FlexiSmoke™ WSC 560

The FlexiSmoke™ WSC 560 is the largest smoke and heat vent (RWA) control unit in the FlexiSmoke™ series for controlling ±24V DC and MotorLink

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

Touch Screen

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

The FlexiSmoke™ provides up to three different motor speeds:

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

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

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

Speed Types

RWA: full motor power for RWA and safety functions.
RWA function always has the highest priority.
Manual control: A quick and audible speed for manual ventilation controls
Automatic: A slow and virtually silent speed for automatic ventilation controls.

Low Wiring Effort

By using BUS technology at the RWA control stations, a lower wiring effort is automatically achieved. Reading in and programming the individual BUS participants can be done directly via the touch screen of the control unit.

Wind Direction Dependent Smoke Exhaust

The FlexiSmoke can be configured to open and close windows depending on wind direction and speed. This allows the RWA flaps/windows to be controlled in a wind direction-dependent manner without the need for additional modules.

BUS Communication

The 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 Configuration

The FlexiSmoke can be configured according to requirements and can be technically upgraded or expanded at any time, e.g., by adding further modules or linking multiple control units.

Construction

The WSC 560 contains three 20A sections.

Modules
Each 20A section includes the WSA 5PS power supply module, the WSA 5MC master control module, as well as 3 free mounting slots for the installation of expansion modules. The WSA 5MC control module
is available with or without fieldbus interface for KNX or BACnet IP.
The three free mounting 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 RWA control unit is tailored 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 activated simultaneously.
Each 20A section contains a 20A motor line at 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 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.

RWA Main Control Stations
The FlexiSmoke™ must use RWA main control stations from the WSK 5 series. The RWA control stations are configured through the touch panel of the RWA control unit and assigned to the smoke sections.

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