6 Setting

The following settings are necessary to use Modbus interface. · SW1 Sets the Modbus slave addresses of the Modbus interface.
A single Modbus interface uses three Modbus slave addresses. (One address for the current interface and two addresses for potential interfaces.) When two or more Modbus interfaces are used for a single line RS-485 bus, set the addresses as indicated in the table below. Assign address numbers in ascending order, from smallest to largest.

Modbus interface No.1 No.2 No.3 No.4 No.5

Central controller ID setting mode
The central controller ID setting mode changes the central controller ID of the Modbus interface. (central controller ID at the time of factory shipping is central controller ID 20.) The central controller ID number indicates the Uh Line address and communication priority for the Uh Line compatible central control device.

Change the central controller ID in the following cases. · If using Modbus interface with a central control device not compatible with Uh Line, set the central controller ID as “old controller.”
(1) Transition to central controller ID setting mode
· If setting the Modbus slave address with SW1, make a note of the SW1 value before performing central controller ID setting operations.
· Turn on bit1 of SW3. (2) Verification of central controller ID
· If SW1 is set to 0, central controller ID is displayed by LED2 to LED5.

Because the Uh Line compatible central control device uses high-order central controller ID, setting of central controller ID1 to ID6 cannot be done with Modbus interface.

(4) Conclusion of central controller ID setting mode · Turn off bit1 of SW3. · Return the SW1 value to that of the Modbus slave address.
IMPORTANT Immediately after the power is turned on for the Modbus interface, the SW1 value is the Modbus slave address. When the power is turned on, if the SW1 value is that of the central controller ID or is 0, the Modbus interface will not operate properly. When concluding the central controller ID setting mode, be sure to return the SW1 value to that of the Modbus slave address.

Before starting test run
· Set the indoor unit central control address so that it does not match any other indoor unit addresses. · Be sure to press the reset switch SW7 on the Modbus interface when the indoor unit central control address
setting has been changed or added.

Test run

(1) Check the communication status between Modbus interface and indoor unit or TCB-IFCG1TLE with LED5. Check that the communication between Modbus interface and each indoor unit or TCB-IFCG1TLE connected is normally performed by selecting an indoor unit or TCB-IFCG1TLE using SW1 to SW3.
Confirming procedure: · Set bit2 of SW3 to “ON” during normal operation. · Set the central control address of the target indoor unit with SW1 and SW2. Set SW1 and SW2 according to
the “Indoor unit central control address and SW1/SW2 setting” table below. · Communication status is displayed by LED5.
