: Fully programmable using Alerton's VisualLogic graphical toolset. Handling numerous points for precise climate control
The VLC-1600 is designed for robust performance in industrial environments. Below are the key specifications sourced from the official VLC-1600 Datasheet: Power and Environment Consumption: minimum (up to with loads). Environmental: Humidity: , non-condensing. Inputs and Outputs (I/O)
The advanced capabilities of the VLC-1600-E, in particular, make it a versatile tool for modern building intelligence. Its high-resolution 16-bit universal inputs and powerful 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F processor at 80 MHz provide the horsepower needed for precise data handling and complex algorithmic analysis. The device's 512 MB of flash memory allows for substantial on-board logic storage, while non-volatile memory ensures that all programmed settings are preserved even during a power loss, guaranteeing stable and reliable operation. The unit is programmed using Alerton's VisualLogic, an intuitive, graphical, drag-and-drop programming language that simplifies the creation of custom monitoring sequences without requiring extensive coding expertise. The supported sensor ecosystem is a key advantage; the VLC-1600 works with the full range of Alerton BACtalk® sensors, including the popular Microset, Microset II, and Microset 4 intelligent wall sensors, which provide convenient local data display, setpoint adjustment, and technician access for equipment setup parameters. Furthermore, its BTL (BACnet Testing Laboratories) certification guarantees that it will communicate flawlessly with products from other BACnet-compliant manufacturers, preventing vendor lock-in and ensuring a truly open and interoperable building management system.
: When utilizing long outdoor sensor runs, always install third-party signal circuit protectors that are correctly grounded to clamp incoming atmospheric surges before they reach the 16-bit universal input array. | Parameter | Test Condition | Min |
The VLC-1600 family spans across two major hardware generations: the legacy base model and the modern (Ethernet/Enhanced platform variant).
: The transformer circuit uses half-wave rectification. Ensure that the 24 VAC common side is referenced identically across all interconnected devices on the same transformer to prevent equipment damage.
