i-Vu® Building Automation System i-Vu® Open Link
OVERVIEW
Network & Integration Device
Network device used to integrate BACnet® i-Vu® Building Automation System controllers with non-Carrier equipment supporting BACnet, Modbus® and Lonworks® protocols
The i-Vu Open Link allows you to integrate other manufacturer’s equipment into the i-Vu Open Control System. Support for BACnet, Modbus, and LonWorks protocols is standard, making it easy to tie in equipment such as VFDs, boilers, and lighting in order to complete your Carrier system. Each i-Vu Open Link module supports up to 500 third party BACnet, Modbus, or LonWorks points.
The i-Vu Open Link also provides BACnet routing capabilities between the i-Vu Open Control System backbone (BACnet/IP), and a subnetwork of Open controllers (BACnet MS/TP). It connects directly to the Ethernet LAN and provides access to a BACnet MS/TP network of Open controllers directly from an i-Vu Open web server that resides on the Ethernet. It also increases the capacity of the i-Vu Open Control System, allowing individual MS/TP networks (with up to 60 Open controllers each), to be connected together via the i-Vu Open Control System backbone.
FEATURES
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Additional integration capabilities allow you to manage the equipment that compliments your Carrier system, such as lighting, boilers, fire, and security
- Suports industry standard open protocols of BACnet, Modbus, and LonWorks
- 10/100Base-T Ethernet port connects directly to building LAN, and to other third party BACnet IP and Modbus TCP/IP networks
- Third party serial port connects directly to any BACnet MS/TP, Modbus, or LonWorks network
SPECIFICATIONS
| Communication Ports | Port E1: 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port for LAN, BACnet IP, and/or Modbus TCP/IP client communications Port S1: EIA-485 port for BACnet MS/TP communications (9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, & 76.8 kbps). i-Vu Open and third party BACnet MS/TP controllers can be connected to this port simultaneously as long as the baud rates are the same. Local Access port: For system start-up and troubleshooting or i-Vu Open Link Configuration (115.2 kbps); Port S2: Configurable EIA-485/EIA-232 port for connecting either: • Modbus Slaves (RTU & ASCII modes), @ 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, & 38.4 kbps. NOTE: The i-Vu Open Link functions as a Modbus Master only. • LonWorks network. NOTE that the i-Vu Open Link requires an SLTA-10 adapter (sold separately through Echelon Corporation), to connect to the LonWorks network. NOTE: Ports E1, S1, and S2 can operate simultaneously. |
| Protection | Incoming power and network connections are protected by non-replaceable internal solid-state polyswitches that reset themselves when the condition that causes a fault returns to normal. The power and network connections are also protected against voltage transient and surge events. |
| Real Time Clock | Battery-backed real-time clock |
| Battery | 10-year Lithium CR123A battery provides a maximum of 720 hours of time retention during power outages. To conserve battery life, battery backup turns off after a specified number of days defined in the module driver. |
| Status Indicators | LED status indicators for Power, Port S1 (BACnet) communication, Port S2 (Third Party) communication, Ethernet port communication, archive valid, brownout, and low battery status. 7-segment module status display for running, error, and formatting status. |
