The Automated Logic OptiFlex OFBBC-A is a high-performance BACnet building controller and router designed for demanding HVAC applications, including complex central plants and systems that require coordinated control of multiple pieces of equipment. Its processing power, memory, and flexible I/O expansion capabilities support sophisticated building automation strategies.
The controller integrates with the WebCTRL building automation system for configuration, monitoring, and operation. EIKON graphical programming software allows custom control sequences, while its BACnet routing capabilities support interoperability between BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, and BACnet ARC156 networks.
The OFBBC-A supports up to nine FIO and/or MEx expanders, with no more than nine expanders in total. It also supports up to 1,500 third-party BACnet points and 200 Modbus points, providing flexibility for complex and scalable building automation installations.
