5LonWorks®To establish communication with a network with the LonWorks®protocol, is needed a FTT RS485serial card.The supervisory program isstored in flash memory and canbe programmed directly from theLonWorks ® network by usingtools such as LonMaker ®.BACnet TMTo establish communication with a network with the BACNet TMMSTP protocol is needed a BACnet TM RS485 serial card.Konnex (KNX)A network with the Konnex protocol needs a Konnex serial card.This open standard enables theconnection and integration ofdevices in building automationapplications both at the commercialand at the residential level.Configuration by the integrator.This open standard, developed byASHRAE, enables air conditioningand heating systems for homesand buildings to be connected forthe sole purpose of performingintelligent energy management.Configuration by the integrator.Supervision solutionsDifferent solutions of supervision are available bases on thedimensions of the installation for unit fitted with Ethernet pCOWeb and RS485 Carel / Modbus cards:pCO WebIt is the solution for the management and supervision of a singleunit if this incorporates the Ethernet pCO Web card.BOSSThis is the solution for the management and supervision of air-conditioning installations with up to 300 units. Integrated HotspotWi-Fi.It offers advanced monitoring and maintenance functions andallows zones and groups to be created to simplify the managementof the installation. It also allows energy meters to be integrated tomonitor the installation electricity consumption.BOSS is available in two versions:● CPU device.● CPU device, monitor, keyboard and screen.For this option, each unit needs one RS485 Carel / Modbus board.PlantWatchPRO3This is a solution designed for the monitoring of small and medium-size installations, capable of manage up to 30 units. Suitable fortechnical environments, no parts are in movement. It’s availablein two versions: panel and wall.Includes: 7 “ touch display, buzzer for notifications, 1 USB port and1 SD card slot for downloading reports, charge devices modelsand applying service packs.For this option, each unit needs one RS485 Carel / Modbus board.1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION1.8. Communication in a pLAN networkA pLAN network (“50FC” Local Area Network) allows data andinformation to be exchanged between units, for a maximum of15 units. This enables the reduction of the number of graphicterminals, since a single shared terminal can monitor all boardsin the network.Characterisc of the network: communications standard: RS485;transmission speed: 65,2 Kbit/s; maximum network length: 500 m.Additional components:● Private graphic terminals: it is possible to add the samenumber of terminals that the number of existing units in thenetwork.● Shared sensors: in a pLAN network with the appropriatefacility’s conditions, the value measured by some sensorsinstalled on the master unit can be shared with the slave units.These sensors are: outdoor temperature, ambient temperature,outdoor humidity, ambient humidity and CO 2 air quality.The pLAN network must be composed, at least, by the followingcomponents:● A control board for each unit integrated into the network. Themaximum number of units in the aforementioned network is 15.One of the units is configured as the master unit in the networkand the other units are configured as slaves.● A Graphic terminal which is configured as shared terminal. Allboards integrated into the network can be monitored from thisterminal.“50FC” 1 “50FC” 2 “50FC” 15Master unit, address 1 Slave unit, address 2 Slave unit, address 15Graphic terminal(shared)Graphic terminal(private)Graphic terminal(private)These systems are used to manage the installation remotely.All the information on the system can be accessed via a simpleInternet connection. The online interface, the same one used bythe local user, enables monitoring and complete configuration of theinstallation: from the office or anywhere else the user happens to be.To control multiple sites remotely, there are special tools dedicated tocentralized management, such as RemotePRO and RemoteValue.
