Protocols and connectivity

For the first time ever on a CAREL supervisor, boss introduces the BACnet protocol,
the leading protocol in HVAC supervision applications.

Integration of third party devices

This new feature significantly increases the possibility to integrate third party
devices. The BACnet Master protocol is available in both MS/TP (RS485) and TCP/IP
modes, and together with the Modbus RS485 and Modbus TCP/IP protocols, these
too available on boss, offers the possibility to interact with the widest range of
devices in the HVAC/R sector.

BACnet®/Modbus®

BMS integration
In addition to Master mode, the BACnet protocol is also available on boss in TCP/
IP Slave mode, allowing boss to be integrated into a higher-level BMS, sharing the
values of interest for overall building management (e.g. unit status, alarm status,
ON/OFF controls,...)

Refrigeration applications
Optimisation of retail systems
In addition to all the functions of a standard supervisor, boss all includes functions
for managing refrigeration units and interaction between units, meaning not only is
the system controlled, but also optimised in terms of thermodynamic performance
and energy consumption.
CAREL’s extensive and in-depth knowledge of these applications has also led to
the development of user interfaces that are configured based on the type of user
(i.e. installer, maintenance personnel, system manager) and the type of use, so as
ensure simpler and faster commissioning.

BACnet®/Modbus®
Air-conditioning applications
Optimisation of HVAC systems
Extensive configurability, customisation of maps and the introduction of new
protocols, above all BACnet, as well as the possibility to communicate with other
devices via Ethernet, make boss ideal for HVAC applications.
The supervisor can also interface with other BMS systems, for example in large
buildings where the main BMS manages those systems that are not included
among the functions handled by boss (security, fire safety,…).
In this case, boss manages the HVAC systems, providing specific data that
create added value for the end customer, and then sharing with the
main BMS only the information needed to understand system status.
Customised graphics
User interfaces that can be customised according to the way in which information is
managed by different users

With the c.web tool, system status and

the main variables relating to each
controller can be represented using
customised graphics. Indeed c.web
offers several powerful features, such
as the creation of vectorial images that
can adapt to all screen sizes on both
desktop and mobile devices without
losing resolution, the possibility to
develop customised animated widgets
in just a few clicks, and the reusability
of graphic libraries developed for one
project inside another.

The same hardware is suitable for all applications

The absence of an internal fan and heat dissipation ensured by a robust aluminium
casing mean boss can be installed in many different environments, even industrial
environments in which conditions are unfavourable.
