FCS - Operation Manual 

Rev. C | 2022.02

FCS default WAN BACnet® MS/TP (version 1 rev 14), RS-485 communication parameters:

•  Baud rate =76,800
•  Base address = 270
•  MAC address = 100
•  Instance ID = 270100 (the Base Address x 1000 + the MAC Address)
•  Parity = no parity
•  Stop bits = 1
•  Data bits = 8

NOTE: 

For Modbus® network communications wiring, use 4-conductor, 16 AWG stranded 

shielded wire.

As per the requirements of the RS-485 protocol, a termination resistor must be installed 
/ enabled on the last device at the end of the network wiring. This includes the Building 
Management System (if used).

11.1.1 Set Modbus® ID, Remote Baud Rate and Local Baud Rate

For an FCS Controller with Modbus® WAN output, press Menu and enter passcode “1001” to 
enter the Basic menu and select Modbus Setup.

Remote Modbus

®

 ID: 

Use the + and - buttons to increase or decrease the number 

until the correct Remote Modbus

®

 ID is displayed, or press the yellow field and use the 

keypad to enter the number. Press ENTER to save.

Remote Baud Rate:

 Use the + or - to increase or decrease the number or press the yellow 

field and use the keypad to choose the correct Remote Baud Rate. Press ENTER to save.

Local Baud Rate: 

Use the + or - to increase or decrease the number until the correct 

Local Baud Rate is displayed. Press ENTER to save.

Power the FCS off and then on again.
