Motorized Shades - IntelliFlex I/O | Draper

IntelliFlex I/O is a scalable, flexible shade control; a new complete control solution for motorized shades from Draper. The window shade automation system is flexible and expandable to the size and complexity of a project. Intelligent motors are connected to wall switches and other input devices through a wired network. The network allows communication between the devices and distributes power to them from the motors, eliminating the need for external power supplies.

The backbone of IntelliFlex I/O is the Network Device Connector (NDC) which connects to each system component, such as a shade motor, wall switch, or another interface. Power comes from the motorized shade motors and is distributed through the network via the NDCs. You can connect up to 120 devices and extend the network to 4000 feet in total with no further restrictions on connections between components.
