Introduction
Introduction
The Vesta Building Controller is a microprocessor-based 8-channel central control system for all types of sun
protection and roller shutter systems. The control is designed for use in large buildings with several facades
and/or multiple storeys.
Depending on sun intensity, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and current time, all connected sun pro-
tection and shutter systems can be controlled centrally. External systems such as security window systems,
fire alarm or building services control systems can be easily integrated.
The sensor inputs allow simultaneous connection of:
2 anemometer
1 wind direction meter
8 sun sensors
2 temperature sensors
1 heated rain and frost sensor
8 group keys
8 maintenance switches
1 potential-free alarm input.
The user-friendly interface of the Vesta Building Controller (further mentioned as VBC) gives access to a lot of
information like the measured sensor values, state of functions and a logfile. It also gives access to a lot of
control possibilities like manual operation, automatic operation and control by the sun function. The display is
divided in different area’s containing plain text sometimes in combination with graphics. The function keys at
the right side of the display give direct access to special functionality. The function keys are menu specific,
which means that each menu can have its own set of function keys.
The VBC is prepared for the future, it has the possibility to connect to a LON-bus, it is prepared to connect to
the CAN-bus, and it is also prepared to communicate with other VBC’s. Connecting the VBC to a PC gives you
the ability to control the VBC from your own workspace. Visualisation software gives you a direct overview and
the possibility to control your complete building.
The next chapters will explain how to control the VBC, the different menus and how to configure the different
functionality’s.
