I C communications (VCM-X E-BUS). The MODGAS-XWR2 Controller can also control or effect control of ad- ditional fixed valves for additional stages of heat by using the additional Heat Relays on the board itself. When the MODGAS-XWR2 is attached to one of the listed Unit Controllers, these additional stages are affected through the Unit Controller.
Failure to follow this procedure can result in damage to the module and connected devices WARNING: Attach all valves to header before supplying power to the board. Figure 1: MODGAS-XWR2 Controller Dimensions (in inches) MODGAS-XWR2 Technical Guide...

SLAVE_MODE: If the Controller is acting as a Modbus slave to an- other MODGAS-XWR2 Controller, then it operates in this control state. This mode limits many Controller operations (e.g. the PID Loop does not run in this mode). In this mode, the board essentially mimics the opera- tion of the MASTER MODGAS-XWR2 board.

If the Controller is a Modbus slave to another TOTAL # MODGAS-XWR2, then this mode replaces Modulate Mode. If the board is in this mode, then that means there is a MASTER XWR2 board run- ning the PID Loop control.
