3.1 About MasterBus
All devices that are compatible with MasterBus are marked with the MasterBus symbol.
MasterBus is a CAN based, fully decentralized data network for communication between
Mastervolt devices. MasterBus is used as power management system for all connected
equipment, such as the inverter, battery charger, generator and many more.
Every device that is compatible with MasterBus is equipped with two data ports. The devices are
simply chained together, forming a local data network. Monitoring panels such as the EasyView 5
can be used for monitoring and control of all connected MasterBus equipment.
CAUTION:
Never connect a non-MasterBus device to the MasterBus network directly! This will void
warranty of all MasterBus devices connected.
3.2 Event based commands
With MasterBus a device can be programmed to initiate an action at another connected device. This
is done by means of event-based commands. See section 6.7 on page 22.

3.3 How to set up a MasterBus network
Connections between the devices are made
by standard straight MasterBus cables.
Mastervolt can supply these cables.
Up to 63 MasterBus devices can be
connected together.
MasterBus needs a terminating device on both
ends of the network.
The electric power for the network comes from
the connected devices.
At least one device in the network should have
powering capabilities (see specifications).
The EasyView 5 has powering capabilities if
the auxiliary supply is connected to the
battery.
Do not make ring networks.
Do not make T-connections in the network.
