Wire specifications
○
A dedicated 22 AWG shielded twisted pair wire (EIA 485)
○
Maximum wire length 2000 feet (610 meters) or 32 nodes
○
Devices should be daisy-chained and not star-wired
○
Attach the drain/shield wire to both ends of the network segment and through every controller
NOTE
Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.

Troubleshooting Modbus
Check the following to troubleshoot your RTU Open:
1
Verify that the BAS and controller are both set to speak the Modbus RTU protocol on the Comm Selector DIP
switches
DS3 - DS6
.
2
Verify that the BAS and the controller are both set for the same baud rate:
○
Baud rate DIP switches DS2 and DS1
○
Obtain a Modstat of the controller. Scroll to the bottom of the page to
Network Communications
to view
the active protocol and baud rate.
3
Verify that the BAS is configured to speak 2-wire EIA-485 to the controller. The BAS may have to configure
jumper or DIP switches on their end.
4
Verify that the BAS and the controller have the same communication settings (8 data bits, No Parity, and 1
stop bit).
5
Verify proper connection wiring between the BAS and the controller.
6
Verify that the rotary address switches are set for the controller's unique slave address.
7
BAS must be reading or writing to the proper point addresses on the controller.
8
BAS is sending requests to the proper slave address of the controller.
