Connectivity Board

APPLICATION

The optional Connectivity Board can be applied to the DucoBox Silent Connect, the DucoBox Focus, and the DucoBox Energy. This PCB enables interfacing with home automation and building management systems via REST API (locally or via the cloud) or ModBus TCP (locally). Both connection methods are possible via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The Connectivity Board also enables the use of the DUCO Installation App.

MOUNTING

Step 1: Isolate the DucoBox from the power supply.

Step 2: Click the Connectivity Board into the provided place within the DucoBox.

Step 3: Power the DucoBox.
