New at Mouser: Phoenix Contact Catan C1 EN Building Automation Controllers for Smart Building Applications

April 8, 2025 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new Catan C1 EN building automation controller from Phoenix Contact. The Catan building automation controller simplifies smart room automation in hospitals, data centers, and commercial building applications.

The Phoenix Contact Catan C1 EN building automation controller, available from Mouser, is programmed with an Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 processor (4x 1600MHz), connecting up to 16 external expansion modules via a single-pair Ethernet (SPE) communication bus, including a flexible mix of 14 individually configurable inputs and outputs, for increased space and cost savings. The eight universal inputs are suitable for temperature sensors from 0 V-10 V interfaces, as well as meters. The two universal and four digital channels can be set as outputs or inputs, and an optional plug-in touch display provides support during local priority operation, commissioning and maintenance, as well as secure controller access.

Catan C1 EB controller uses Phoenix Contact Emalytics software based on the Niagara 4 framework. This software integrates the controller with building management systems using BACnet, KNX, Modbus, MQTT, OPC UA, and other communications protocols. The Catan C1 EN controller features a managed Ethernet switch, including three Ethernet, two serial RS-485, and two USB Type-C^® interfaces for connecting a control panel and USB peripherals. It is also the first Niagara controller to have an onboard KNX-TP interface, with two SPE interfaces for multiple Catan extension modules.
