  • Page 2 9. Gateway Enclosure kits 10. Replacement Parts Description The ProMinent Industrial Communication Driver card (Com Module) provides the Aegis II with the ability to interface with most industrial communication protocols thus providing the customer with live I/O values. The Com Module includes:...
  • Page 3 Gateway and our communication driver. Multiple Protocols The following chart list Gateways available through ProMinent. A link is provided in the event you need a Gateway manual. Other Gateways are available from electronics vendors. These gateway part numbers do not include complete kits.
  • Page 4 Com Module Installation From the factory, the Com Module will be installed in expansion slot 3. This card will not operate in expansion slots 1 or 2. A plastic screw secures the card in place. The Com module may or may not have an optional driver card attached.

  • Page 5: Component Function

    When a Com Module is added to expansion slot #3, the dual 4-20mA outputs acquire the identification letters I and J. These are the letter assignments for any card installed in this slot. If the dual 4-20mA input driver is installed onto the Com Module, it is represented by the letters K and L.
  • Page 6 Connect up to 120 communication driver card slaves to one master. The master can be the plant Modbus RTU network or any number of Gateways. Currently, ProMinent has six gateways in stock that provide conversion to 3 protocols; Modbus TCP (Ethernet), BACnet IP (Ethernet) and BACnet MSTP (Serial). These gateways are available with or without UL approval.
  • Page 7 Gateway devices require a separate DC power supply. See instructions accompanying the Gateway. The next few illustrations depict ADFweb brand, non-UL approved gateways which convert the Com Module Modbus RTU Slave to another Protocol. The connection to the Com card is via the Modbus Master serial port on the Gateway.

    Technical Support If the communication link is not working, refer to this checklist. Try to swap the serial connection Are the wires connected to the correct terminals? Do the default settings listed on page 14 agree with the controller’s System Configure page? Do these settings agree with the Gateway or other Master settings? Addresses must not be the same If using a gateway, did you load a configuration into the gateway according to the manufacturer’s instruction?
