Page 4: Hardware/General
Hardware/General Hardware/General Function The control and monitoring interface (abbreviation: C.M.I.) is a web server that can create the connection between a LAN network and the controller UVR1611 with its CAN bus compo- nents. This device makes it possible to load function data into CAN bus devices, update and remote control them, illustrate online diagrams and log data. -
