1.1 Specifications

The controller's Modbusr communication capability:
D
Supports industry-standard Modbusr RTU protocol.
D
Connects to a Modbusr master singly or over an
RS-485 network.
D
Uses standard baud rates of 9600 or 19200.

1.2 Configurations

The controller can communicate directly to a Modbusr
master or participate in a network of devices. See

Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
Electrostatic discharge damage. Electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damages electronic circuit boards.
electrostatic discharge damage by wearing an approved
grounding wrist strap when handling electronic circuit boards
or integrated circuits. An approved grounding wrist strap
provides a high resistance (about 1 megohm), not a direct
short, to ground.
Modbusr Network Interface (MNI).
non-isolated RS-485 port with connection speeds of 9.6
kbps and 19.2 kbps for connection to building
management systems, programmable logic controls,
etc.
Use RTU (remote terminal unit) protocol for
communication through this port.
Connect Modbusr communications cables to terminal
strip TB1 on the controller assembly on the inside of the
enclosure door.
Disconnect power to the transfer switch by opening
switches or circuit breakers before opening the
enclosure.
Open the controller housing and locate
terminal strip TB1.
Connect the Modbusr input and output to the terminals
shown in Figure 1-4. Use #12--24 AWG twisted-pair
wire;
Belden
recommended. Connect the shield to ground as shown
in Figure 1-4.
