NOVUS N321S Differential Temperature Controller

SERIAL COMMUNICATION

RS485 Interface

• Compatible line signals with RS485 standard.
• 2 wire connection between master and up to 31 slave controllers in bus topology.
• With multiple output converters up to 247 knots.
• Maximum communication distance: 1000 meters.
• The RS485 signals are:

General Characteristics

• Serial interface not isolated from input circuitry.
• Serial interface isolated from input circuitry, except in 24 V powered model.
• Baud rate : 9600 bps.
• Data Bits : 8.
• Parity : None.
• Stop Bits : 1.

Communication Protocol
Modbus RTU slave protocol is supported, available in most of the supervisory software found in the market.

The available Modbus commands are as follows:

• 03 – Read Holding Register (Record Readers)
• 06 – Preset Single Register (Written in Recorder)

The 03 Read Holding Register command accepts the reading of up to four consecutive registers.

CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION

Controllers that have the built-in RS485 serial communication interface have the Addr parameter at their programming level. In this parameter the user defines a communication address for each element of the network. The address you set must be between 1 and 247 Communication address of the controller. Each controller must have a unique address

REGISTERS TABLE

The registers are the controller’s internal parameters. Each table parameter is a 16-bit word with a signal represented by a complement of 2.

EXCEPTION RESPONSES – ERROR CONDITIONS

Upon receiving a command, the CRC check is performed on the received data block. If there is a CRC error at reception, no response will be sent to the master. For commands received without error, a consistency of the command and the requested registers is realized. If invalid, an exception response is sent with the corresponding error code. In exception responses, the field corresponding to the Modbus command in the response is summed as 80h. If a value write command in a parameter has a value outside the allowed range, no value will be written to this parameter, returning error code 03 as a response. Broadcast read commands are ignored by the controller and there is no response. You can only write in Broadcast mode.
