3-Series® Control Systems

Introduction

Crestron® 3-Series Control System® automated processors unify disparate
technologies in buildings so they can communicate and work together
intelligently, which lowers costs and boosts efficiency. Their unique distributed
architecture enables multitasking essential to a complete building control
solution. Up to 10 programs can operate independently and simultaneously while
rapidly communicating with each other. Code is organized into a few smaller
programs rather than one large one, so programming, troubleshooting, and
uploading are much faster and easier.
