CONNECTION For connection between the modules, use twisted pair cable (ex. EIB 2x2x0.8mm2, UTP 8x0.51mm - CAT5 or other). Use minimum 0.5mm² cable. For long wiring (>50m) or if a lot of modules ( > 10) are connected to one wire, use 1mm² cable. Connect the 12-18Vdc (mind the polarity) and connect the bus wires (mind the polarity). Connect the module to a COM port of the computer. You may use a Velleman serial cable, type CW014. H VMB1RS H L BUS + 12V - -12V+ 9-POLE SUBD L BUS TWISTED PAIR (0.
USE Connect the module to the VELBUS system and the computer (see Connexion). Run a computer programme allowing you to communicate with the VELBUS system. You can also write a programme of your own. When powering the module, a ‘Bus active’ and ‘Reception ready’ message will be sent to the computer. All messages appearing on the VELBUS system will also be sent serially to the computer. Valid commands generated by the computer will be sent to the module via the COM port.
