3. COMMUNICATION PORTS 3.1 Serial ports Compared to the pCO3, pCO5+ (and pCO5) controllers have a second BMS serial port on connector J25 (BMS2) and a second Fieldbus port on connector J26 (FBus2). pCO5+ Large and Extralarge boards still have connector J23, which is marked FBus2 like connector J26.
RS485 Fieldbus port are, due to the nature of the port, Master protocols (CAREL Master or Modbus RTU Master), although in special cases Slave protocols can be used (CAREL Slave or Modbus RTU Slave), adopting the necessary measures. Likewise, Slave protocols are applied on the RS485 BMS port, although under certain conditions Master protocols can also be used.
INSTALLATION 4.1 Mounting on DIN rail and dimensions The controller is designed to be mounted on a DIN rail. The fi gure below shows the dimensions for each size. Mounting: • place the controller on the DIN rail and press it down gently. The tabs at the back will snap into place and lock the controller.
Non-optically-isolated serial port • Use only optional boards and connectors supplied by CAREL. This is the case of the serial ZERO - pLAN (J11), Fieldbus 2 (J23 and J26) and BMS2 if not optically isolated (on models with built-in ports that are not optically isolated).
