Communication
Note!
In controllers with a firmware version lower than 1.05, the master controller receives the Subnet 1 address and node address 1 and is the decisive controller in LON network terms. It is the only controller that can send alarms over a modem.
9.7Sending outdoor temperatures and controller time
Two outdoor temperatures and the controller time can be sent over the LON bus which are taken on by all the other controllers. Any controller in the system can send these data. Either all the data can be sent by one controller or each piece of data can come from a separate controller. The controller time and the outdoor temperature are transmitted every four minutes. The out- door temperature is additionally transmitted if it changes by 0.5 °C. All controllers delete the values received over the bus ten minutes after the last update.
Sending the controller time
The controller time can be made available to all LON participants. They download the transmit- ted time and adopt it. The controller time can be sent with the setting Co7
