Architecture

Stand-Alone Configuration

In a stand-alone setup, each touch screen operates independently, utilizing add-on modules to extend connectivity. INS4SQ supports one add-on, while INS8SQ, and INS10SQ support two, enabling simultaneous multiprotocol connections. This configuration is perfect for individual rooms in apartments, flats, offices, and hotels.

Multiple Touch Units Configuration

For installations with multiple touch units, these devices communicate via IP using the Modbus protocol. This interconnection allows each unit to control and monitor the others and their connected devices.


Programming with Skyplatform

Skyplatform is a web-based cloud server designed for managing Inels and Inspinia products. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for commissioning, modifying, and monitoring devices.

Accessing Skyplatform

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to skyplatform.io.
