3.13 Communications Group
Introduction
The Communications group lets you configure the controller to be connected to a host
computer via Modbus® or Ethernet TCP/IP protocol. Two parameters in this Group,
Communications Station Address and TX Delay, are also used for IR communications.
No other parameters affect IR communications.
Introduction
A controller with a communications option looks for messages from the host computer. If
these messages are not received within the configured shed time, the controller will
SHED from the communications link and return to stand-alone operation. You can also
set the SHED output mode and setpoint recall, and communication units.
Up to 99 addresses can be configured over this link. The number of units that can be
configured depends on the link length, with 31 being the maximum for short link lengths
and 15 drops being the maximum at the maximum link length.

BAUD 1004

second. This value is used for both RS-485 and IR
Communications, but for IR Communications,
values below 19200 baud are interpreted as being
19200 baud.
