Room Information Network (Rin) - Price Antec controls CAVA Manual

Room Information Network (RIN)

What is the Room Information Network?
The Antec Controls Pace™ and Cava™ operate on a
distributed network called the Room Information Network
(RIN). Together, the Pace™ controllers operating in the
room will work to control room levels functions such as
temperature control, room occupancy, and room
pressurization. When used with Cava™, the fume hood
flows, face velocities, and status will be reported to the
room level controllers to ensure all room demands for
safety are being met.
Antec Toolbox also uses RIN for room level and fume hood
configuration. The user will connect to RIN to communicate
with each Pace™ and Cava™ to configure their
functionality.
Network Addressing
All Cava™ devices will come from the factory with
predefined MAC addresses. If a Fume Hood Valve Module
(FVM) is connected during Cava™ setup, the device will
populate with a unique name based on the valve tag in the
FVM's linestring. If no FVM is connected, or a different
naming convention is required, the name is customizable
from the settings menu.

RIN consists of a 4-wire network architecture (RX-, RX+,
TX-, TX+) using a daisy-chain connection between each
device on the network segment. A RIN segment has a limit
of:
•
24 total RIN devices (Pace™ and Cava™)
•
16 Cava™ devices
•
A maximum length of 150 feet (45 meters)
between each device.
Users will require an Ethernet Port or a USB-A to Ethernet
