Motor control unit (MCU) for controlling 6 motors via the sun protection central unit. Up to 6 drives can be connected to the motor control unit simultaneously. For local operation, a separate button can also be connected to each motor output. The motor control unit operates via separate control and power loop lines. The safety low voltage is generated within the motor control unit itself. An external power supply is not necessary. Different programs for sun protection products with and without slats can be set. A local drive command is stored after 2 seconds or immediately, depending on the programming. In the case of a central command, this drive command is deleted, and local operation is blocked. To ensure the possibility of passage, there is a separate input on the motor control unit for connecting a locking contact, e.g., a window contact. All connection terminals are designed as screw terminals for secure mounting. The device allows switching between logic behavior, time logic, or permanent logic via a coding switch. Additionally, the housing is halogen-free and complies with the UL-94 V0 test. The housing meets the standard for installation devices according to DIN 43880. A replaceable fuse is available for the motor output to protect the motor line. The motor control unit has a size of 6TE.
