(1) NETWORKING
(1) It is possible to network up to a maximum of 8 units to a single LINKS 2. Since each
unit is separately addressed, it is possible to monitor and control each unit
individually. Different networking configurations may be achieved and are mostly
dependant on the type of network present at the site. One networking example could
have a Gateway installed inside the lead unit, which could then be daisy-chained to
successive units. In turn, the lead unit would connect to a Building Management
System (BMS) network via a shielded, twisted-pair connection. Please see wiring
section for additional detail. A second example could have a series of units directly
connected to an Ethernet network. This is only possible for BACnet communication
and is essentially referred to as a BACnet/IP configuration.
