Core Features and Advantages

Cost optimization design

Hardware cost: Reuse existing Ethernet/LAN infrastructure to reduce communication cabling investment; Supports flexible selection of onboard I/O and Panel Bus I/O to avoid redundant configurations.

Operation and maintenance costs: No need to separately maintain the operator interface software (software integrated into the controller, following the "single source principle"); Support remote browser access to reduce on-site operation and maintenance frequency.

Open compatibility and multi protocol support

Communication standard: Fully compatible with international mainstream building communication protocols, including BACnet/IP（ISO 16484-5）、BACnet MS/TP（ISO 16484-5）、LONWORKS（ISO 14908）、Modbus RTU Master、M-Bus（EN 1434-3）， Seamless integration with third-party BACnet devices and Honeywell front-end systems (such as Enterprise Buildings integrator) ™、 SymmetrE and LONWorks devices.

Manufacturer independence: Based on open protocol design, there is no need to rely on a single supplier, reducing the limitations of system upgrades and extensions.

Flexible operation and monitoring

Remote access: Built in web server, supports local/remote operation on any networked PC (laptop, desktop, touch screen) through standard browsers (IE 9.0. x, Mozilla Firefox 15.0. x, etc.), compatible with WIN CE system 320x240 pixel touch screen (such as Excel Touch).

Data Trend and Alarm: Supports trend recording for 100 data points; The built-in email/SMS alarm function can send the alarm information to the mailbox or mobile phone through the network or Internet DSL connection, and the alarm rules can be customized.

High reliability and security guarantee

Stable operation: It is equipped with an embedded LINUX system to ensure an independent and safe operating environment, especially suitable for scenarios requiring access to the Internet.

Network security: it needs to be deployed on a private network (such as VPN) or isolated from the Internet through an external firewall; Support 6 levels of user permission management, each level can be configured with independent read and write permissions and passwords to prevent unauthorized operations.

Fault Monitoring: Equipped with M-Bus and Modbus slave device communication fault detection functions, it can automatically retry communication and mark fault status to ensure data collection continuity.

Installation and usage precautions

Wiring requirements

M-Bus/Modbus: Shielded twisted pair cable (J-Y - (St) - Y 2 × 2 × 0.8) is required, with the shielding layer grounded at one end; Modbus only supports daisy chain topology, with branch lengths not exceeding 20m.

Power isolation: It is prohibited to share transformer power supply with other controllers/devices (such as PW M-Bus adapters) to avoid interference.

Electrostatic protection: During installation, it is necessary to follow the rules for electrostatic discharge protection to avoid damaging the equipment.

Accessories and Selection

Essential accessories: detachable terminal plug (TPU-45-01), terminal cover (MVC-80-AC1), cabinet door installation accessories (MVC-80-AC2), strain relief (MVC-40-AC3), etc. (to be purchased separately).

Signal conversion: If you need to convert a 0-20mA signal to 0-10VDC, you can use the auxiliary terminal pack (XS831).
