8 MODBUS CONNECTION
The thermal mode is equipped with a Modbus connection
(based on the RS485 communication standard) that supports
the remote management and adjustment of the aforemen-
tioned thermal module.
The Modbus connection is available in the low-voltage terminal
board.

(meant as the address of the slave device in the Modbus system)
and the number of "Stop Bits" are two adjustable values.
To modify one or the other, from the home screen, access the
"Settings" menu, select "General settings" and confirm.

Registers
Depending on the type of Modbus device used to connect to
the thermal module, the registers' addressing may start from
0x0000 or 0x0001.
If addressing starts from 0x0000, the numbers of the registers
listed in the table below may be used directly for reading/writ-
ing operations; if addressing starts from 0x0001, the numbers of
registers shown in the table, plus one, must be used for read-
ing/writing operations.
Control register
The control register is used for special functions.
The first one is that of enabling writing on registers. All accessi-
ble registers, including write ones, must be first enabled to re-

ceive data. To prevent undesired entries, it is possible to change
the value in a register only during the first four seconds after the
status change of the 0 bit in the control register.
Therefore, before changing the value of a register, it is necessary
to change the status of 0 bit of the control register (register No.
99), sending the string 1 to it.

The control register also supports the remote resetting of the
board, by changing the status of the 14 bit. Therefore, by send-
ing the value 16384 to register No. 99, it is possible to reset the
board.

By sending a value other than 1 and from 16384 to register
No. 99, the latter will return to the write-protected status
(bit 0=0).
