VMB1TC Temperature controller manual – rev 5.0

VELBUS CHARACTERISTICS

• 2-wire communication for Velbus data and 2 wires for power supply

• data transmission: 16.6 Kbit/s

• Serial data protocol: CAN (Controller Area Network)

• Short circuit proof (towards negative or positive pole of the power supply)

• LED indication when receiving or transmitting data over the Velbus

• bus error indication: 2 short flashes of the LEDs

• auto recovering after 25 seconds when a bus error occurs

The temperature controller module can be given a designation with a maximum of 16 characters.

The temperature controller module can transmit following messages:

• the current time

• the output status of the alarm clock

• the controller status

• the controller type (including software version)

• the controller name

• the communication error counter

• a program instruction

• the memory content

The temperature controller module can transmit following instructions:

• Request the:

o

module type (to search for sensors)

o

current
