FAQ
Product Description
The ES200 Controller (BM) is the proven microprocessor core behind Dorma's ES200 sliding door platform—a controller architecture specified by integrators who need reliability, straightforward commissioning, and compatibility across a broad portfolio of dormakaba sliding door assets.
Modular Control Platform
Unlike monolithic boards that force a full replacement to add functions, the ES200 separates the Basic Module (BM) from Function Modules (FM). Start with the BM to cover the essentials—program modes, sensor/lock interfaces, and self-learning motion—then add FM features only if the site demands them.
Commissioning That's Predictable
Technicians parameterize directly on the controller using the integrated display and push buttons, mirroring ES-series workflows used globally. From opening/closing speeds to hold-open times and partial-open levels, settings are incrementally adjustable.
Connectivity That Simplifies Compliance
The DCW® (Dorma Connect & Work) bus provides a unified interface for monitored sensors and activators, reducing wiring errors and ensuring the controller sees the devices it must supervise for EN 16005 / DIN 18650.
Diagnostics That Cut Downtime
With its error memory and fault code reporting, the BM gives service teams the information they need to isolate configuration conflicts, bus addressing issues, or sensor mis-wires quickly—before they become callbacks.
Where the ES200 Controller (BM) Excels
Retail & Malls
Repeatable Program-Switch behavior for daily operations plus battery-backed security after hours.
Healthcare & Labs
Integrated DCW® simplifies monitored-sensor commissioning; diagnostic codes ensure faster returns to service.
Transit & Hospitality
Modular hardware and on-board setup keep maintenance efficient across diverse property portfolios.
What's Included
ES200 Basic Module (BM) controller board with integrated display and keypad. For complete upgrades, pair with a compliant program switch, safety beams, electromechanical lock, and backup battery pack according to the site risk assessment.
Compatibility Note
Many ESA-series operators use controllers with similar naming, modes, and safety expectations; however, mechanical/electrical interchangeability is not guaranteed. Confirm door type, header profile, and module codes before attempting cross-family replacement.
