Specifications on this page are taken from the Prolon FlexIO Controller datasheet, REV 7.3.0 / PL-DATA-C1050FLX-C/F-EN.
The FlexIO is the C1050 that is not tied to a single piece of equipment. Its inputs and outputs are configured individually, so it covers the outlying functions a project needs that no dedicated Prolon controller addresses.
Each of the three analog inputs takes a selectable signal range: thermistor, dry contact, 0-5 VDC, 1-5 VDC, 0.5-4.5 VDC or 0-10 VDC. Scales for pressure and gas inputs are configurable, so almost any field sensor can be scaled into it, and inputs and outputs can be given custom names and display options.
Outputs act on any local input or on data received from a network master. Logic options include on/off, PI loop, direct or reverse acting, and pulsed; outputs can be interlocked with each other, paired with lead/lag and backup, or overridden automatically on outside temperature or occupancy.
Best For
- HVAC functions no dedicated Prolon controller covers
- Temperature, pressure, gas, humidity, current, voltage, power, level, speed and flow signals
- Lighting control driven by up to 5 occupancy states from an NC2000
Key Features
Configurable input signal types
3 analog inputs with individually configurable signal ranges (thermistor, dry contact, 0-5 VDC, 1-5 VDC, 0.5-4.5 VDC, 0-10 VDC) plus 1 digital input.
Wide range of measured types
Input types available include temperature, dry contact, pressure, gas, humidity, current, voltage, power, level, speed and flow.
Flexible output logic
Output logic sequences include on/off, PI loop, direct or reverse acting, and pulsed. Outputs can be interlocked with each other.
Lead/lag and backup pairing
2 outputs can be linked together with lead/lag and backup capabilities.
Occupancy-driven lighting control
Can receive up to 5 different occupancy states from an NC2000, allowing for versatile lighting control.
Fixed or reset setpoints
Outputs can be configured to maintain a fixed setpoint or a variable setpoint based on a reset curve, and can be overridden automatically on outside temperature or occupancy.
