NETWORK CONTROL UNIT:
The CommStar CS30 is a powerful, programmable, real time scheduler and event manager. It includes support for CommStar RS485 network devices.

The NCU programming features include:
- Real Time Clock/Calendar with Battery Backup
- 1000 Schedule Events
- 256 IF/THEN/ELSE Macros
- 256 Variables
- 32 Timers
- Status LEDs

I/O Expansion Port:
Aux bus supports up to 4 CSIOX I/O boards, each with 8 relay/16 Digitial/8 Analog inputs. Also supports IR Xpander for bi-directional IR control.
OnQ ALC Switch port: Supports 31 OnQ ALC light switches and dimmers.

CommStar Network:
The CS30 includes the CommStar RS485 port. The CommStar Network is 4 wire, 2 for data, 2 for power. The NCU can provide power to 12VDC network devices, up to 800ma total. This is a half-duplex network that can be 4000 ft in length, and operates at 9600 baud.

RS485 Expansion:
An external Model 8AH485, 8 channel RS485 star wiring hub can be connected to the NCU RS485 Port. This allows home run wiring for the CommStar network Devices. Additional 8 channel hubs can be cascaded for a total of 64 RS485 channels.

CommStar Network Peripherals:
The CS30 RS485 CommStar network controls Keypads, Thermostats, Zone Controls, Sensors, Relays and many other RS485 network products. The CS30 has built-in support for:
32 -Thermostats/sensors
16 - KPL7 Keypads
16 - KPG8 Keypads
16 - 8 Channel Relay Control Units
16 - 8 Channel Digital Input Control Units

WinEVM PC Host Software:
Included with the CS30 is the powerful PC Windows based WinEVM software. WinEVM provides for setup and control of the CS30 NCU and network devices. This allows the creation of an integrated network of devices and subsystems via schedules and IF/THEN/ELSE macros. Once created on a PC, these schedules are downloaded into the NCU program memory. While not required to run the NCU, WinEVM can remain connected to the NCU to monitor and directly control the network from the PC.

Power: 12VDC, 1000ma. Transformer included.
Size: 12” x 9” x 1.75”.
