Today's technology-driven world requires unique solutions for reliable and dedicated computing equipment. AMX has partnered with HARMAN to produce the AMX MUSE, a powerful controller designed with safety and ease of use in mind. AMX MUSE controllers are an exceptional addition to computer installations that need to easily and reliably run multiple scripting languages.
Built in conjunction with HARMAN's ultra-secure Linux platform, AMX MUSE Automation Controllers exceed even the most stringent security requirements. MUSE automation controllers are so secure that they can even be used in government installations, support financial applications and more. However, that is not where the collaboration with HARMAN ends. AMX MUSE controllers provide native support for HARMAN's HControl (open-API). HARMAN's legacy HiQnet audio devices and AMX's legacy control devices, ICSP, are also natively supported by the AMX MUSE.
This is all supported within a carefully designed, ultra-secure environment, powered by a modern embedded processor and industrial built-in eMMC storage solution. The rugged eMMC storage is designed to last for decades, so your AMX MUSE automation controller is as reliable as you are. Industrial storage keeps your environment running and safe when you need it most. Each MUSE automation controller is operational in temperatures ranging from 0° C to 50° C (32° F to 122° F), but the industrial storage system can maintain its integrity at temperatures as low as -10° C (14° F) and up to 60° C (140° F).
The MUSE Automation controller is a significant upgrade from AMX's previously released NX controller, offering a processor speed that is 10x faster than its predecessor. The MUSE is a versatile powerhouse that can run a virtually unlimited number of scripts simultaneously in your favorite programming languages. From Python to JavaScript and Groovy, the MUSE automation controller has it all.
That kind of ultra-secure power can sound intimidating to novice developers or IT pros with less experienced team members. Not every member of an IT or engineering team can be a professional programmer, but the AMX MUSE automated controller makes programming easy with the Node-RED development tool. Node-RED gives your team the power to program with a visual, flow-based process that requires little to no coding to program your controller. Node-RED support for AMX Muse controllers is built directly into the system, no special workarounds required.
AMX's MUSE product family consists of four automation controllers to choose from, designed to meet a wide range of operations and needs. The MU-1000 automation controller weighs only 1.25 pounds. It offers a USB-C program port on the front, along with a LAN port on the back with PoE, ICSLan port and 2 USB-A host ports. The MU-1300 automation controller is slightly larger at 1,575 pounds, but features a front USB-C program port and a USB-A host port. It includes 1 12V DC input, 1 LAN port, 1 RS-232/422/485, 1 RS-232, 4 I/O, 2 IR and 2 USB-A host ports on the rear panel.
The MU-2300 automation controller is slightly larger, weighs 6 pounds, and features a USB-C program port and USB-A host port on the front. The rear panel features a 12V DC input, 1 LAN port, 1ICSLan port, RS-232/422/485, 3 RS-232, 4 I/O, 4 IR, 4 relays and 2 USB-A host ports . The largest automation controller, the MU-3300, also weighs just 2 kilos and features a USB-C program port and a USB-A host port on the front panel. On the back panel it has 1 12V DC input, 1 LAN port, 1 ICSLan port, 2 RS-232/422/485, 6 RS-232, 8 I/O, 8 IR, 8 relays and 2 USB A Host ports.
AMX Muse automation controllers are essential computing devices that can solve a wide range of programming problems and provide additional unlimited capabilities to IT teams, engineers and programmers of all skill levels.
