7.0  BMS 

The Valiant FT boiler has the capability to be accessed by a building management system (BMS) through Modbus RS485. In 

case of a cascade system consisting of multiple Valiant FT boilers, the BMS should be accessing the master boiler. 

Electrical Connection 

The twisted pair wire coming from the BMS can be connected to the terminal block located under the control panel. The 

designated BMS terminals are labelled as shown in the image below for ease of identification: 

 

Software Connection 

The following communication settings should be set for the BMS to establish communication with the Valiant FT:

Holding Registers 

Once the electrical communication and protocol settings have been established between the BMS and the Valiant FT the 

following Valiant FT registers can be accessed by the BMS. Note that some registers are only available for “Read” which means 

that the BMS can only view the value of that specific register. The registers designated with “Write” allow the BMS to change/write 

their values. 

The following Table lists all the Modbus registers available in the Valiant FT controller for BMS access.
