ANNEX A - MODBUS OVERVIEW
A 1. INTRODUCTION
The FV300 can connect to a MODBUS network as a slave device conforming to V1.1 protocol
specification. The detector provides a bank of 16 bit registers to provide comprehensive
information on the status of the detector.
A status register is available so that a MODBUS controller can request the alarm and fault status
from the detector. Full location information is available for an alarm. The detector also supports
commands to perform OPM and alarm tests, reset latched alarms and faults and to control masking.

A 1.2ELECTRICAL INTERFACE
The FV300 MODBUS interface operates on a 2-Wire serial bus in accordance with EIA/TIA-485
standard.
Note: The Modbus serial bus must be fitted with a set of termination resistors at one
point only. See section 4.1.4.2 on page 12 of manual for details. When installing
on an existing bus check that the correct resistors have been fitted.
