Home Building+Networking Building+Networking Control family for building and room automation
In building and room automation, compact installation distributors are often used, which offer little space for the hardware to be installed. This is why Phoenix Contact has expanded its product portfolio to include devices in REG format. In addition to the proven ILC 2050 BI building control system, the new "Catan C1 EN" controller is now available.

The compact controller with a width of just six HP is characterized by a flexible mix of 14 individually configurable inputs and outputs, which leads to further space and cost savings. The eight universal inputs are suitable for temperature sensors, 0 ... 10 V interfaces or as counters, among other things. The two universal and four digital channels can be set as outputs or inputs. The Catan C1 EN, which is equipped with a managed Ethernet switch, includes three Ethernet, two serial RS-485 and two USB-C interfaces for connecting a control panel and USB peripherals.
It is also the first Niagara controller to have a KNX-TP interface on board. The plug-in control panel supports local commissioning, operation and maintenance. There are also two SPE interfaces for the various Catan expansion modules. "Emalytics" and the "Niagara Framework" are powerful tools available as a programming environment and for visualization, which the established ILC 2050 BI also uses. With this equipment, protocols such as Bacnet, KNX or Modbus can be integrated and the controller can be easily integrated into a cloud environment.
The Catan C1 EN contributes to reducing the energy requirements of buildings, an important building block on the way to an All Electric Society in which renewably generated energy is available worldwide in sufficient quantities and is completely economically viable as the primary form of energy.
