  • Page 28 Tel: +44 (0)1530 839998 OVERVIEW The ATC MINI Chiller uses the ModBUS® RTU communication protocol over RS485 networks All communication messages finish with a check sum type CRC (cyclic redundancy check). Every slave device in a network must have a different address.

  • Page 29: Physical Connection

    1 Physical Connection The ATC MINI Chiller is provided with an RS485 serial communication interface, insulated to 1kV so that any problem arising from ground potential is removed. While idle, the MINI Chiller is in a receive condition and only undertakes transmission after a message has been decoded that matches the configured address.

  • Page 30: Communication Protocol

    ATC Mini Chiller - ModBUS Communication Protocol 2 Communication Protocol The protocol adopted by the ATC MINI Chiller is a subset of the widely used MODBUS RTU (JBUS, AEG Schneider Automation, Inc. registered trademark) protocol, so that connections are easy for many commercial PLCs and supervisory programs.
