All devices that are suitable for MasterBus are marked by the MasterBus symbol
MasterBus is a fully decentralized data network for communication between the different Mastervolt
system devices. It is a CAN-bus based communication network which has proven itself as a reliable
bus-system in automotive applications. MasterBus is used as power management system for all
connected devices, such as the inverter, battery charger, generator and many more. This gives the
possibility for communication between the connected devices, for instance to start the generator
when the batteries are low.
MasterBus reduces complexity of electrical systems by using UTP patch cables. All system
components are simply chained together. Therefore each device is equipped with two MasterBus
data ports. When two or more devices are connected to each other through these data ports, they
form a local data network, called the MasterBus. The results are a reduction of material costs as
only a few electrical cables are needed and less installation time.
For central monitoring and control of the connected devices Mastervolt offers a wide range of panels
which show full status information of your electrical system at a glance and a push of a button. Four
different panels are available, from the small Mastervision compatible 120 x 65 mm LCD screen up
to the full colour EasyView 5. All panels can be used for monitoring, control and configuration of all
connected MasterBus equipment.
