MASTERBUS
2 MASTERBUS
2.1 WHAT IS MASTERBUS?
All devices that are suitable for MasterBus are
marked by the MasterBus symbol.
MasterBus is a fully decentralized data network for
communication between the different Mastervolt
system devices. It is a CAN-bus based communication
network which has proven itself as a reliable bus-
system in automotive applications. MasterBus is
used as power management system for all connected
devices, such as the inverter, battery charger,
generator and many more. This gives the possibility
for communication between the connected devices, for
instance to start the generator when the batteries are
low.
MasterBus reduces complexity of electrical systems
by using UTP patch cables. All system components
are simply chained together. Therefore each device is
equipped with two MasterBus data ports. When two
or more devices are connected to each other through
these data ports, they form a local data network, called
the MasterBus. The results are a reduction of material
costs as only a few electrical cables are needed and
less installation time.
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 CONNECTION
What you need:
MasterBus-Serial interface (included)
MasterBus connection cable (included, 6m)
RS232 crossed wire (included)
See gure 1
Insert the MasterBus connection cables into the
MasterBus data ports of the MasterBus–Serial
interface.
Connect the Serial connection cable between the
MasterBus–Serial interface and the Serial port of your
device.
Only the RS232 devices mentioned in chapter
4 are suitable for using the MasterBus–Serial
interface.
For central monitoring and control of the connected
devices Mastervolt offers a wide range of panels which
show full status information of your electrical system
at a glance and a push of a button. Four different
panels are available, from the small Mastervision
compatible 120 x 65mm LCD screen up to the full
colour MasterView System panel. All monitoring panels
can be used for monitoring, control and conguration of
all connected MasterBus equipment.
New devices can be added to the existing network
in a very easy way by just extending the network.
Mastervolt also offers several interfaces, making even
non-MasterBus devices suitable to operate in the
MasterBus network
For direct communication between the MasterBus
network and a product which is not from Mastervolt,
the Modbus interface is recommended.
CAUTION: Never connect a non-MasterBus
device to the MasterBus network directly!
This will void warranty of all MasterBus
devices connected.
For information how to set up a MasterBus network
refer to the manual of your MasterView display.
