VELBUS:

2-wire communication for VELBUS data and 2 wires for power.
Data transfer: 16,6Kbit/s.
Serial data protocol: CAN (Controller Area Network)
Short-circuit proof (towards negative or positive of power)
Bus error indication: 2 x short flash of the operation mode led.
Self restoring after 25 seconds in case of a bus error.

Possibility to assign a name (max. 16 characters) which can be saved in the non-volatile memory.
The module can react to push button messages sent over the VELBUS.

A modification of the relay status will be reported on the VELBUS.
When modifying the relay status, the module will send instructions to adjust the status of the leds on the control
modules. Instructions will be accepted when calling up the module type, module name, module status, reading
from or writing to the non-volatile memory, switching on or off the relay and when starting or stopping the timer.
The module can respond with the module type, module name, module status or the contents from the memory.
