HomeVision Pro additions:
- 3 onboard user-controllable serial ports (primary port is the same as HomeVision 'std'), with the other 2 having the same capabilities. The external serial add-on boards cannot be used with HomeVision Pro, therefore, the maximum number of serial ports remains at 4 (3 built-in plus phone/serial device)
- has an additional serial port dedicated to special functions (users cannot control it like the other ports). It is functional in 3.43 software and at this time is enabled for use by the new generation A10 powerline carrier technology interface units (TI203-RS232)
- features a USB-to serial adapter for connecting to USB ports on a PC or a PC USB (using a USB to serial adapter) can be connected to any serial port on the Pro board
- 4 analogue inputs replicate the Multi-Expansion board (MEB) inputs and if 2 MEB's are connected, provides a total of 20 (16 on combined MEB and 4 onboard)
- supports digital inputs for temperature sensors in place of the digital inputs generally provided by the MEB with a revised circuitry that allows signal driving over much longer distances
- port A outputs (8) are single pole double throw (SPDT) power relays rated at 10Amps (125Vac), 6Amps (277Vac) or 5Amps (100Vdc)
- port B inputs are configured with switches that can be individually enabled or disabled with "pull-up" resistors which are "high" (this is the default status when nothing is connected) and enables simple "contact closure" programming to be undertaken. Therefore, if connecting an external voltage source, the internal resistors can be disabled to make the operation a lot easier
- infrared receive input jack plus 2 built-in IR receivers
- infrared outputs are also available on 2 connecting blocks for integration with an infrared network such as Xantech
- infrared outputs are 12Vdc (not 5Vdc as in the HomeVision 'std' unit) to provide higher current and simplicity of connection to OEM products
- there is no longer an onboard infrared emitter (present on the HomeVision 'std' unit)
- additional connector blocks for power, ground and other functions have been provided up to a total of 60 positions
- battery is a standard 'coin' type for ease of replacement
- direct connections can be made to Sylva boards or similar expansion I/O modules
- designed with an enhanced memory architecture that allows the processor to access more RAM and this enables future features to be easily developed
- the PCB design allows information to be processed faster than the HomeVision 'std' unit
- connectors and board space set-up is designed to enable future expansion capabilities plus the current OEM daughter board offers direct connection to ethernet via the lantronix micro box
- schedules created using the HomeVision 'std' software can be converted to HomeVision Pro software (automatically done if using HV XL software)
- regulated 12Vdc power supply is recommended (1.5Amp)
- has a total of 43 LED's to assist in visual recognition of
current operating status and consists of;
- all digital I/O ports
- transmit and receive on each of 3 serial and 1 USB ports
- digital temperature sensor
- power indicator
- powerline carrier (A10/10) receive, send and transmit
- both infrared receive and transmit jacks
- 4 onboard processors
