Oldham MX 256 Gas Detection Control Unit

Oldham MX 256 Gas Detection Control Unit

The Oldham MX 256 is a powerful digital gas detection controller designed to monitor, process, and manage information from a wide range of gas detection and safety devices. Capable of supporting up to 256 detectors, it provides a flexible and scalable solution for laboratories, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and other applications requiring comprehensive gas monitoring.

Using an economical RS485 communication bus, the MX 256 can connect to digital sensors, relay modules, analogue output modules, and logic input modules. As a result, engineers can create large gas detection networks while keeping installation costs under control.

Furthermore, the MX 256 supports OLCT 10N digital detectors and can be expanded with an optional Industrial Controller Module or Remote HMI. This allows additional 4-20mA detector inputs, relay modules, event logging, and remote access to system information via the integrated web interface.
