Smoke and Heat Extraction)

2. for MotorLink^® motors - 2 speeds (Smoke and Heat Extraction / manual control)

3. for MotorLink^® motors and bus communication - 3 speeds
   (Smoke and Heat Extraction / manual control / automatic)

Speed Types

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

Low Wiring Effort

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

Wind Direction-Dependent Smoke Extraction

The FlexiSmoke can be set so that the opening and closing of the windows can occur depending on wind direction and speed. This allows the smoke and heat extraction flaps/windows to be controlled based on wind direction without the need to purchase additional modules.

BUS Communication

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

Certification

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

Flexible System Structure

The FlexiSmoke can be structured as needed and can always be technically modified and expanded, for example, by adding additional modules or linking multiple control centers.

Structure

The WSC 560 contains three 20A sections.

Modules
Each 20A section includes the WSA 5PS power supply module, the WSA 5MC main control module, and 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 modules and/or with WSA 5UM universal motor modules. The module types and quantities are selected so that the smoke and heat extraction control center 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 at the WSA 5PS module for connecting ±24V standard motors. If multiple motor lines are required, one or more motor modules of type WSA 5UM should be chosen.
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 current consumption of the motors must not exceed 20A.

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

Inputs / Outputs
All inputs and outputs in the FlexiSmoke™ smoke and heat extraction control center can be freely configured – meaning that functions can be assigned across the modules and 20A sections.
