5.3.1 Z-CouplingBrick-0#
5.3.1.1 Description
The CouplingBrick is a connection device be-
tween a remote-master and a string of the
brickBUS® slaves modules.
The largest configuration (variant) contains
the interfaces LAN, WLAN, CAN and Serial
which can be used to couple a remote-master.
It is also possible to use the CAN and RSxxx
as an IO-device (on request).
The unit is driven by 24Vdc and also serves as
power-supply unit that delivers 3.3V and 24V
for the slave modules. Nevertheless the bus is
controlled by the connected remote-master.
The LWCS acts as the bus master of the local bus and the connected slaves modules. There-
fore the LWCS has the ability to control its string in exceptional situations autark, e.g. by put-
ting a teached output pattern on the bus when the remote-master communication breaks
down.
Away from an operation with emBRICK, this board can also act as a low cost/low power
IoT-Interface adapter that supports the connection between local control units (RSxxx, TTL,
CAN) and the WAN/Internet. More see 0
5.3.1.2 emBRICK Operation Modes
The LWCS acts as a coupling device between remote-bus and local-bus and is therefore a Lo-
cal-Master whitout own functionality. It contains three different (alternative) operation modes:
 Serial Operation (via RS485)
 CAN Operation (via CAN-Interface)
 TCP/IP Operation (via LAN of WLAN)
All three modes contain the same data and protocol content.
For the TCP/IP communication and div. common programming systems, ready drivers are
available (MSVC++, Gamma). See => eB_Developer-Manual. For own/individual programming
of connections to the LWCS see eB_Developer-Manual.
