Start-Up Options - Kaco Blueplanet 87.0 TL3 Series Manual

If additional failure safety is desirable, the KACO devices can also be arranged in a ring via a correspondingly configured
Network Segment Switch (that supports the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol "RSTP"). This switch is then also coupled
to the Segment Controller. This configuration is shown as an example in segments 1 and M.
As can be seen in the figure, a string combiner is assigned to each KACO device. In terms of communication, these
are coupled in directly to the device via an RS485 cable (green cable). MODBUS RTU is used as the communication proto-
col for this purpose. The monitoring of the string combiner is also carried out via the Segment Controller,
whereby the KACO device undertakes the role of a MODBUS gateway. The string combiner must be coupled using a
KACO blueplanet ARGUS.
The only 3rd party string combiner device currently available, which can also be addressed in this manner via the
Segment Controller, comes from "Kernel Sistemi".
Depending on the network load, the blueplanet 87.0-150TL3 can support up to 10 Modbus clients.
