Occupancy Function IN485HIT001R000 Gateway 7.2. Occupancy Function IMPORTANT The Occupancy function is only available for BACnet. The Occupancy function determines the AC unit's behavior depending on the presence or absence of people in the room. This signal is processed directly in the Intesis gateway and has the capacity to modify three parameters of the AC system: Setpoint, Mode, and On/Off.

Ambient Temperature and Virtual Temperature Function IN485HIT001R000 Gateway 9. Ambient Temperature and Virtual Temperature Function The IN485HIT001R000 gateway enables the use of a temperature sensor from the BACnet/Modbus-based BMS. The reason for using this sensor could be that it is better positioned than the sensor in the indoor unit or the wired remote controller.
Page 68
IN485HIT001R000 Gateway Ambient Temperature and Virtual Temperature Function Set the Hitachi AC system to read the temperature provided by the sensor inside the wired RC. NOTE This configuration must be performed by a Hitachi authorized installer through the remote controller. At this point, the indoor unit could report an error warning that there is an abnormality in the wired RC's thermistor.
Page 69
Ambient Temperature and Virtual Temperature Function IN485HIT001R000 Gateway In practical terms, when you write a value in the BACnet object RoomTemperature_command (Analog Output)/ Modbus register Input sensor temperature (protocol address register 22 / PLC address register 23), the gateway activates the Virtual Temperature function, using this value to recalculate the indoor unit's reference temperature.
Page 70
IN485HIT001R000 Gateway Ambient Temperature and Virtual Temperature Function Read the temperature value reported by a temperature sensor from the BMS side. Write this value in the BACnet object RoomTemperature_command (Analog Output)/Modbus register Input sensor temperature (protocol address register 22 / PLC address register 23). NOTE At this point, the Virtual Temperature function is automatically activated.
Considerations on Temperature Signals IN485HIT001R000 Gateway Pay special attention to the BACnet object RoomTemperature_command (Analog Output)/Modbus register Input sensor temperature (protocol address register 22 / PLC address register 23), which are dedicated to write the value reported by the BMS sensor. NOTE The following section provides an extended explanation of all the BACnet objects/Modbus registers dedicated to the temperature signals and to the Virtual Temperature function.
Page 72
IN485HIT001R000 Gateway Considerations on Temperature Signals NOTE ** This Modbus register may be missing in your gateway since it is only implemented in the 485 series. However, the Virtual Temperature function is not dependent on this register, and it is available in your gateway if its order code is listed in the note at the beginning of this section.
