    Introduction The information contained in this manual provides general guidelines for the implementation of Modbus communication with the Lochinvar SYNC boiler. All Modbus networks are implemented utilizing a master-slave arrangement where all SYNC boilers are slaves and the master is a building automation system capable of communicating over a RS-485 serial connection.
  • Page 3: Configuration

    Modbus Instructions Configuration The Modbus communication board is equipped with a set of ten dip switches that are used to set the board configuration (address, baud rate, and parity settings). The first eight are used to set the address of each board. The ninth baud rate. The tenth is parity.

  • Page 9: Wiring Requirements

    Modbus Instructions Wiring Requirements Note that when the System Supply Temperature and/or the Tank Temperature are provided by the BAS, they need to be refreshed every few seconds. This is required in order to prevent unwanted fluctuations in these temperatures. If these values are not provided every few seconds (timeout is programmable), the boiler will revert to its own internal control.

    Modbus communication be interrupted longer than the Modbus timer. The timer is reset every time a Modbus write command is received with updated temperatures or commands. It is the recommendation of Lochinvar that this timer be set to the shortest value possible.
  • Page 15 Modbus Instructions Unit Operation (continued) Demand Configuration 5 In this configuration the unit is controlled by providing an enable signal and a rate command through Modbus communications. The rate command will be 0 - 100% of modulation. All sensors and limiting devices should be hardwired to the terminal strip on the back of the unit excluding the thermostat enable and tank thermostat enable signal.
  • Page 16 Modbus Instructions Unit Operation DHW with remote control: This installation may or may not have the hot water generator in close proximity to the boiler. Its sensors and thermostat values are only available through the Modbus communication bus. To ensure that the SYNC boiler can properly respond to a call for hot water generation the following holding registers must be set in addition to other commands: Holding Registers Definition...
  • Page 17 Modbus Instructions Unit Operation (continued) Rate and Temperature Conversions: For Example: Send a setpoint of 110°F. Rate The formula to use for the interpolation is: When issuing a rate command the rate can be communicated as percent modulation or a desired setpoint, depending on the Rate Command = setting of the BMS Type in the BMS Setup Menu.
