Individual room control with the VL-700 BASE

Together with the pre-installed ECS (EnOcean Control Center) software, the IoT Edge controller VL-700 BASE also serves as a local individual room controller for up to 16 rooms. Actuators, temperature sensors, window contacts and local setpoint adjusters can be easily assigned to a room. In addition, different setpoints for the time-dependent room temperatures can be parameterized.

Flexible solution for individual room control

The components at a glance

The following devices can be flexibly configured per room for individual room control:

Radiator valve / actuator

Energy supply via energy harvesting Temporary via USB Adapter for different valve makes

Temperature sensor

Measuring range: 0°C .. 60° C Accuracy: +/- 0.3 °C Repeatability: 0.1 °C

Window contact

Detection: 1x lateral, 1x frontal Values: 1 / 0

Room operating unit

Adjustment range -3 / +3 °C

All data at a glance

All data from up to 500 actuators, sensors and room operating units are available at any time for commissioning and servicing. Signal strength of the telegrams received, associated device profile (EEP), EnOcean ID / EURID, raw data and telegram counter.

The radiator valve in detail

For diagnostics, the user interface provides you with all available detailed information about the radiator valve. This includes the energy status, the last reported opening degree of the valve, the measured flow temperature and the assigned room.

Setup Slot 1-500

The drives and sensors are set up manually for testing or, in the case of a large number of actuators/sensors in the project, preferably as a file transfer via FTP/SFTP. This includes the EnOcean ID/EURID, the device profile/EEP, the “Friendly Name” as part of the JSON string for sending via MQTT and the assigned room (1..16). The timestamp of the last telegram received and the data received are also available here as information. The assigned EnoDisc® or the assigned Aruba Access Point is also entered here for sending data to actuators. The EnOcean ID under which the slot transmits is also set.

Full scalability thanks to MODBUS TCP

All relevant parameters and status data of up to 16 rooms are available via MODBUS TCP to a building automation system or a central operating device for read/write access. The system is therefore fully scalable and offers the option of flexible integration and system expansion in addition to stand-alone functionality. Further interfaces are currently being implemented (BACnet / KNX).
