Configuration Bits Address 40001/AV0 contains configuration bits sent from the BMS to the appliance. These bits tell the appliance to use its own internal inputs, or inputs from the BMS. When a bit is set to 1, the appliance will ignore the corresponding value contained internally and expect the BMS to write that value into the holding registers. The configuration bits are as follows: Holding Register / AV0 Decimal Value HEX Value Selected Signal (Register) to Write to 0 = Taken from Control 1 = Taken from MODBUS B0 (LSB) 1 01 Boiler enable (40002 / AV1) 0/1 B Tank enable (40002 / AV1) 0/1 B Rate command / 0-10V input / setpoint command (40003 / AV2) B DHW setpoint (40004 / AV3)* 0/1 Holding Register / AV0 Decimal Value HEX Value Selected Signal (Register) to Write to 0/1 0 = Taken from Control 1 = Taken from MODBUS B DHW temperature (40005 / AV4) 0/1 B Outdoor temperature (40006 / AV5) 0/1 B System supply temperature (40007 / AV6) 0/1 B System return temperature (40008 / AV7) 0/1 B I4 offset (40009 / AV8) 0/1 B CH post purge (40010 / AV9) 0/1 B DHW post purge (40011 / AV10) 0/1 B Pump 4 speed (40012 / AV11) 0/1 B Pump 5 speed (40013 / AV12) 0/1 B13 (MSB) Extra 0-10V output (40014 / AV13) 0/1

Part 5 - Appliance Operation A. Appliance Operation with MODBUS and BACnet Communications The appliance is equipped with a communication timer. Timeout is set for four minutes. The purpose of the timer is to ensure proper temperature data is communicated to the appliance in a timely manner. Additionally, the communication timer will provide fail safe operation should communication be lost. This timer will cause the appliance to revert back to internal appliance controls should the communication be interrupted longer than the timer. The timer resets every time a write command is received with updated temperatures or commands. The master should update temperature registers at least once per minute, but no more than once per second. Monitoring Only Any appliance can be equipped with the MODBUS or BAC/net communication accessory and then be set up to operate with its own internal controls. The master can then poll the MODBUS or BAC/net accessory for the read only variables. Refer to the following examples for configuring the writable Holding Registers. B. Example #1 - Enable / Disable CH and DHW Demand In this configuration, the appliance is controlled by setting the setpoints locally on the appliance and providing an enable signal through MODBUS or BAC/net communications. All sensors and limiting devices (excluding the thermostat enable and tank thermostat enable signals, which will be sent to the appliance) should be hardwired to the proper terminals in the appliance. The holding registers need to be set as follows: Holding Registers Definition Decimal Value HEX Value Action / AV0 Configuration Set configuration to read / AV1 Coils Enables CH Demand (00 00 disables demand) (boilers only) / AV1 Coils Enables DHW demand on appliance (00 00 disables demand) / AV1 Coils Enables both CH and DHW demand. DHW demand will have priority. Table 10 - Example #1 C. Example #2 - Sending DHW Setpoint Via Direct Write Method Holding Registers Definition Decimal Value HEX Value Action / AV0 Configuration Set configuration to read 40004/AV / AV3 Coils Setpoint Setpoint Directly writes setpoint to water heater Table 12 - Example #2 *The appliance will not respond to the internal DHW limit while the Tank Setpoint is being written from MODBUS/BACnet! D. Example #3 - Sending Setpoint or Firing Rate from BMS 1. Sending Desired Setpoint from BMS to Appliance Via Simulated 0-10V Method In this configuration, the appliance setpoint is indirectly controlled by sending a 0 to 10v signal to it. All sensors and limiting devices (excluding the 0 10 Vdc signal, which will be sent to the MODBUS/BACnet Appliance Parameter I16 Parameter I17 adapter) should be hardwired to the correct locations on the Phoenix, Munchkin, MODCON rev2 and earlier 2 0 appliance. For this command to function, configure the appliance Elite, Elite Premier, EnduroTi 0-10 Volt Temperature according to the corresponding row in the table to the right. Table 11 - Send Desired Setpoint from BMS to Appliance To send a desired CH setpoint on an appliance, or DHW setpoint on a water heater via 40003/AV2, the value (which equates to voltage applied) must be determined through linear interpolation of programmable parameters on the BMS setup menu. Appliance temperature setpoint at low analog input = MIN BOILER TEMP (I12) in the 925 Installer Menu Appliance temperature setpoint at high analog input = CENTRAL HEAT in the 600 User Menu or PHOENIX in the User Menu These variables set the temperature values corresponding to the minimum and maximum voltage settings of the 0 10 volt signal. The defaults are as follows:

10 10 Parameter For example: Send a setpoint of 110 o F. The formula to use for the interpolation is: Voltage to be applied = (Desired setpoint BMS temp at low analog input) (High voltage low voltage) + Low voltage (BMS temp at high analog input BMS temp at low analog input) From the default values: Desired setpoint = 110 BMS temp at low analog input = 68 BMS temp at high analog input = 180 High voltage = 10 Low voltage = 1.6 [(110-68)(10-1.6)/(180-68)] = 4.75 volts (4.75/10) x 100 = = 30 Hexadecimal A value of [00] [30] in hexadecimal would be written to holding register 40003/AV2 to issue a command for a 110 o F setpoint. NOTE: If your particular BMS supports DECIMAL inputs, then the desired voltage level can be sent directly. In the above example, you would send 48 (4.8v) to 40003/AV2. The holding registers need to be set as follows: Holding Registers Definition Decimal Value HEX Value Action / AV0 Configuration 4 04 Set configuration to read / AV2 Setpoint Enables CH Demand (00 00 disables demand) Table 14 - Setting Holding Registers for Setpoint Register 40003/AV2 needs to receive the setpoint command as follows: Acceptable range is 0 to 100. Value needs to be greater than 15 for the appliance to fire. 10V When the command is 16, the appliance will run with the setpoint controlled by the 925 menu parameter I12 (MIN BOILER TEMP). When the command is 100 the appliance will run with the setpoint controlled by the 600 menu parameter CENTRAL HEAT on appliances or the PHOENIX setting in the water heater user menu. 1.5V If the command value is anywhere between 16 and 100, the appliance will run at a setpoint proportional to the command sent between minimum and maximum setpoints. NOTE: To ensure proper operation, resend the configuration bits to holding register / AV0 prior to issuing a command. Figure 4 - Setpoint Curve 2. Send Firing Rate Command from BMS to Appliance In this configuration, the appliance is controlled by setting the modulation from 0 100%. Rate command will be 0 100% of the modulation range. All sensors and limiting devices (excluding the 0 10 Vdc signal, which will be sent to the MODBUS/BACnet adapter) should be hardwired to the correct locations on the appliance. For this command to function, configure the appliance according to the corresponding row in the following table. Default Values Appliance Parameter I16 Parameter I17 Phoenix, Munchkin, MODCON rev2 and earlier 2 2 Elite, Elite Premier, EnduroTi 0-10 Volt Fan Speed Table 15 - Send Firing Rate from BMS to Appliance The holding registers need to be set as follows: Holding Registers Definition Decimal Value HEX Value Action / AV0 Configuration 4 04 Set configuration to read / AV2 Rate Command Sets Modulation % Table 16 - Setting Holding Registers for Firing Rate Default Deg C Deg F Voltages Appliance temperature setpoint at low analog input Appliance temperature setpoint at high analog input Table Volt Temperature Values for Setpoint

11 11 Register 40003/AV2 needs to receive the rate command as follows: Acceptable range is 0 to 100. Value needs to be greater than 15 for the appliance to fire. When the command is 16, the appliance will run at minimum fan speed (firing rate). When the command is 100 the appliance will run at max fan speed (firing rate) If the command value is anywhere between 16 and 100, the appliance will run at a fan speed proportional to the command sent between minimum and maximum firing rates. NOTE: To ensure proper operation, resend the configuration bits to holding register / AV0 prior to issuing a command. E. Example #4 - Hot Water Generation Hot water generation can be accomplished using one of two methods when an appliance is Figure 5 - Firing Rate Curve connected to a BMS system, DHW with direct control, and DHW with remote control. DHW with Direct Control This is the typical installation with a hot water generator in close proximity to the appliance with the tank thermostat, or tank temperature sensor, wired to the terminal strip or Customer Connection Board of the appliance. DHW with Remote Control This installation may or may not have the hot water generator in close proximity to the appliance. Its sensors and thermostat values are only available through the MODBUS communication bus. *The appliance will not respond to the internal DHW limit while the Tank Temperature AND Tank Enable is being written from MODBUS/BACnet! To ensure that the appliance can properly respond to a call for hot water generation, the following holding registers must be set in addition to other commands: Holding Registers Definition BACnet Decimal Value MODBUS Decimal Value HEX Value / AV0 Configuration A Set configuration to read 40002, 4 and / AV1 Coils Enables Tank Tstat (00 00 disables appliance) Action / AV3 Tank setpoint Sets setpoint to 130.0F Tank / AV Passes tank temp from remote sensor (ex: 150.5F) to tank temperature Table 17 - Example #3 NOTE: To ensure proper operation, resend the configuration bits to holding register 40001/AV0 prior to issuing a command. For proper hexadecimal conversion of rate percentage, please refer to the rate and temperature conversion section of this manual. F. Cascade In order to operate the appliance in cascade with MODBUS or BAC/net communications, configure the master appliance. Connect the remaining appliances in the cascade through the normal cascade communications wiring. Cascade control can then be accomplished automatically through the master appliance. NOTE: With MODBUS or BAC/net communication connected only to the master appliance, only total cascade information can be seen through the communications link. Information from the follower appliances is limited to follower appliance rate command, supply temperature, fault code, and fault status. If you want to see complete data from each follower, or use the master to control cascading of multiple appliances, each appliance will need a MODBUS or BAC/net communication board. If this is implemented, remember that each appliance will present its data as Appliance 1. You must then use the Appliance s address to determine which follower you are accessing. G. Temperature Conversions (MODBUS Only) The MODBUS adapter passes temperature data to the appliance in degrees Fahrenheit. Also, to accommodate decimal places, the decimal value must be divided by 10. In some BMS systems, the data sent over the MODBUS is passed as an unsigned 16-bit integer (16BIT UINT). This poses no problem unless the data becomes negative, such as temperatures below zero. In this case, the compliment has to be calculated as follows: Example for WRITING negative temperature values to the appliance: Temperature to be sent over MODBUS = -22 o F. First multiply by X 10 = Calculate compliment = Data to be sent is a decimal value of

12 12 Example for READING negative temperature values from the appliance: To read the outdoor temperature from the appliance, do the opposite. Read register 40006/AV5 and get Since this value is greater than 32767, the temperature is negative. To calculate the negative value: = 220, then 220/10 = X -1 = -22 o F. NOTE: If your particular BMS supports DECIMAL outputs, then the desired temperature can be read and written directly. More examples Sending positive outdoor temperature from remote sensor on BMS system to appliance (40006/AV5) = 80.5 o F Value 16BIT Unit BMS HEX BMS Signed Decimal BMS 80.5 F Table 18 - MODBUS Positive Outdoor Temperature Conversions Sending negative outdoor temperature from remote sensor on BMS system to appliance (40006/AV5) = -25 o F. Data that needs to be transmitted is: -25 X 10 = =65286 OR -250 if supported.

Physical layer 2. Communications configuration and port settings 3. Error codes 4. Appliance status / blocking / lockout codes A. MODBUS/BACnet Board Diagnostics The MODBUS/BACnet board is equipped with three LEDs for visual diagnostics: Two yellow and one green. These LEDs are located under the MODBUS/BACnet cover. One yellow LED (D5) is used to indicate transmission of data. The other yellow LED (D6) is used to indicate reception of data. The green LED (D7) shows internal faults. See Figure 6 for LED locations. Internal Faults (Green LED): Normal Operation = 1 second on, 1 second dim Controller Fault = Continuously on No Burner Control Communication = 0.5 seconds on, 1.5 seconds off No MODBUS/BACnet Communication = 1.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off B. Physical Layer 1. Adapter and Serial Port a. Ensure adapter is plugged into the correct four pin connector i. It plugs into the WHITE connector on the BIC-926 control. ii. It plugs into the BLACK connector on the BIC-928 Figure 6 - MODBUS/BACnet Diagnostic LEDs control. b. Confirm dipswitch 10 is in the correct position for the desired protocol. c. Check for terminating resistors (120 ohms) at each end of the RS-485 bus only. 2. RS-485 a. Verify the correct MODBUS communication cable (twisted pair) is being used. b. Check A, B terminal connections and polarity c. Check for broken wires. d. Check all wire lengths. Are any drops too long? e. Check proper shield grounding. 3. Network Check that all components have power (appliance, MODBUS/BACnet adapter, gateway, BMS master). C. Communications 1. Verify controller is configured for MODBUS (AUTO or ON) 2. Confirm dipswitch 9 is in the correct position for the desired final baud rate. 3. Check baud rate (9600, 19200). 4. Check parity. 5. Check MODBUS/BACnet address.

13 13 6. Check port setting on master, gateway, and computers. 7. Check the status of the LEDs. Refer to Figure 6. D. Error Codes 1. Check MODBUS communication error codes below. 2. Check Follower ID. 3. Check MODBUS command. 4. Check configuration bits for holding register 40001/AV0. 5. Check commands and data for holding registers 40002/AV1 through 40007/AV6. NOTE: Use Status Codes, Blocking Codes and Lockout Codes to interpret remote appliance operating conditions. E. Appliance 0-7 Status Codes The appliance displays an appliance state code on the building screen to help aid in troubleshooting. The appliance state indicates what the appliance is actually doing. This state should be compared to the command issued and what is expected. If the appliance state does not agree with the command, check communication and configuration.
