Brink Connect
MOD-bus 846811 Modul Connect
General
Connecting a Brink Excellent heat recovery (HRV) appliance to a Modbus
network, for instance a building automation system (BAS), requires an
interface. This interface, called “Brink Connect”, allows communication
between the Brink HRV appliance and a Modbus network. The interface described
here is only suitable for communication between a Brink HRV appliance with
UWA control PCB (with software version from S1.06.06) and a Modbus network.
The interface comes with a 1,5 m long connecting cable for connecting the
“Brink Connect” to an Excellent HRV appliance.
Note: It is not possible to use a control unit, humidity sensor or
multiple switch in combination with a Brink Connect interface on the Brink HRV
Excellent. If the Brink Connect is used exclusively for reading out values,
the control module/Brink Air Control and multiple switch can still be used.
The system does support an rebus CO2 sensor (code 532196 – 4 sensors max.)
that is connected to the HRV appliances.
If the Brink HRV-appliances are cascaded, the Brink Connect must be connected
to the Master appliance.
Application
Brink Connect (Interface module I2C<>Modbus) allows making a connection
between an RS485 interface and an I2C interface. That way products or
installations that do not have a Modbus interface as standard can still be
incorporated into a Modbus network using a (free) I2C interface.
Then a new Modbus slave address between 1 and 247 can be entered at register
address 1000, using function code 0x06, write single register When entered
correctly, the Modbus slave address will directly be active.
The standard register address is 1000; Dependent on the program used, it may
have shifted 1 step (999 or 1001). After changing the slave address, you must
call up this address using function code 0x03 and then check whether the
changed address is correct. Then the power to the Brink Connect must be
switched off. Now the slave address has been changed correctly.

Connecting Brink Connect to Reno vent Excellent / Sky
Procedure connecting HRV appliance to building automation system
- Connect the HRV appliance to the Brink Connect module and the building automation system as shown in the above diagram.
- Remove the Modbus RS485 termination resistor if not necessary! If several Brink Connects are used in one line, no more than 2 resistors (RS485) may be installed in the line.
- Connect the HRV appliance/building automation system to the mains.
- If required, set values at the HRV appliance through the display or a – for a Sky appliance temporary connected – control unit or Brink service tool
- Observe the following steps when connecting several Brink Connect modules:
– Connect the first Brink Connect module to the building automation system.
– Change the Modbus slave address via Modbus address 1000 into a unique address.
– Repeat the above steps for each Brink Connect module to be connected.

Setting/controlling HRV appliance through building automation system
If, in addition to reading out the HRV appliance, you also want to control it
using the building automation system, the Modbus address 6013 must be set to
4. Then the required air flowrate can be set (Modbus address 6001 for HRV with
constant flow fans.
Note: If the HRV appliance has been disconnected from the mains, Modbus
address 6013 and the desired air flowrate must be set again.
