    As per Modbus structure, the NRG controller is a Modbus slave to the main controller. The NRG controller is uniquely identified by a Modbus ID address from 1 to 247. An NRG system can hence consist of maximum 247 NRG controllers. V1.4 | NRG User Manual | © 2020 | CARLO GAVAZZI LTD.

    Communications Check can be carried out either with the main controller connected to the NRG system but also with the NRGC(s) disconnected from the main controller or PLC. During this check the NRGC attempts to communicate with the RG..Ns on its BUS chain. V1.4 | NRG User Manual | © 2020 | CARLO GAVAZZI LTD.

    RG..N giving an alarm, have their BUS LED OFF because they could not be reached • Power OFF the system or press again the ‘TEST’ front push button between 2 seconds and 5 seconds to terminate the Communications Check operation V1.4 | NRG User Manual | © 2020 | CARLO GAVAZZI LTD.

  • Page 106: Performing A Communications Check Through The Main Controller (Plc)

    • Once the Communications Check has been done, the Communications Check operation can be stopped either by the main controller that sends a command through the CMMDB to the NRGC for a Communications Check Stop operation or by powering OFF the system V1.4 | NRG User Manual | © 2020 | CARLO GAVAZZI LTD.
