  • Page 4: Purpose

    The purpose of the McQuay International Open Protocol for McQuay absorption chillers is to allow other automation integrators the ability to communicate with a McQuay absorption chiller.  Communications will be established through a MicroTech interface panel that will communicate with the McQuay Absorption Chiller.

  • Page 5: Microtech Absorption Gateway

    This section will be used to explain the MAG hardware components. The components needed will depend upon the number of McQuay chillers. A MAG that is in a network of two or more McQuay Absorption Gateways and an OPM Panel will be referred to as a "Network MicroTech Absorption Gateway."...

  • Page 6: Diagnostic Variables

    Network MAG to a Direct Connect MAG The only way to direct connect to a Network McQuay Gateway is to change the controller address to FF and reset power. This will change Comm Port B to 9600 baud TTY and direct connection will be possible.
  • Page 7 McQuay International Proprietary Information - Subject to Change Communications Check Output 0700 This is the memory location that contains the status of digital output 0. A 0 indicates the output is off and a 1-255 indicates the output is on. This output is on for one second and off for one second if communications exist between the MAG and the Absorption Unit Controller.
