HVAC system control module BOSS

wall-mountedM-Busindoor

General characteristics
The CAREL boss and boss mini are supervisors that centralise device data into a single information architecture. Acting as the system's technological core, they provide unit status display and controlled access to control logic via an intuitive software platform, enabling real‑time visibility of faults and optimisation of overall performance to respond dynamically to energy‑saving needs.
Local optimisation logic based on field data and integration with cloud strategies make boss and boss mini the bridge between on‑site control and remote intelligence. Native integration with CAREL RED Optimise Cloud delivers extended remote control, analytics and advanced diagnostics, reducing the need for permanent on‑site technical staff.

Benefits

• Simplified system view: The integrated Map Editor enables creation and customisation of system maps and supervisor pages directly on the device through a guided workflow, without development skills.
• Optimisation via Rule Engine: Intuitive rule builder for automatic logic without coding, combining predefined conditions and actions to manage loads, setpoints and notifications, shortening configuration time.
• Lower energy costs: The Energy plug‑in consolidates consumption and production in a single structured view. Energy hierarchy and functional tagging support self‑consumption analysis. Native MeterBus connectivity with autodiscovery ensures fast, reliable setup.
• Cybersecurity: Secure‑by‑design architecture with regular assessments and updates to maintain compliance with current regulations.

Video
A product video is available presenting the plant‑level vision for efficiency and sustainability.

Documentation (available types)
Technical datasheets and installation/assembly instructions are provided for both boss and boss mini in multiple languages. Commercial brochures describing the boss platform for control and monitoring of efficient systems are also available.
