Installation Manual Modbus Interface Do not connect the shielded wire of TCC-LINK communication cable to the earth. Set the RS-485 terminator resistor on the TCC-LINK U1 and Modbus-Master address1 unit (Modbus Interface address U2 have no polarity. SW1=1) and host system. Do not set it here. (Locally procured) TCC-LINK terminator resistor is set on the air conditioner side.
Not used SW2 Test switch (0 usually) Bit1: Switches variable specification. 1 2 3 4 OFF TCB-IFMB641TLE mode, ON TCB-IFMB640TLE mode. Bit2: Switches the LED5 display for test runs. OFF RS-485 communication status indicator. ON TCC-LINK communication status indicator. Bit3, 4: RS-485 baud rate setting (9600/19200/38400) bps.
Installation Manual Modbus Interface Test run check Before starting test run • Set the indoor unit central control address so that it does not match any other indoor unit addresses. • Be sure to press the reset switch SW7 on the Modbus Interface when the indoor unit central control address setting has been changed or added.
TCB-IFMB641TLE setting Set the RS-485 baud rate and the address switches of the TCB-IFMB641TLE according to “6 Setting”, the same as the installed TCB-IFMB640TLE. (For address 1, set the terminator of the RS-485) Switching variable specification To switch from the TCB-IFMB641TLE variable specification to the TCB-IFMB640TLE variable specification, set bit1 of SW3 to ON.
