Domestic Connectivity: Great flexibility for integration into your KNX, Modbus and BacNet projects allows fully bi-directional monitoring and control of all the functioning parameters

The interface has been designed specifically for Panasonic and provides complete monitoring, control and full functionality of the entire Aquarea line-up from KNX, Modbus and BacNet installations.
This connectivity solution is made by a third party company, please contact Panasonic for more information.
Interface to connect Etherea to KNX
References: PA-AC-KNX-1i
This new Etherea-KNX interface allows full bi-directional monitoring and control of all the functioning parameters of Etherea control from KNX installations. Small dimensions.
  • Quick installation and possibility of hidden installation.
  • External power not required.
  • Direct connection to the AC indoor unit (split unit or Multi split unit)
  • Fully KNX compatible. Control and monitoring, from sensors or gateways, of the internal variables of the indoor unit and error codes and indication.
  • Use the air conditioner ambient temperature or the one measured by a KNX temperature sensor or Thermostat.
  • AC unit can be controlled simultaneously by the remote control of the AC unit and by KNX devices.
  • Advanced control functions: use it as a room controller.
  • 4 binary inputs. They work as standard KNX binary inputs as well as being used to control the AC directly.
Interface to connect Etherea to Modbus

BACnet Interface
Reference: PAW-AC-BAC-1
This interface allows a complete and natural integration of Panasonic air conditioners into either BACnet IP or MS/TP networks.
  • Quick installation and possibility of hidden installation
  • External power not required
  • Direct connection to the AC indoor unit
  • Total Control and Supervision. Real states of the AC unit’s internal variables
  • Allows using simultaneously the IR and wired remote controls and BACnet.

Dry contact ON/OFF Interface. Panasonic has developed for hotels applications a dry contact PCB which works with Etherea, RE, UE and YE indoor units in order to control simply the unit centrally.
  • ON/OFF signal by 3rd party BMS
  • PCB connected to CN-RMT port on Indoor Unit PCB
