KMD-5290E | Controller: LAN Controller, KMDigital

The KMD-5290E LAN Controller is an intelligent, programmable direct digital controller and high-level LAN communications manager suitable for use in facilities management systems.

The LAN Controller operates as a stand-alone unit or as an integral part of a fully networked, peer-to-peer digital system. The KMD-5290E uses a Tier 1 (Ethernet) network to communicate with other LAN Controllers. Two dedicated EIA-485 ports provide connection to up to 124 devices on each (SubLAN A and SubLAN B) Tier 2 network. A serial port provides direct connection to a PC using an RS-232-to-USB Type A cable.

Control up to 64 inputs and 32 outputs with the LAN Controller using CAN-5900 Series Expansion Modules. Each CAN-5901 provides 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The CAN-5902 Expansion Module provides 16 inputs. Up to four expansion modules can be connected in series to the KMD-5290E in various combinations via the LAN controller’s EIO communication port.
