The first four inputs in each IP Central Unit version can support up to four buttons thanks to the dedicated command board.

Communications with internal devices

The internal architecture of an office or room is modular, hence it can be configured as needed, adding or removing devices until reaching the desired performance. The Room BUS provides the communication and it can support a wide range of different devices, such as card readers (door opener, card-holder, stand alone), thermostats (LED, LCD, Yalos Touch), temperature probe, "Slave" IP Central Unit.

The Internet Service provided by the BUS IP is safer and more reliable than the wireless one. The IP Central Unit performs gateway and firewall functions, denying access to the automation net to the customer.

Finally, the IP Central Unit allows to use the traditional telephones in the room separating the appropriate lines in the IP BUS.

Configurator and Technical Specs

In order to evaluate the IP Central Unit configuration options, we create a simple Configurator able to represent the cabling of the IP Central Unit and its internal nodes.
Technical specs of the most common configurations are available.
