1. Presentation

The INMBSSAM001R100 interfaces allow a complete and natural integration of Samsung NASA air conditioners into Modbus RTU (EIA-

485) networks.

Reduced dimensions. 93 x 53 x 58 mm / 3.7” x 2.1” x 2.3”

Quick and easy installation.

Mountable on DIN rail, wall, or even inside the indoor unit of AC.

• External power not required.

• Direct connection to Modbus RTU (EIA-485) networks. Up to 63 INMBSSAM001R100 devices

can be connected in the same network.

INMBSSAM001R100 is a Modbus slave device.

• Direct connection to the AC unit.

• Configuration from both on-board DIP-switches and Modbus RTU.

• Total Control and Supervision.

• Real states of the AC unit's internal variables.

• Allows simultaneous use of the AC’s remote controls and Modbus RTU.

* Up to 63 Intesis devices can be installed in the same Modbus RTU bus. However, depending on the configured speed, the installation

of Modbus Repeaters may be required

• SCADA

• PLC

• DDC

• BMS

• HMI

• Controller

• etc

2. Connection

The interface comes with 1 plug-in terminal block of 2 poles to establish direct connection with the AC indoor unit. It comes as well with a plug-in terminal block of 2 poles to establish direct connection with the Modbus RTU EIA-485 network.

2.1 Connect to the AC indoor unit

The INMBSSAM001R100 connects directly to the Samsung Remote Controller Bus (F3F4 Connector). Depending on which controllers are available, the recommended connection’ methods are the following ones (details in Figure 2. 1):

• Wired remote control available. Connect the gateway as Slave in parallel with the

wired Remote Controllers (Remote Controller acts as Master).

• No remote control available Connect the gateway directly to the F3F4 bus of the

indoor unit as Master. There’s no Samsung Remote Controller.

Maximum F3F4 bus length is 100 m (328.08 ft). The communication F3F4 bus has polarity sensitivity.

Important: If a wired remote controller of the AC manufacturer is connected in the same bus, communication may shut down.

2.2 Connection to the EIA-485 bus

Connect the EIA-485 bus wires to the plug-in terminal block (the one labeled as EIA485) of INMBSSAM001R100 and keep the polarity on this connection (A+ and B-). Make sure that the maximum distance to the bus is 1,200 meters (3,937 ft). Loop or star typologies are not allowed in the case of the EIA-485 bus. A terminator resistor of 120Ω must be present at each end of the bus to avoid signal reflections. The bus needs a fail-safe biasing mechanism (see section 4.6 for more details).

3. Quick Start Guide

1. Disconnect the air conditioning from the Mains Power.

2. Attach the interface next to the AC indoor unit (wall mounting) following the instructions

of the diagram below or install it inside the AC indoor unit (respect the safety instructions given).

3. Connect the F3F4 bus between the interface and the AC indoor unit following the

instructions of the diagram. Screw each bare cable end in the corresponding F3F4 terminals.

4. Connect the EIA-485 bus to the connector EIA485 of the interface.

5. Close the AC indoor unit.

6. Check the DIP-Switch configuration of the Intesis interface and make sure it matches the

current installation’s parameters (see section 4.3).

By default, the interface is set to:

▪ Modbus Slave Address ➔ 1 ▪ Modbus baud rate ➔ 9600 bps

These parameters can be modified from SW4 and SW3 DIP-Switches.

All other switch positions are set at low level (Off position ) by default.

NOTE: All changes on the DIP-Switch configuration require a system power cycle to be applied.

7. Connect the AC system to Mains Power.

IMPORTANT: The Intesis interface requires to be connected to the AC unit (powered) to start communicating.
