VELBUS INSTALLATION GUIDE
Velbus is a bus system. This means that only four cable cores are required in
order to control the whole system. (Two power supply conductors and two
data conductors).The data bus is based on the CAN bus, as commonly used in
the automotive industry and as such is proven to be very stable and reliable.
Bus lengths of several hundreds of meters are possible!
PRINCIPLE
The simplest setup would consist of just two modules: an input and an output
module.
Input modules process the information coming from the outside world. Push-
buttons, switches, sensors, etc. send their status to the bus in small commands
or packets of data.
Output modules interpret these commands and control lighting, heating, air
conditioning, electrical outlets, shutters, etc. via relays, dimmers or low voltage
signals. The conditions of these output modules are then fed back (fully
customizable) to the LEDs in buttons or panels.
