The new UCM/Velbus connects directly to Velbus, ie 4 wires 12V, GND, CANH, CANL instead of to the Velbus VMB1RS RS232 Interface as in the previous version. The Velbus system is electrically isolated from the Comfort system.
This is a significant improvement in simplicity of wiring connection as well as increasing system reliability in not needing additional VMB1RS module and a RS232 cable, and also realises cost savings. It makes the Velbus system a more attractive candidate for system integrators to implement lighting, blinds and heating control with Comfort.
Up to 512 Velbus channels are supported

- VMB1BL - 1 channel Blinds
