The Heatweb BEMS Hat runs from a 12v dc supply, generating 5v for the board, 24v for valves, and 36v for M-Bus, using on-board dc-dc converters backed up by a rechargeable battery. A coin cell is used to power a real-time clock.
WiFi, Ethernet and Bluetooth are provided by the parent controller board.
A number of the inputs are universal, and can be switched between NTC, 0-10v, or volt-free / pulse inputs (jumper selected). This ability to alter the hardware setup increases versatility significantly.
The addition of M-Bus allows us to connect to heat meters as standard, making the board a stand alone solution to open-sourcing meter data, and to use meter data within control logic.
The battery backup allows us to safely shut-down all valves and the controls when power is removed. This overcomes a common problem with HVAC systems, where valves typically remain open, destroying network performance.
