Carrier Comfort Network

Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) is a controls

concept that consist of Carrier control products
and Carrier equipment that are stand alone as
well as designed to function together on a
Digital Control System.

CCN BUS ARCHITECTURE

The Key to the CCN BUS is Addressing:
An address is required of all devices on the bus.
No two devices on the same CCN system may ever have the
same address.
A CCN and CCS address consists of a 3 digit bus number
and a 3 digit device number.

CCN BUS ARCHITECTURE

CCN BUS is Addressing:
Example Address: ( 024 , 127)
Bus Number

Device Number

Legal bus numbers are 0 to 239 inclusive

The primary bus number is always 0
Secondary bus numbers are 1 to 239 inclusive.

Legal device numbers are 1 to 239 inclusive.

A repeater module and NAM configured to work with a computer

are not addressed.

For a simple and multiple TEMP system, the only addressing rule is to
never duplicate addresses.
For a simple TEMP and multiple TEMP system, bus communication is at a
minimum, and therefore usually a single bus is sufficient.

For a simple and multiple VVT system, the only addressing rule is to never
duplicate addresses.
The bypass controller MUST be addresses one less than the monitor stat.
Zone controllers must be addressed below the bypass controller.
