Testing digital features via the LIN BUS GUI tool

Digitalization is the future of HVAC – and LIN BUS is the key enabler of this journey. Unlike PWM with limited bandwidth, the LIN BUS communication protocol enables multiple data points to run together in parallel and allows an unlimited flow of information between the circulator and relevant components inside a heat pump, hybrid or boiler. 

This unlimited flow of data is the new standard for heating, allowing you to fully control your pump settings. It’s a significant step forward for intra-appliance communication that helps make sure pump systems can be managed with the highest efficiency and flexibility. 

Here’s a quick look at some of the LIN BUS benefits: 

1. Real-time pump system data

LIN BUS allows simultaneous access to multiple system data points across multiple products, enabling real-time performance monitoring and optimisation.

2. Alarms & warnings

You can get an alarm or warning notification when the circulator experiences a blockage or a drop in power supply, ensuring minimised downtime and peace of mind knowing that your system is always running smoothly and efficiently.  

3. Multiple pump configuration options

LIN BUS offers multiple pump system configuration options depending on requirements, including adjustable fallback, low flow and air detection settings. 

4. Circulator information for traceability

LIN BUS enables you to get detailed circulator information, including serial and product number and manufacturing time and date, to ensure transparency and traceability. 

And there’s even more to LIN BUS. In the video below, one of our group technical Key Account Managers, Klaus Frederiksen, guides you through the following: 

  • How you can control the circulator with LIN BUS.  
  • How you can configure your pump system with LIN BUS.
  • How much real-time data the circulator can provide, and how it shows on the LIN BUS interface.
  • How the system alarm and notification feature works in the event of pump blockage or power supply failures.
