    Modbus RTU EIA-485 network. 2.1 Connect to the AC indoor unit The FJ-RC-MBS-1 connects directly to the Fujitsu BWR Bus, which is not provided within the interface. Depending on which controllers are available, the recommended connection’ methods are the following ones (details in Figure 2.

    4. Connect the EIA-485 bus to the connector EIA485 of the interface. 5. Close the AC indoor unit. 6. Check the DIP-Switch configuration of the IntesisBox interface and make sure it matches the current installation’s parameters (see section 4.3). By default, the interface is set to: Modbus Slave Address ...
  • Page 7: Modbus Interface Specification

    4. Modbus Interface Specification 4.1 Modbus physical layer FJ-RC-MBS-1 implements a Modbus RTU (Slave) interface, to be connected to an EIA-485 line. It performs 8N2 communication (8 data bits, no parity and 2 stop bit) with several available baud rates (2400 bps, 4800 bps, 9600 bps -default-, 19200 bps, 38400 bps, 57600 bps, 76800 bps and 115200 bps).

  • Page 10: Considerations On Temperature Registers

    This register allows us to provide an external temperature’s sensor from the Modbus side. Fujitsu indoor unit does not allow on devices like FJ-RC-MBS-1 to provide directly temperature to be used as a reference of the control loop of the AC indoor unit. In order to overcome this limitation and enable the usage of an external temperature sensor (i.e.from Modbus side), FJ-RC-MBS-1 applies the following mechanism (only if “external...

    This mechanism must be supplied by the Modbus Master. The FJ-RC-MBS-1 device includes an on-board terminator resistor of 120Ω that can be connected to the EIA-485 bus by using DIP-switch SW4. Some Modbus RTU EIA-485 Master devices can provide also internal 120Ω terminator resistor and/or fail safe biasing mechanism (Check the technical documentation of the Master device connected to the EIA-485 network in each case).
