AMX MU-3300 - MUSE Automation Controller with 8 x Serial, 8 x Relays, 8 x IR, 8 x I/O and ICSLan Ports in Black Finish

The AMX MU-3300 MUSE Automation Controller is a powerful and versatile solution designed to streamline automation and control in demanding environments. Running HARMAN Professional's AMX MUSE automation platform, the MU-3300 can simultaneously process a virtually unlimited number of scripts written in JavaScript, Python, or Groovy. It also supports Low-Code development with Node-RED, allowing for simplified automation configuration. The MU-3300 is ideal for applications that require flexible, scalable, and secure control of devices, whether in new or legacy systems.

Built with a modern embedded processor that is 10x faster than the processor in AMX NX Controllers, the MU-3300 is engineered to handle complex automation tasks with speed and reliability. It features rugged, industrial-grade eMMC storage that ensures performance and durability in high-access, 24/7 operations. The device operates on a secure Linux platform that meets the highest security standards, making it suitable for installations that require stringent data protection and system integrity. Additionally, the MU-3300 natively supports HARMAN's HControl, HiQnet, and ICSP protocols, enabling seamless integration with both new and legacy HARMAN Professional products.

Designed as a 1RU device, the MU-3300 is compact and space-efficient, yet packed with connectivity options. It includes 8 serial ports, 8 relays, 8 IR ports, and 8 I/O ports, offering flexibility for controlling and automating a wide range of systems and devices. The device also includes an ICSLan network port, which allows the creation of an isolated network for controlled devices, enhancing security by keeping the control network separate from other systems. Real-time monitoring and status updates are provided by multiple LED indicators, which show the operational status of serial, relay, IR, and I/O ports, as well as activity levels and system health.

The MU-3300 is powered via a 12V DC input and has a maximum power consumption of 36W, making it efficient and easy to integrate into any system. It also features a range of connectors for seamless communication, including mini-Phoenix connectors for serial, relay, IR, and I/O ports. This versatility, combined with its powerful performance and secure operation, makes the MU-3300 a perfect solution for a wide variety of automation applications in commercial, industrial, and professional settings.
