ALERTON VLC1600 Programmable Logic Controller – IBEX Series Direct Digital Control Module
When a critical DDC controller fails in a building automation system, the consequences cascade instantly — HVAC zones lose coordinated control, energy waste spikes, occupant comfort deteriorates, and facility managers face unplanned downtime that can cost thousands per hour. In large commercial buildings, hospitals, or data centers where environmental precision is non-negotiable, a missing or failed VLC1600 is not a minor inconvenience; it is an operational emergency. The ALERTON VLC1600 is the exact component that stands between a fully optimized building environment and system-wide control failure.
The ALERTON VLC1600 occupies a pivotal position within the IBEX Series — Alerton’s flagship line of intelligent, networked direct digital controllers. Designed for high-density I/O applications and complex control logic, the VLC1600 is deployed across millions of square feet of commercial real estate worldwide. As part of Honeywell’s Alerton portfolio, it integrates seamlessly into BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks, making it one of the most widely specified DDC modules in North American and international building automation projects.
