Airzone
Airzone is a control framework for ducted air conditioning systems which allows for the control of several zones independently.
This I/O server provides support for this Airzone systems: INNOBUS, FLEXA, ANTREE and CEN (ModBus protocol before year 2020).
Communication
Airzone communicates with HSYCO through a modbus connection employing a RS-485 gateway.
RS-485 parameters:
| Baud rate | 19200 |
| Data bits | 8 |
| Stop bit | 1 |
| Parity | even |
| Flow control | none |
HSYCO Configuration
Add an AIRZONE I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
- Comm ID: the modbus gateway the device is connected to and its modbus address (separated by
/). You can both specify the IP address of the gateway or the name of the corresponding CommPort.
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.

USER Commands
To send a user command to the I/O Server just set the name to the ID of a writable (W) datapoint and the parameter to one of the possible values.
For instance, setting the name of a user button to <ioserver_id>.z1.power and its param field to 'flip', will result in having a switch for zone 1. Naming it <ioserver_id>.z1.mode with a valid working mode as param (e.g. 'stop' or 'cold') will result in a button for setting the mode of the zone.
Airzone I/O Server UI object
The user interface for the Airzone control framework:
The (airzone) object is listed in the Project Editor’s new object list only when at least one Airzone I/O Server is defined.
Parameters
- server id: the server ID.
- zone: the zone. Supports
- position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format
