Modbus RTU Communications Wiring
If inserting multiple wires in the terminals, ensure to properly twist wires together prior to inserting them into the terminal connectors.
The RS-485 port must be configured in EC- gfx Program prior to use. Modbus devices are integrated into EC- gfx Program using the EC- gfx Program Mod-
bus device block.
Modbus TCP Communications Wiring
Connect Modbus TCP devices to the same IP subnet the controller is using. This connection can be made by connecting the Modbus TCP device to an
Ethernet port on the ECY-CSC with a Cat5e network cable for example (see
ECLYPSE User Guide.
The RS-485 port must be configured in EC- gfx Program prior to use. Modbus devices are integrated into EC- gfx Program using the EC- gfx Program Mod-
bus device block.
M-Bus Communications Wiring
M-Bus communications are made by connecting meters directly in an M-Bus port.
The Connected System Controller integrates one M-Bus port when equipped with one ECY-MBUS extension module.
The M-Bus port must be configured in EC- gfx Program prior to use. M-Bus meters are integrated into EC- gfx Program using the M-Bus device block.
Maximum M-Bus Device Wiring Length
The following information provides wiring limitations for M-Bus devices. The wiring length provided below was tested as a worst-case scenario with all
meters being located at the end of the bus. If meters are more evenly spaced along the bus, then the maximum wiring length can possibly be increased.
Testing Conditions:
