1. BASIC CONCEPTS
• Each line can be composed of at most 128 devices and needs one or two power supplies depending on the number of devices and the length of the bus.
• Using line couplers, a number of lines can be connected to each other, up to a maximum of 15 areas x 15 lines; the line couplers allow only authorized messages
to pass between one line and another.
• Maximum of 15 areas.
• On each By-me control panel it is possible to configure up to 254 devices.
System configuration starts with the creation of functional groups (it is better to think in terms of functional groups rather than individual devices), which is the only
operation strictly necessary for the system to function. During the installation phase, the first operation is therefore to assume the functions that are to be made
available.
2. INSTALLATION TOPOLOGY.
The main characteristic of the
By-me
system is that all devices are connected to each other by a bus system cable (pair) that supplies the devices with the power and the signals
carrying the digital control and monitoring data.
Warning:
• On a line where a control panel has already been configured (21509) it is not possible to configure a second control panel.
• The system is configured through the control unit and the configuration buttons located on the devices.

2.1 System setup.
During the design phase, it is essential to arrange for a switchboard with sufficient capacity to hold:
• conventional devices, magneto-thermal protections, circuit-breakers, etc;
• 1 or 2 power supplies with capacity for 8 EN 50022 modules;
• EN 50022 rail devices such as the load control module, web server, interfaces;
• surge protection devices to protect the installation;
• it is advisable to use a dedicate cable trough for the corrugated tubes that carry the Vimar 01840.E cable for the Bus line; however, the ones that carry the mains power cables
can also be used;
• the devices do not have to be connected in any particular order, maintaining the polarities indicated on the terminals. Linear type connections (figure 1), star type connections
(figure 2) or mixed connections (figure 3) are possible (the rectangle in the figures represents the power supply). The ideal configuration is the linear type with only one power
supply in the middle of the system, or two power supplies at the ends of the bus cable.
