AMX MU-1300 - MUSE Automation Controller with 2 x Serial, 2 x IR and 4 x I/O Ports in Black Finish

The AMX MU-1300 MUSE Automation Controller is a powerful and reliable device designed to meet the needs of modern, secure automation systems. Running the HARMAN Professional AMX MUSE automation platform, the MU-1300 is capable of processing an almost unlimited number of scripts simultaneously in various programming languages, including JavaScript, Python, and Groovy. Additionally, it supports Low-Code development with Node-RED, making it an ideal choice for both advanced and simple automation tasks. The MU-1300 is built on a secure Linux platform, ensuring that it exceeds the security requirements needed for high-stakes installations.

Equipped with a modern embedded processor that is ten times faster than the processor in AMX NX controllers, the MU-1300 is built to handle intensive tasks with ease. The device also features rugged, industrial-grade eMMC storage, which provides reliability in 24/7 high-access environments. It supports native integration with a variety of HARMAN Professional products, including both new and legacy devices, via HControl, HiQnet, and ICSP protocols. This makes the MU-1300 a versatile solution for controlling a wide range of devices and systems, whether they are modern or legacy equipment.

The MU-1300 is designed with a compact form factor, taking up just one-third of a 1RU rack space. Despite its small size, it includes 2 serial ports, 2 IR ports, and 4 I/O ports, offering ample connectivity for a variety of devices. These ports allow the controller to manage and automate a wide array of systems and components. The MU-1300 also features multiple indicators, including status LEDs, programmable LEDs for scripts, and activity LEDs for each port, ensuring real-time visibility into the system's operation. The inclusion of a FLIRC IR receiver and USB ports further extends its versatility, making it adaptable to a range of control and automation scenarios.

For installation, the MU-1300 is powered via a 12V DC input and can be connected to a network through its Ethernet port. It also includes a range of connectors, including USB-A host ports and various mini-Phoenix connectors for serial, I/O, and IR ports, ensuring flexible and secure wiring options. With its modern processor, rugged build, and comprehensive connectivity options, the MU-1300 is designed to perform reliably in even the most demanding automation environments.
