WINDOWMASTER - Natural Ventilation Control Evolves With
Windowmaster Motorlink
WindowMaster (www.windowmaster.com), Europe’s largest provider of
natural ventilation solutions, has launched its MotorLink™ automated
window solution onto the open market in the UK. It provides a safe
window control option for the facade and building controls
industries.
The operation of buildings accounts for 40 per cent of all energy
consumption in Europe. Because this energy is still generated
primarily from coal-based sources it creates high CO2 emissions.
Automated natural ventilation or hybrid systems with mechanical and
natural ventilation can help reduce the carbon footprint of a
building.
MotorLink™ is a state of the art digital data communication
technology which provides improved control and functionality where
automated windows and natural ventilation are part of a building
management system (BMS).
WindowMaster MotorLink™ offers precise and accurate control. Because
it operates within open standards its operation does not require
expensive dedicated software systems. The versatile range of
functionality of the MotorLink™ system also means that BMS suppliers
and facade companies can deliver robust, flexible control solutions
tailored to specific project requirements.
MotorLink™ features precise position control, three-speed actuator
operation, synchronisation between multiple actuators on the same
window and reduced risk of entrapment. Other features include a
reversing function, which protects the weather seals around the
window, fault indication and online set-up.
Millimetre-by-millimetre control enables an optimal indoor climate
to be obtained whatever the weather or the season. Two-way
communication between the MotorLinkTM window actuators and the
MotorLink™ MotorController enables the BMS to accurately position
the windows. The actual position of a window is logged and stored in
a secure memory within the electronics of each MotorLink™ enabled
actuator. Position information is therefore retained even in the
event of power loss.
Full synchronisation means that up to four actuators on one window
can work together within a tolerance of less than two millimetres.
The system enables the actuators to communicate with one another so
that they are always working at the same speed to avoid damage to
the window.
Reversing and pressure safety functions within the MotorLink™ system
reduce pressure on the window gaskets, prolonging the life span of
the seals and the air tightness of the windows. In addition,
actuators equipped with MotorLink™ technology can be programmed to
stop and reverse if an object is encountered when the window is
closing.
Richard Arnott, UK and Ireland market manager for WindowMaster,
said: “Natural ventilation and smoke ventilation has moved to the
forefront of building design in recent years with the increasing
focus on energy consumption and sustainability. As a result, demand
for automated and intelligent facades has grown.
“WindowMaster has used its years of experience to make the
programming and operation of automated natural ventilation and smoke
ventilation systems as easy as possible. The new MotorLink™ range of
MotorControllers is very versatile and interfaces with building
management systems using open bus communication standards including
KNX, LON, Bacnet and Modbus.
“The MotorControllers can operate four or eight motorlines and work
in conjunction with WindowMaster’s range of actuators. These can be
specified to take into account the size and type of window,
application requirements, aesthetic requirements and whether they
are being used for comfort ventilation or smoke ventilation.”
