Application Metasys Integrator allows Vilter equipment to become an integral part of the Metasys
and Metasys Companion Networks. Once Vilter refrigeration controllers are connected
Details to a Metasys or Companion Network via the Metasys Integrator, their data is available to
the full complement of Metasys Facility Management System (FMS) features, including
Change-of-State (COS) monitoring, alarm notification, scheduling, trend, and totalization.
Metasys Integrator transmits both status information and commands between the Vilter
devices and the Metasys or Companion Network.
Metasys Integrator supports four Vilter controllers:
● Reciprocating Compressor
● Twin Screw Compressor
● Single Screw Compressor
● Evaporative Condenser
One controller (of any type) is designated as a master controller, and acts as the interface
between Vilter equipment and non-Vilter devices (such as Metasys Integrator). The
master controller connects to Metasys Integrator through the RS-232 Bus, and to the other
controllers through the RS-485 8044 BITBUS.
Each Metasys Integrator vendor port can connect to one master controller. Each master
controller can connect up to 250 Vilter controllers.
Figure 1 shows Vilter and Metasys integration, and Figure 2 shows Vilter and Metasys
Companion integration.

Metasys Release To integrate Vilter equipment into the Metasys Network, you’ll need:
Requirements ● Metasys OWS software Release 4.0 or higher
● Metasys Integrator software/firmware Release 2.0 or higher
Metasys To integrate Vilter equipment into the Metasys Companion Network, you’ll need:
Companion ● Metasys Companion Release 4.0 or higher
Release ● Metasys Integrator software/firmware Release 2.0 or higher
Requirements
Vendor Integration between Metasys Integrator and Vilter has been tested with the equipment
Component listed in Table 1. Changes to this equipment or integration of Vilter products not
Requirements discussed in this document will require additional software development and testing by
Design When integrating Vilter equipment, keep the following considerations in mind:
● Make sure all Vilter equipment is set up, started, and running properly before
Considerations attempting to integrate with the Metasys or Companion Network. (The Vilter
representative is responsible for operation of refrigeration controllers.)
● Make sure one of the controllers is designated as the master controller. (The Vilter
representative is responsible for defining the master controller.)
● Make sure the controller baud rate is set to 1200. (The Vilter representative is
responsible for setting the controller’s baud rate.)
● RS-232 cable distance between Metasys Integrator and the master controller can be
a maximum of 50 feet.
● Cable distance between the master controller and the last controller can be a
maximum of 4000 feet. Up to 28 controllers can be supported without the use of a
repeater (each repeater counts as one device).
Cable Pinouts Use the following cable pinouts for the RS-232 connection between Metasys Integrator
and the Vilter master controller.
DB-9 Female
Connecting the Connect the female end of the RS-232 cable to either Vendor Port A or Vendor Port B on
Metasys Integrator. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 terminal block on
