There are a number of different components available for designing your EmpirBus™ system.
The core component is the EmpirBus™ master unit. The EmpirBus™ master unit can be equipped with a number of different slave modules. The slave modules added to an EmpirBus™ master unit decides the functions that will be available on that particular unit. Up to four different slave modules can be equipped in one unit.
The EmpirBus™ master units is connected via a 1-pair bus cable. The bus is based on CAN, which is a widely accepted communication standard, known for safe operation even in very harsh environments.
Slave Modules
8DO-B-01 & 8DO-B-02 (Digital Output Modules)
The output slave module is the power distribution component of EmpirBus™. The module has 8 outputs with automatic fuse functionality. Each channel can deliver up to 8A continously and several channels can be parallelled for large consumers. Any output in the system can be configured as a dimmer. The 8DO-B-02 is equipped with extra physical fuses for ABYC fuse regulation compliance.
8DI-B-01 (Digital Input Module)
The input slave module is used to connect regular switches to control functions in the system. The module has 8 inputs. Each input also has the capability to control LED lights for running indications.
8RO-B-01 & 8RO-B-02 (Relay Output Modules)
The relay slave module is used to simulate swithes to control different types of equipment. The module has 8 potential free relays.
4IS-B-01 (Window Wiper Module)
The window wiper slave module is used to control window wiper motors. The module has the capacity to control 4 different wiper motors in both low and high speed mode. There is also an interval and a parking feature. All wipers in the system will automatically synchronize in interval mode.
DU-B-01 (Dimmer Module for Running Indications)
The dimmer module for running indications is used to control the light level of the running indications of the input slave module. This module is NOT needed/used to dim standard lights. The dimmer feature of standard lights is built into the output module.
Stand Alone Modules
8MS-B-01 (Membrane Switch Panel)
The EmpirBus™ membrane panel is a stand alone module (not inserted into an EmpirBus™ master unit). The panel has 8 switches and it can eliminate the need for both traditional switches and the EmpirBus input modules. The panel is connected directly to the CAN-bus making the connection very quick and simple.
