TAC Xenta 300 is designed for use
in open systems and integration via
LonWorks® – an industrial standard for
network communications which enables
a range of different systems within a
property, such as HVAC, lighting and
access control, to be integrated on the
same network.
TAC Xenta 300 provides an open, future-proof
system architecture. At the same time, it provides
access to standardized network technology
supporting a flexible control system, to which
components from other manufacturers can be
connected.
Designed for Effective Control of Heating
and Ventilation
The TAC Xenta 300 has full HVAC functionality,
including control loops, control curves, time control,
alarm handling, etc.
The controller consists of an optimum combination
of digital and analogue inputs and outputs which
are intended specifically for heating and ventilation
applications, such as for control of fans and
pumps. When required, the TAC Xenta 300 can be
expanded with further I/O modules.
Simplicity of Installation
The TAC Xenta 300 is a freely programmable
controller that can be fitted in a standard enclosure
or a control panel.
Installation is extremely simple. The controller is
designed for installation adjacent to the equipment
that it controls, which greatly simplifies wiring.
The unique TAC MentaTM graphic programming tool
quickly adapts the controller for different types of
control and/or supervisory applications.
Engineering is further simplified by the fact that TAC
Menta contains a large number of pre-programmed
function blocks, together with a comprehensive
library of functions.

TAC Xenta 300 Programmable Controllers

Features (continued)

Developed for Network Communication TAC Xenta OP

The TAC Xenta can be used either independently or
as a communicating controller in a larger system.
Several controllers can be easily connected to form
a network and exchange data. In addition, the TAC
Xenta 300 can be connected to TAC VistaTM – a
supervision system running under Windows® for
controlling and analyzing all aspects of performance,
either in individual buildings or a whole area

LonMark-Certified – For Open Communication

The TAC Xenta 300 is LonMark-certified. It
commu-nicates via a TP/FT-10 network, enabling
it to be integrated with other systems such as
lighting, sunblinds and access control for overall
optimization of environmental conditions and
operating costs.
Rapid Control via TAC Xenta OP

with other units in the network.
Advanced Datalog and Time Control
TAC Xenta 300 has a local datalog which can be A menu system on the unit provides the operator with

Start and stop of the datalog can be event or time
controlled. The “smart log” maximizes storage
capacity by only logging values that actually have
changed.
The system manager can also restrict the use of
TAC Xenta OP by setting up authorization codes so
that changes to the program can be made only by
authorized persons.
