Nilan Compact P

Use cases

• Monitor outdoor, supply, and extract air temperatures on a live dashboard for building owners.
• Create an alert when the filter replacement countdown reaches zero to schedule timely maintenance.
• Adjust the DHW setpoint remotely to optimize energy consumption during off-peak hours.
• Track compressor state and alarm registers to detect faults before an on-site visit is needed.
• Pause hot water production remotely during extended vacancy periods to save energy.
• Log humidity and fan speed data over time to verify ventilation performance and indoor air quality.

Installation

1. 1Connect the Nilan Compact P to the local network and verify that its Modbus TCP interface is enabled in the CTS700 controller settings.
2. 2Note the IP address and Modbus TCP port (default 502) configured on the Compact P unit.
3. 3Wire or connect the ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series) to the same local network as the Nilan unit.
4. 4In the ModbusCloud portal, add a new device and select the Nilan Compact P template from the template library.
5. 5Enter the IP address and port of the Compact P in the device connection settings and confirm the Modbus unit ID matches the unit configuration.
6. 6Verify that live data appears on the dashboard by checking a few key readings such as outdoor temperature and fan speed.
