Modbus Gateway(Mini) (2)Do not place the plug of the power supply into the socket before it is dried and cleaned. (3)Cut off the power supply before touching the electric element. (4)Do not touch this device with wet hands; otherwise it would result in electric shock.
(6)Graphics in the instruction manual are for reference only. 3 General Functions Gree Modbus Gateway(Mini) is intended to realize the data exchange between the air conditioner and BMS, and provides standard Modbus RTU protocol. This gateway is applicable for DC Inverter GMV5, Water Source Heat Pump GMV5, GMV5 Mini, GMV5 Slim and GMV5 Heat Recovery.
Modbus Gateway(Mini) Modbus Gateway(Mini) 1 set Owner’s Manual 1 set 5 Detailed Introduction of Modbus Gateway(Mini) Interface 5.1.1 Interface Function Drawing 5.1.2 Power The input power is 12V DC, external power supply can be prepared.
Modbus Gateway(Mini) Note: pay attention to the polarity of power input and connect power according to the interface instruction. 5.1.3 Communication Interfaces CAN communication interface: It is connected to air conditioner through two- core connection wire, to realize communication between Modbus Gateway(Mini) and air conditioner.
Modbus Gateway(Mini) RS485 communication interface: It is connected to BMS through two-core communication cable, to realize communication between Modbus Gateway(Mini) and BMS or nearby Modbus Gateway(Mini). LED Display LED indicators shown in the above figure are divided into two parts: status indicators (power) and communication indicators(CAN, RS485).
Modbus Gateway(Mini) DIP Switches Notice! Please set DIP switches before using this gateway. Re-energize the device after setting DIP switches. Otherwise this device cannot operate normally! Setting area of Modbus gateway DIP switch is located inside the product, including address DIP switch and function DIP switch. 5.3.1 Setting of Address DIP Switch (1) Address DIP switch consists of S1 and S2.
Modbus Gateway(Mini) 5.3.2 Address DIP Switch S1,S2—Address Setting of Modbus Gateway Notice! Please set the address DIP switches before using this gateway. The network DIP switch address of the same bus cannot be repeated, otherwise communication error may happen. Modbus Gateway(Mini) address setting range: 1~255. Detailed DIP value please refer to the Address DIP Form.
Modbus Gateway(Mini) Setting method of address 43 is shown as below: 5.3.3 The Fourth Switch of Function DIP Switch S3 - Setting of CAN2 Bus Matched Resistance Notice! Notice! Master outdoor unit or gateway of the system which is at the end of CAN2 bus must be set as with the matched resistance, otherwise communication will be abnormal! The fourth switch of function DIP switch is used for setting the CAN2 bus...
Modbus Gateway(Mini) If the Modbus gateway is at the end of CAN2 bus, the gateway shall be set as with the matched resistance, which means set the fourth DIP switch to 0; If the Modbus gateway is not at the end of CAN2 bus, the gateway shall be set as without the matched resistance, which means set this DIP switch to 1.
Modbus Gateway(Mini) If the Modbus gateway is at the end of Modbus bus, the gateway shall be set as with the matched resistance, which means set the third DIP switch to 0; If the Modbus gateway is not at the end of Modbus bus, the gateway shall be set as without the matched resistance, which means set this DIP switch to 1.
Modbus Gateway(Mini) 6 Application Modbus Gateway(Mini) is usually applicable for Building Management System. Building Management System (BMS) This gateway adopts Modbus standard protocol, which can be used as the interface of BMS. It is applicable for DC Inverter GMV5, Water Source Heat Pump GMV5, GMV5 Mini, GMV5 Slim and GMV5 Heat Recovery.
