Management system for managing a set of electrical devices

A system for managing a set of electrical/electronic devices, comprising a basic control unit adapted to act as an interface between a remote control unit/Master unit and a plurality of electrical/electronic devices to be controlled, the basic control unit comprising:

• a data input arranged to receive 0 to 10 Vdc inputs from the remote control unit/Master unit and a plurality of data outputs connectable with respective electrical/electronic devices of the plurality of electrical/electronic devices;
• and
• a memory unit including program instructions adapted to transform the inputs from the remote control unit/Master unit into management signals to be output through the data outputs for the plurality of electrical/electronic devices,
• wherein, by means of the management signals, the basic control unit is configured to:
• automatically address the electrical/electronic devices;
• automatically program operating parameters of the electrical/electronic devices;
• and
• manage the operation of the electrical/electronic devices,
• wherein the management signals comprise addressing, programming and management commands that are previously programmed in the memory unit based on specific applications and communication protocols,
• wherein the basic control unit is configured to make the program instructions activatable upon connection of the system with the remote control unit/Master unit for the addressing, programming and management operations,
• wherein the basic control unit is configured to manage each of the data outputs independently from the other data outputs, so as to manage the addressing, programming and management operations of each of the electrical/electronic devices automatically and independently,
• wherein, through the program instructions, the basic control unit is further configured to transform the 0 to 10 Vdc inputs so that the management signals emitted by the data outputs are based on one or more operating Modbus protocols for the communication with the electrical/electronic devices, the operating Modbus protocols being defined and stored based on the communication protocol of the electrical/electronic devices,
• wherein the basic control unit is configured to execute hardware and/or software commands and to automatically adapt hardware/software input into the proper operating Modbus protocol, and
• wherein the Modbus protocols are at least one of an ebm-papst protocol or a ziehl-abegg protocol, said protocol being selectable based on the electrical/electronic device to be managed.
