1.3 About this functional profile

This functional profile describes the following modules and units:
• CIM/CIU 300 BACnet MS/TP
• CIM/CIU 500 Ethernet for BACnet IP.
For the following Grundfos products:
• Grundfos Level Control System LC 231
• Grundfos Level Control System LC 241
• Grundfos Level Control System LC 232
• Grundfos Level Control System LC 242
Note that the supported controllers are referred to as LC 2X1 and
LC 2X2 in this document.
Grundfos cannot be held responsible for any problems caused
directly or indirectly by using information in this functional profile.

1.4 Assumptions

This functional profile assumes that the reader is familiar with
commissioning and programming BACnet devices. The reader
should have some basic knowledge of the BACnet protocol and
technical specifications. It is also assumed that an existing BACnet
MS/TP or BACnet IP network is present.
