100389961_2000844370_Rev A MODBUS AND BACNET COMMUNICATION INSTRUCTIONS Models: KEB 0015 - 0150 This manual must only be used by a ⚠ WARNING qualified heating installer / service technician. Read all instructions, including this manual, the Installation and Operation Manual, and the Service Manual, before installing.
The information contained in this manual provides general guidelines for the implementation of ModBus and BACnet communication with the Lochinvar Lectrus boiler (KEB0015 - 0150). All ModBus networks are implemented utilizing a master-slave arrangement where all boilers/water heaters are slaves and the master is a building automation system capable of communicating over a RS-485 half duplex serial connection.

ModBus and BACnet Communication Instructions ModBus Configuration The ModBus communication board is equipped with a set of ten dip switches that are used to set the board configuration (address, baud rate, and parity settings). The first eight are used to set the address of each board. The ninth is baud rate. The tenth is parity. Figure 3-1_ModBus Communication Board DIP SWITCHES LED’S...
RTU has been chosen to be used 0 = 9600 bps with all Lochinvar ModBus communication. Please ensure that the master device is transmitting ModBus RTU. Each message is started by at least 3.5 character times of silence.

Modbus Instructions ModBus and BACnet Communication Instructions Wiring Requirements Note that when the System Supply Temperature and/or the Tank Temperature are provided by the BAS, they need to be refreshed every few seconds. This is required in order to prevent unwanted fluctuations in these temperatures. If these values are not provided every few seconds (timeout is programmable), the boiler will revert to its own internal control.
