Timing Specifications

The baud rate for the Modbus board is selectable with Dip switch #9.

1 = 19200 bps

0 = 9600 bps

Each message is started by at least 3.5 character times of silence. The maximum delay between frames is 1.5 character times.

When the system temperature and/or tank temperature is provided by the BAS to the boiler, it is critical that the temperature be updated every few seconds. If the boiler does not receive updated temperatures within a timeout period (installer adjustable), the control will revert to using its own sensor inputs (if sensors are connected). The timeout is programmable by pressing the MAIN>>SETUP>>BMS buttons. The timeout is adjustable between 5 and 120 seconds. The default timeout is 10 seconds.

When the BAS is not providing either of these temperatures, but is still controlling the boiler (such as providing a modulation command), the BAS must refresh these commands at least every 4 minutes. If the commands are not refreshed, the boiler will revert to operating based on its own inputs.

Parity

Parity is set by the position of Dip switch #10. 0 = No Parity

1 = Odd Parity

If No Parity is selected there will be two stop bits, otherwise there will be one.

Data Transmission Mode

Many Modbus bus master devices can be configured to transmit data in either Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII modes. Since RTU messages can be formatted to use fewer data bits and are therefore more efficient, RTU has been chosen to be used with all Lochinvar Modbus communication. Please ensure that the master device is transmitting Modbus RTU.

Modbus Board Diagnostics

The Modbus board is equipped with three LED’s for visual diagnostics: Two yellow LED’s and one green. One yellow LED (D5) is used to indicate reception of data. The other yellow LED (D6) is used to indicate transmission of data. The green LED (D7) is used to show internal faults.

Internal Faults:

Normal Operation = 1 second on, 1 second off Controller Fault = Continuously on

No Burner Control Communication = 0.5 seconds on, 1.5 seconds off

No Modbus Communication = 1.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off

Modbus Communication

The Modbus communication commands and exception codes that are supported by the Modbus communication board can be found on pages 5 and 6 of this manual.
