System Architecture
The overall controls architecture uses the following:
• One MicroTech
®
III unit controller
• I/O extension modules (sometimes referred to as
"controllers") as needed depending on the configuration
of the unit
• Up to three BAS interface modules as needed based on
installed options

Modbus Communication - Unit
The unit controller (UC) communicates to the compressor
VFD's and the EXV modules via the Modbus RTU connection
on the controller itself. Communication to the VFD's and EVAP
EXV MODULE is required for operation in all configurations.
Communication to ECON EXV MODULE is required only if the
chiller is configured with economizers.
