Giacomini
The Giacoklima bus system equipped with the KM203 network controller allows for remote control and supervision, via Serial communication, of the whole heating/cooling framework.
Contents
Communication
Connect HSYCO to the KM203 controller employing an RS485 gateway.
RS-232 parameters:
Baud rate | 19200 |
Data bits | 8 |
Stop bit | 1 |
Parity | none |
Flow control | none |
The Giacoklima bus architecture
This image illustrates an example of the system architecture: The RS485 port is on the top left corner of the KM203 interface as shown in the picture above.
HSYCO Configuration
Options
ID | Default | Values | Description |
---|---|---|---|
gui | true | true | enable support for the UI object, UISET actions and USER commands |
false | disable UI support | ||
startupevents | false | true | generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase |
false | start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system | ||
pollinterval | 1 | n > 0 | the data acquisition interval, in seconds |
The Giacoklima bus architecture
The gkbus.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the main directory (same directory as hsyco.ini or hsyco.jar).
Here you must add a line for each thermostat belonging to the framework and optionally specify a descriptive name of the corresponding area.
Use the format “<ioserver_id>.k<n>.<addr> = name”, where <ioserver_id> is the id of the referred I/O server, <n> is the number of the KPM20 module the thermostat is connected to and <addr> is the secondary address of the thermostat.
For instance:
gk.k0.0 = Kitchen gk.k0.1 = Bedroom gk.k1.0 = Entrance

User Interface
You can use a tempmini object to create a thermostat-equivalent interface. Set the Server ID field to the I/O Server’s name and specify the address of the thermostat (K483 module) in the Address field using the format “k<n>.<addr>” where <n> is the number of the KPM20 module the thermostat is connected to and <addr> is its address (e.g. k0.1 represents the second thermostat connected to the first KPM20):
