1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Vcolor is a range of programmable remote user interfaces.
Through the interfaces it is possible to manage the
programmable controllers belonging to the c-pro 3 range also
at a distance, in particular the blind versions.
The user interface consists of a color touch-screen TFT graphic
display, it can be developed through the UNI-PRO 3
development environment and guarantees an IP40 protection
rating (IP65 in case of panel mounting with gasket
0027000007, to order separately), for easy cleaning.
They can work both as browser of programmable controllers
(browsers) and in commander mode, getting the controllers
(slaves) to serve the commands coming from the interface.
The interfaces can easily be integrated both in residentia l and
in commercial environments; at their front it is possible to
apply the frontal plates CPVP EVCO (to order separately) or
the plates belonging to the series "Living" and to the series
"Light" BTicino.
Installation is by panel, built-in (in box like “506e” BTicino) or
by wall (in wall mounting support CPVW00 EVCO, to order
separately).

7.6 Configuring an element of a
CAN network with CANBUS
communication protocol
To configure an element of a CAN network with CANBUS
communication protocol, operate as follows:
1. Disconnect the power supply of the device and of
the other element of the network.
2. Connect the device to the other element of the
network through the CAN communication port;
look at chapter 3 “WIRING DIAGRAM”.
3. Connect the power supply of the device and of the
other element of the network.
4. Set the configuration parameter Network Node
with the procedure shown in paragraph 7.4
“Setting the configuration parameters of the menu
“Networks””.
According to the factory settings the CAN address
of a controller is 1 (in this case it is necessary to
set parameter Network Node to [1] 1) and the
CAN address of an I/O expansion is 2 (in this case
it is necessary to set the parameter Network Node
to [2] 2).
5. Press and release over and over again the area
“ESCAPE” as long as the display shows the menu
“Network Status(CAN)”.
6. Press and release the area “DOWN” to select the
element of the network.
7. Press and release the area “ENTER”: the display
will show the main menu of the element of the
network.
8. Configure the element of the network with the
procedures shown in chapter 7
“CONFIGURATION”.
Switch off/on the power supply of the element of the
network after the configuration.
Showing the menu “Network Status(CAN)”
