Gateways for building management systems (BMS)
3.4 Gateways for building management systems (BMS)
3.4.1 HC-A(8/64)MB
HC-A8MB and HC-A64MB are the new interfaces which allow an easy integration of HITACHI Air Conditioning installations
to a MODBUS BMS by providing full management control of Air Conditioning installation to the BMS controllers.
•
HC-A8MB and HC-A64MB include new parameters compared with current HC-A32MB:
-
Gas pipe temperature reading
-
Liquid pipe temperature reading
-
Compressor stop cause
-
Indoor unit expansion valve opening
-
Ambient temperature
-
Remote control switch temperature
Remote sensor temperature
-
•
Two different available gateways for small and medium installations (nº. of indoor units):
-
HC-A8MB: max. 8 indoor units
-
HC-A64MB: max 64 indoor units (max. indoor units quantity increased from 32 units in previous version)
•
Only 1 HC-A(8/64)MB can be connected to an H-LINK system.
•
Many BMS Systems have gateways to MODBUS system. Therefore, HC-A(8/64)MB can be used to connect to differ-
ent BMS.
•
Easy installation: HC-A(8/64)MB is provided with a DIN rail 35 mm structure for a faster assembly.
•
Connectable ports:
-
RS485 Modbus
-
Modbus/TCP (Ethernet)
•
Device setup by a smart computer application for a better system configuration.
