The M-3 is the newest generation of central controller(s) and hub of the APAV control system.
The central controller connects to every device and component of the control system through its many and diverse output ports.
Powered by an i.MX ARM Cortex-A7 528MHz microprocessor the M-3 is capable of performing high speed intricate logic calculations.
An embedded Linux OS manages the I/O operation of all ports including three RS232 output ports on DB9 male, 3 RS232/422/485 on Phoenix screw block, 8 Relay, 8 Digital I/O, 8 Infrared/one-way serial and 1 Ethernet.
The M-3 supports user control Apps for iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone as well as user control Apps for Android devices.
Programming software is built into the M-3 controller and accessible through the Google Chrome web browser.
The M-3 can be programmed locally from PC or any device supporting the Google Chrome web browser and can also be programmed and controlled remotely over an Internet connection!
