Configuration Objects
The following objects and group objects should be typically used for configuration purposes:
General Options 1 Group GRP 45 and its complete list of objects;
General Options 2 Group GRP 55 and its complete list of objects;
Humidity Models Config Options Group GRP 69 and its complete list of objects;
Output Configuration Options Group GRP 74 and its complete list of objects.
If your BAS allows you to remove objects, Viconics recommends removing all configuration objects once
your setup is complete. This will prevent unnecessary network polling and traffic.
Wiring guide
Overview
Viconics uses EIA-485 as the physical layer between their devices and supervisory controllers
For clarity we will use the term “Device” to represent any product with an active EIA-485 network
connection, including Viconics and non-Viconics controllers.
