icomfortt Thermostat Terms and Acronyms
Subnet Controller (SC): (part of the communicating thermostat) Local device that controls the system.
Subnet: A part of the communication network that contains devices to control one functional HVAC system.
RSBus − Residential Serial Bus − the means for transmitting data within the communicating system.
Controller Area Network Protocol: Rules for networking, for transmis- sion and receipt of information between communicating systems.
Baud Rate: Maximum speed of BUS 40K baud.
Byte: 8 bits of information transmitted on the RSBus.
Integrated Furnace Control (IFC): Communicating control for furnace. IFC controls ignition, CAI, blower, and monitors all safety features in the unit.
Air Handler Control (AHC): Communicating control for air handler units. AHC controls operation of blower, heat strips, and monitors all safety features in the unit.
HP Control (Defrost Control) (UC): Communicating defrost control. UC controls low and high speed compressor operation, defrost opera-
tions, fan motor, and reversing valve and monitors all safety features in the unit.
AC Control: Communicating air conditioning control. AC controls low and high speed compressor operation, fan motor operation, and all safe- ty monitors in the unit.
Discharge Air Sensor (DAS): Communicating discharge air sensor. Provides discharge air temperature to Bus, UI, and IFC for proper opera- tion of equipment.
R:24V power
C:24V common
i+: + data information connection
i−: − data information connection
Configuration: Function that accrues during setup of system to identify other communicating devices. Configuration is also used in setup of a variable capacity furnace to properly set furnace parameters.
Memory Fault Recall: Method of checking for errors
Firmware: Software stored on a memory chip instead of being part of a program
Software: Programming and applications for computer
