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 assemblies, both smoke extraction and ventilation functions can be assigned to each assembly.

Touchscreen

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

The FlexiSmoke™ features 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 during smoke extraction and safety functions.
The smoke extraction function always has the highest priority.
Manual control: A quick and audible speed for manual ventilation controls.
Automatic: A slow and almost silent speed for automatic ventilation controls

Low Wiring Effort

By using bus technology at the smoke extraction control stations, a lower wiring effort is automatically achieved. Reading and programming the individual bus participants can be done directly via the control unit's touchscreen.

Wind Direction-Dependent Smoke Extraction

The FlexiSmoke can be configured to open and close windows based on wind direction and speed. This allows the smoke extraction flaps/windows to be controlled according to wind direction without the need for additional modules.

Bus Communication

Ventilation control is also possible via bus communication KNX or BACnet IP 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 Structure

The FlexiSmoke can be configured as needed and can be technically modified and expanded at any time, e.g., by adding additional modules or by 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, and 3 free installation slots for the installation of expansion 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 WSA 5UM universal motor modules. The module types and quantities are chosen to customize the smoke extraction control unit for 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 multiple motor lines are needed, one or more motor modules of type WSA 5UM
should be selected. Each motor module has 4 motor lines. It is possible to connect ±24V standard motors and MotorLink® motors 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 Extraction Main Control Stations
For the FlexiSmoke™, smoke extraction main control stations from the WSK 5 series must be used. The smoke extraction control stations 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.
