IntesisTM INMBSPAN001I100 User’s Manual r1.2 EN 1. Presentation The INMBSPAN001I100 interfaces allow a complete and natural integration of Panasonic air conditioners into Modbus RTU (EIA485) networks. Compatible with all models of Etherea line. Check the section 6 for more information. Reduced dimensions. 93 x 53 x 58 mm // 3.7” x 2.1” x 2.3” • Quick and easy installation. • External power not required. • Direct connection to Modbus RTU (EIA-485) networks.
IntesisTM INMBSPAN001I100 User’s Manual r1.2 EN 2. Connection The interface comes with a specific cable and connectors to establish direct connection with the AC indoor unit. It comes as well with a plug-in terminal block of 2 poles to establish direct connection with the Modbus RTU EIA-485 network. 2.1 Connect to the AC indoor unit To connect the INMBSPAN001I100 interface with the AC indoor unit you must follow these steps: Disconnect Mains Power from the AC unit.
IntesisTM INMBSPAN001I100 User’s Manual r1.2 EN 3. Quick Start Guide 1. Disconnect the air conditioning from the Mains Power. 2. Attach the interface next to the AC indoor unit (wall mounting) following the instructions of the diagram below or install it inside the AC indoor unit (respect the safety instructions given). 3. Connect the connection cable included with the interface between the interface and the AC indoor unit following the instructions of the diagram. 4.
IntesisTM INMBSPAN001I100 User’s Manual r1.2 EN 4. Modbus Interface Specification 4.1 Modbus physical layer INMBSPAN001I100 implements a Modbus RTU (Slave) interface, to be connected to an EIA-485 line. It performs 8N2 communication (8 data bits, no parity and 2 stop bit) with several available baud rates (2400 bps, 4800 bps, 9600 bps, 19200 bps, 38400 bps, 57600 bps, 76800 bps and 115200 bps). It also supports 8N1 communication (8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit). 4.

IntesisTM INMBSPAN001I100 • User’s Manual r1.2 EN AC unit external temperature reference (Modbus) (R/W) (register 22 – in Protocol address / register 23 – in PLC address): This register allows us to provide an external temperature reference from the Modbus side. Panasonic indoor unit does not allow on devices like INMBSPAN001I100 to provide directly temperature to be used as a reference of the control loop of the AC indoor unit.
IntesisTM INMBSPAN001I100 • User’s Manual r1.2 EN ▪ The mechanism of “Virtual Temperature” is applied. The temperature setpoint’s value shown by the Remote Controller or other Control System from Panasonic connected to the indoor unit may show a different value from the value shown in register 4/5. ▪ The User is not be able to change the setpoint using any Remote Controller from Panasonic, as setpoint of the indoor unit becomes exclusively controlled by the “Virtual Temperature” mechanism.
IntesisTM INMBSPAN001I100 User’s Manual r1.2 EN 4.3 DIP-switch Configuration Interface All the configuration values on INMBSPAN001I100 can be written and read from Modbus interface. Otherwise, some of them can also be setup from its on-board DIP-switch interface.
