nBus is NETIO’s built-in communication system extension allowing devices talk to each other directly, without needing the cloud or a separate controller. It supports NETIO device “daisy chaining” of multiple PDUs devices to form one big MultiPDU
Key Features
Device-to-Device Communication with 32 outputs is MultiPDU:
- NETIO devices connected via nBus can exchange commands and status informationwith one another. Only a single IP address and one RJ45 Ethernet cable are required for installation. The LAN connection is provided solely to the primary device, while allother devices operate as secondary devices, receiving information from the primary.
- MultiPDU can operate up to a total of 32 outputs.
- MultiPDU can be built from different devices families.
- Users will view all outputs in 1 web interface.
Integration with NETIO Features and NETIO Toolbox:
- nBus supports the set of unique features known as NETIO Toolbox.
- User is able to configure Condition & Rules, WatchDog, Schedulers and energy monitoring in every output.
- nBus supports independent outputs control ON/OFF/RESTART.
Grouping and Sequencing:
- One of the main features of nBus is balancing the PowerSequence within the system by using independent outputdelays to reduce peak inrush current.
- Users can setup several Groups of outputs from different devices and customize PowerUp delay
NETIO Cloud and 3rd party system integration:
- MultiPDU supports all Open API.
Solution Highlights
- Max 32 outputs in total **
- Max 10 devices in total **
- Max distance 10 m in total
- Combination of different devices (metered/non-metered)
- MultiPDU uses one RJ45 (Ehternet)/IP address
- PowerUp Sequence – all outputs
- Condition & Rules all outputs
- nBus connection cable can be ordered separately
- nBus is galvanically isolated (can be used with 3-phase family)
** Deviations shall be discuss with support.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- LED WALLs installations (Power OFF/ ON/ RESTART with dedicated output sequence control)
- Midsize/ Large AV instalation requiring dedicated PowerUp sequence
- Midsize / Large IT instalation as Data Center requiring multiple outputs PDUs
- Instalation requiring combination metering and smart power switching device
FAQs
How should I recognize my NETIO device supports nBus function?
The NETIO device has nBus logo identification on the device label and in the DI (digital input) description
Does nBus support functionality between different NETIO device types?
Yes, nBus works with different types of devices, including combination on metering and non-metering devices
