The changelog of VelbusLink 10.1.0.0 mentions added support for VMBUSBIP. What exactly is this module?
A Velbus USB interface with integrated velbustcp server?
Hello
The VMBUSBIP is a Velbus configuration module which has both a USB and a IP interface.
It is currently still in development and is expected to release alongside VMBSIG.
Kind regards

Are the connectors going to be on the top or bottom face this time around 
Or if you want to put a USB on the front face (like the VMBRSUSB), can you put screw terminals for the USB on the top too ?
(Not two USB connections, just the one with two ways of connecting to it)
Simple reason being, if the module goes into a smaller din rail cabinet, the door won’t close with the connectors plugged into the front 
We’re looking into the option for a micro-USB on top, I’ll keep you posted here.

Here’s another thought for a TCP interface.
Will it have a NTP time to Velbus time update routine?
The Signum has NTP, the USBIP doesn’t.
Both do have a supercap clock backup that will maintain the time and date in case of powerdown, will last several days.

We were discussing this, and we were wondering if the IP-connection isn’t sufficient? What would the use case be where you would want to have a continuous USB connection to the VMBUSBIP, given that it has an IP connection (eg. for Pi).
(At the moment the micro-USB on top is only for console purposes).
That’s a fair question.
My thoughts are for those that want to put a DIN mounted SBC next to the VMBUSBIP and don’t want their Velbus traffic on their LAN 24/7
I assume the TCP packets aren’t being Broadcasted, so will only be on the LAN when requested.
The TCP packets will indeed not be broadcasted.
