ABB MATRIX‑216 ASPECT Control Engine BMS Controller

The ABB MATRIX‑216 (MAT‑216, 2CQG100102R1021) is an ASPECT Control Engine embedded controller for Cylon MATRIX series building management system. It integrates runtime engine and built‑in web‑based user interface, supports up to 750 data points and 16 connected field devices, realizing logic control, data collection and remote web monitoring for HVAC and building automation equipment.

This DIN‑rail mounted BMS controller is equipped with one 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and two configurable EIA‑485 serial ports, compatible with BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU protocols. It is an obsolete legacy spare part, widely used for building automation system overhaul, field‑loop debugging and retrofitting projects in commercial buildings, industrial plants and data‑center sites.
