i-Vu® Link
CIV-L
Network & Integration Device
Network device used to integrate Carrier and non-Carrier equipment with i-Vu®
The i-Vu Link module allows you to integrate other manufacturers’ equipment into the i-Vu Building Automation 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 Link module supports up to 500 third party BACnet, Modbus, or LonWorks points.
The i-Vu Link also provides BACnet routing capabilities between the i-Vu Building Automation System backbone (BACnet/IP), and a subnetwork of Carrier Comfort Network (CCN), controllers. It connects to the Ethernet LAN and provides access to a network of CCN controllers directly from an i-Vu web server that resides on the Ethernet. It also increases the capacity of the i-Vu System by allowing individual CCN networks, with up to 140 CCN controllers each, to be connected together via the i-Vu System backbone. The i-Vu Link also stores trend data and time schedules for the devices that are connected to it.
| Communication Ports | Port E1:10/100 BaseT Ethernet port for LAN, BACnet IP, and/or Modbus TCP/IP communications
Port S1: EIA-485 port for CCN Network and/or CCN Service Tool connection (9600 bps & 38.4 kbps) Port S2: Configurable EIA-485/EIA-232 port for third party network connections, including: • BACnet MS/TP @9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, and 76.8 kbps • Modbus (RTU and ASCII modes), @ 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, and 38.4 kbps • LonWorks (requires SLTA-10 adapter) @ 38.4 kbps and 57.6 kbps NOTE: Ports E1, S1 and S2 can operate simultaneously. |
| Protection | Incoming power and network connections are protected by non-replaceable internal solidstate polyswitches that reset themselves when the condition that causes a fault returns to normal. The power, network, input, and output 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 BACnet MS/TP communication, Ethernet port communication, and low battery status. 7-segment status display for running, error and power status. |
| Controller Addressing | Rotary DIP switches set address of Router. |
| Listed By | UL-916 (Canadian Std C22.2 No. 205-M1983), CE, FCC Part 15-Subpart B-Class A |
| Environmental Operating Range | Operating: 0° to 140°F (-18° to 60°C), 10-90% relative humidity, non-condensing
Storage: -24°F to 140°F (-30° to 60°C), 10-90% relative humidity, non-condensing |
| Power Requirements | 24VAC +/- 10%, 50-60Hz
24VA power consumption (30 VA with BACview) 26VDC (25V min, 30V max) Single Class 2 source only, 100VA or less |
| Physical | Rugged aluminum cover and removable screw terminal blocks. |
