Connect a PB control unit
Live values, configuration and statistics to search and filter, how the bed has been used, its event logs and the service functions.
- Plug the USB–RS485 adapter into this computer and into the unit's service connector.
- Pick the adapter — the browser asks for it the first time.
- Connect, and keep this tab open: the tool runs on the server, this page lends it the serial port.
This browser cannot open serial ports: use Chrome or Edge on a computer. The simulated unit works anywhere.
No unit at hand? The simulation runs in this page and talks to the same server through the same tunnel as a real unit.

Configuration flags
service modeFour bytes, FLAG4 FLAG3 FLAG2 FLAG1: click the bits or type the hex. Units without FLAG3 and FLAG4 read 00 there and ignore them.
Service counter
service modeAfter a service, reset the counter (BTK) that tells when the next service is due.
