Four Channel DIN Rail Window Shading Controller with Local Inputs 

 

 

OVERVIEW 

 

The  FNIP-4xSH  can  be  used  for  controlling  four  motorized  window  coverings,  such  as 
shades,  shutters,  blind,  curtains,  awnings  or  projection  screens  and  any  other  devices 
equipped with four-wire bidirectional AC motors with built-in limit switches either via its local 
inputs, custom TCP protocol or via its built-in web interface. 
 
The  FNIP-4xSH  can  be  controlled  and  monitored  from  standard  network  capable  devices 
such as computers, smartphones, web-tablets, etc. either locally or via the Internet.
