    MAN1078-08-EN_RCC_UM CHAPTER 15: MAINTENANCE 15.1 Firmware Updates The RCC products contain field updatable firmware to allow new features to be added to the product at a later time. Firmware updates should only be performed when a new feature or correction is required. Updating the firmware erases the program memory and a program will need to be loaded into the RCC after the firmware update is finished for it to function again.

    MAN1078-08-EN_RCC_UM 16.4 Modbus Addressing Table for RCC Units To access RCC registers, a Modbus Master must be configured with the appropriate register type and offset. This is usually accomplished with one of two methods: 1. The first method uses Traditional Modbus References, in which the high digit represents the register type and the lower digits represent the register offset (starting with Register 1 for each type).
