RS485 Motors
Intelligent Shade Automation for Modern Spaces
Rollease Acmeda Contract introduces the new RS485 motor range, engineered specifically for commercial projects seeking smarter, scalable automation. Available in both AC 6Nm and DC 1.1Nm models, these motors deliver direct, secure communication through RS485 protocol, eliminating the need for external controllers or internet connectivity.
Designed for seamless integration into third-party systems like Savant, C4, and BMS platforms, the RS485 motors offer enhanced flexibility, simplified wiring, and reliable real-time feedback. Whether you’re automating roller or roman shades, the RS485 line combines robust performance with easy installation and configuration which is ideal for today’s complex commercial and high-end residential projects.
Key Features
Direct Motor Communication
Allows direct communication to each motor without external gateways, ideal for third-party integration and automation flexibility
Independent Operation
Operates independently of Ethernet/Wi-Fi, reducing exposure to network-based vulnerabilities
Smart Home System Compatibility
Compatible with Savant, Control4, URC, and more; each motor is addressable and configurable via open-source software
Bi-directional ARC communication
Bi-directional ARC communication keeps shade status visible across control system interfaces
Easy Grouping
Easily group, reconfigure, or daisy-chain motors via Bus Cable using software—no rewiring needed
Single Cable
DC 1.1Nm model uses one Cat5 cable for both power and signal
Dual Cable
AC 6Nm model uses Cat5 for signal and a separate power cord
Large Shade Support
6Nm supports shades up to 140” x 140” and 1.1Nm supports shades up to 80” x 80”
Adjustable RPM
Adjustable RPM settings on the DC 1.1Nm model for fine-tuned shade performance
4 Channel Motor Controller
Smart, Scalable Control for Motorized Shades
The Automate 4-Channel Motor Controller brings powerful and precise shade control to any building automation project. Designed to manage up to four mechanical limit motors per unit, it offers flexible operation through wall switches, grouped controls, or dry contact inputs. Built for scalability, this compact controller can link with up to 31 other units, managing as many as 128 motors across a building with ease.
Ideal for both new builds and retrofits, it seamlessly integrates with modern BMS platforms via RS485 or TCP/IP, ensuring smooth compatibility without the need for extensive rewiring. With preset shade positions and advanced sensor integration, it’s a smart, efficient solution for lighting and climate control.
