Quick Answers
What is the MG100E?
A fully automated electric operable wall. All panels are motorised and operate at the touch of a button — no manual effort required.
Who is it for?
Premium conference centres, five-star hotels, corporate headquarters, healthcare facilities and accessibility-focused buildings.
What acoustic rating does it achieve?
Rw 46 dB (standard) to Rw 54 dB (high performance), with electrically-actuated sealing systems.
Can it connect to a BMS?
Yes. Supports Modbus, BACnet and KNX protocols for full building management system integration.

What is the MG100E movable wall?
The MG100E is the most advanced movable wall system in the ModernGlide range. It is a fully motorised, top-hung operable wall where all panels operate at the touch of a button — no manual effort required to open, close or reconfigure the space.
The system achieves acoustic ratings up to Rw 54 dB through electrically-actuated sealing systems that engage automatically when panels reach the closed position. This ensures consistent acoustic performance every time the wall is used.
The MG100E can be integrated with building management systems (BMS) for centralised control and scheduling — allowing spaces to be pre-configured for meetings, events or different operational modes automatically.

How It Works
How Does the MG100E Electric Operable Wall Work?
The MG100E operates on the same top-hung track principle as the manual MG100, but with fully motorised panel drives. Each panel contains an electric drive unit that propels it along the overhead track at the touch of a button.
Activate via Control Panel or BMS
Press the wall-mounted button, use a remote handset, or trigger via the building management system. The system activates automatically.
Panels Drive Along the Track
Each motorised panel glides along the overhead track independently. Soft-start motors ensure smooth, quiet movement.
Seals Engage Automatically
When panels reach the closed position, electrically-actuated sealing systems engage automatically — ensuring consistent acoustic performance every time.
Safety Systems Monitor Operation
Obstacle detection sensors continuously monitor for obstructions. If detected, panels stop automatically. Soft-stop motors prevent impact damage.
Control Options
Wall-Mounted Push Buttons
Simple, intuitive operation for any user. No training required.
Remote Control Handset
Operate from anywhere in the room. Ideal for large spaces.
Smartphone App
Control via iOS or Android app for modern connected buildings.
BMS Integration
Centralised scheduling and control via Modbus, BACnet or KNX.
Scheduled Automation
Pre-programme partition configurations for recurring events or meetings.
Power failure safety: The MG100E includes a manual override facility. In the event of a power failure, panels can be operated manually — ensuring access is never compromised.
Key Features
What Makes the MG100E Different?
The MG100E combines the acoustic performance of a top-hung operable wall with fully automated electric operation — delivering convenience, reliability and control in a single system.
Fully Electric Operation
All panels are motorised and operate at the touch of a button. No manual effort is required to open or close the wall — suitable for environments where ease of use is critical.
High Acoustic Performance
Rw ratings up to 54 dB. Automatic sealing systems engage electrically, ensuring consistent acoustic performance every time the wall is closed — without relying on the operator.
BMS Integration
The MG100E can be integrated with building management systems for centralised control, scheduling and monitoring. Compatible with Modbus, BACnet and KNX protocols.
Safety Systems
Obstacle detection sensors automatically stop panel movement if an obstruction is detected. Soft-start and soft-stop motors ensure smooth, quiet operation throughout.
Multiple Control Options
Panels can be operated via wall-mounted push buttons, remote control handsets, smartphone apps or BMS integration. Multiple control options can be combined on one installation.
Premium Construction
The MG100E uses premium panel construction with motorised drive systems, control electronics and safety sensors engineered for long-term reliability in high-use commercial environments.

System Comparison
MG100 vs MG100E — Which Should You Specify?
Both systems are top-hung operable walls with high acoustic performance. The key difference is operation — manual vs fully automated.
| Feature | MG100 | MG100E |
|---|---|---|
| Acoustic Rating | Rw up to 59 dB | Rw up to 54 dB |
| Max Height | Up to 12,000mm | Up to 6,000mm |
| Panel Width | 650–1,250mm | 840–6,000mm |
| Operation | Manual | Fully Electric |
| Control Options | Manual handle | Push button, remote, BMS |
| BMS Integration | No | Yes — Modbus, BACnet, KNX |
| Obstacle Detection | No | Yes — automatic stop |
| Soft Start/Stop | No | Yes — smooth quiet operation |
| Panel Finishes | Full range | Full range |
| Best For | High acoustic priority | Automation and ease of use |
Specification guidance: Choose the MG100 when maximum acoustic performance (Rw 59 dB) is the priority and manual operation is acceptable. Choose the MG100E when automated operation, BMS integration or accessibility compliance are key requirements.
